How this works: Each Wednesday we'll publish an Alaska-themed political cartoon that's begging for a caption. Drawings appear in Wednesday's Opinion section and Tuesday evening online at adn.com.
Your mission: Supply a fitting punch line via the Web page at adn.com/opinion. Just follow the Name That 'Toon link in the online opinion section. Deadline for captions is 4 p.m. Friday following each new drawing's publication. Daily News cartoonist Peter Dunlap-Shohl will select three captions to feature in Sunday's paper along with comments on the captions that will appear on Sunday on the Name that 'toon Web Page. (Sorry, Daily News employees and relations, you're ineligible.)

STEVE GRUHN put an interesting spin on this week's cartoon, turning it into a vehicle to drive home an observation about a curious consistency in the type of issue the normally adroit mayor seems to have difficulty navigating. Nice work, Steve.
We'll have a special edition of NTT running next week, the sequel to "Corrupt Bastards, the Musical". We'll have an extra-long submission time, so you can follow your inspiration as far as you like. I plan to put the drawing up tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing the results,
Pete.

Not to worry. When you can't afford to drive your car, parking isn't such a problem.
