Global audience
We received 668 entries in this week’s cartoon caption contest. At first Punchlines started as a bit of noise, then they came in fast and heavy, and by the end of it we were digging through inches of footage and hoarding the best ones to share with you. Very cool!
As always, when we have duplicate entries, and we always do, we choose the earliest submitted.
Here is this week’s winner and finalists.
