This time around I received nearly 800 entries! Wowsers! I took a few extra days to read them all, but here are my favorites. You can read almost 600 of them on the Wondermark Facebook page; the rest I received via email. This one was an interesting challenge because it wasn’t immediately obvious which character was talking — but the best captions made it clear at once. Common themes included: lovers’ spats; Iron Man quotes; snark about airlines; pooping-from-aloft jokes; pollution and plaid-pants references in equal measure; and long Dickensian dialogues.
There were a lot more good ones I don’t have room for, but without further ado here are some

Lots of really good ones this week. I was rooting for “A machine to roll along the ground? It’ll never work!” personally.
A wealth, there was. A wealth.
The restraining order one in the honourables was a beauty, but my personal favourite (and on a similar theme) was “For the last time…. STOP FOLLOWING ME!”
Still making me laugh even now 🙂
Did anyone enter with “MARRY ME AND I WILL WHISK YOU AWAY FROM ALL OF THIS.” Although a bit derivative, it would have suited the picture I think.
