Everything old is new again

A discussion recently came up where captioners were asked to dig back into their archives for one of their first captions to show new caption writers that even some of the best artists started small.  Part of the exercise was also in taking that first caption and re-imagining it with our current skills.  These are the results of my efforts.

The original caption from way back in 2007:

This is my updated version:

So...what do you all think?  Aside from fixing the typos, is the new version better?

Checking In / Checking Out

I recently had a bit of time to caption for a change.  I had an idea hit me that just demanded that I make it into a caption.  I won't bore you with the details.  If you're still following my blog, you've waited long enough for something new.

The Cold Shoulder

I had a bit of inspiration for the November caption contest on Rachel's Haven.  The rules for this month include a restriction that the captions tell the story through only dialogue.  Since the vast majority of my captions are done in that style, it seemed like I would be remiss to let it pass me by.  The result is this caption.

The Final Cut

It turns out that today is a double feature.  Not only do you get some guest captions to sample, you get a brand new two panel caption from me.

My thoughts have turned to Halloween with the month of October rolling in.  With it has come a creative slant toward a more horror genre...or at least a horror spoof.  I'm sure that anyone reading this caption will immediately know the source of inspiration that spawned it.

As soon as I saw the image of the long haired Asian girl with her back to the camera, my mind went directly to work.  You might say that it haunted me until I pulled together the pieces to loose it on all of you.

Read carefully, dear reader.  You never know if the spirit of the season might come for you.

Waiting for a Call

I'm slowly getting back in to the swing of getting a few captions made.  It's still going to be slow going for the foreseeable future.  My attention is focused on other ventures at the moment.  I'll continue to post caps as I'm able to churn them out.

Life's Little Puzzles

I'm still slowly but surely catching up with caption debt from the Fantasy Football post-season drubbing that I took.  This is the second to last one in my backlog of must-do caps.

Edit:  The phone posting didn't work out as well as I'd hoped.  Fixing it up from the PC.

A Re-Birth of Sorts

A good friend who I chat with often had a birthday this week, so I made this caption for Elly.

I notice that this blog has nearly reached a huge milestone.  In just a day or so, it will reach 1 million views in the past 2 years.  I can't fathom my work being that popular, but yet...for some reason...it is.  Given my recent dry spell, it makes it even more amazing to me.

If you regularly read my captions, please take a moment to leave a comment to let me know what you like about my captions.  Here are some potential questions to answer to help me, but feel free to ask or suggest anything:

• Is there something I've been doing that makes my captions more appealing to you?
• Is there something you'd like to see me do that I haven't?
• Are there caption series that I should continue?
• Should I attempt to be more multi-cultural in my photo selection?
• Are the multiple panel captions worth the effort it takes to make?

Now is the time for you to voice your opinion on how I should move forward.
