There were enough entries submitted to this week’s cartoon contest to fill an arena. Well, maybe not a huge arena. Okay. Would you believe there were enough to fill the Cotillion? Anyway, the turnout was pretty good — around a hundred or so. The winner, Larry England, is a first-time winner and not even a Wichitan. Guess they’ve heard about our arena angst out there in Medicine Lodge. Click on the cartoon at left to enlarge Larry’s version. Bruce Cole of Wichita nearly won again with his entry: "Probably not the Downtown Lions Club they imagined." Stan Putman, also of Wichita, got a little punny with his caption: "I know the crowd expects us to eat ‘em but I’m afraid they’d give me too much glass." From Wichita’s Shawn Smith came "It doesn’t really matter which design they pick. After it’s built the taxpayers will still get eaten alive!" Amy Godsey of Wichita said, "They’re giving me an edifice complex!" She also had a good one with "Don’t pick C — no meat on that wing!" Wichita’s Kim Diane Gibson submitted "Thank goodness there’s 23 letters left. Options D to Z could produce a real winner!" From R. E. Brown: "How utterly tasteless! Let’s just buy a 50" HDTV and stay home." Jeane Cardenas of Wichita had this to say: "Hardly enough flavor to get all taxed up about, is there?" Tom Nickel of Haysville said, "Looks like the new diet is a little fiber and a lot of bull." Tom also sent in "Maybe if they threw in a commissioner or two this would be easier to swallow."
