Can You Compose a Witty Caption ?


We have lots of vintage erotic postcards on our website at this link, and it occurred to us that some of the poses - like this one for example - are so ridiculous as to merit a comic caption. The magazine "Punch" - now, alas, defunct since 2002 - used to have a weekly competition for new captions to old cartoons. It gave prizes to the winners. We'd love to be able to do the same, but our finances do not permit such generosity, so instead, if you can come up with an hilarious (and not too rude !) caption for this card, or for any postcard on our web pages, we will construct a permanent memorial to you by adding your name to the caption (should you so wish of course) so that your fame will be spread far and wide - I was going to add "like this lady's legs" but perhaps not. So ignite the humorous side of your brain and show us what you can do !
The New Yorker has excellent cartoons, and you can see lots of old Punch cartoons on their super website - just follow the links !
