CapCon 202 (click on second image to see the cartoon) shattered a stereotype dating to the days of the first caveman illustration: the suggestion that males are the only ones who can write clever captions. If traditional impressions from names can be trusted (not always easy -- Stacy Innerst is a man, to clear up some misconceptions) all three winners for our man-in-a-jar illustration are female, a sweep their gender had not achieved since CapCon 60 way back in August 2007. That sounds like a challenge to both sexes to prove their abilities using the dinner table music in CapCon 203.
Send up to three entries to page2@post-gazette.com or mail to: Caption Contest/Portfolio, Post-Gazette, 34 Blvd. of the Allies, Pittsburgh PA 15222. Please include name and address and identify your municipality or Pittsburgh city neighborhood. Deadline: Feb. 11. Winners receive a PG umbrella, which we expect will last at least until the Steelers' next Super Bowl trip. (We're assuming, of course, that the Steelers make it next year.)
