Spring Olympics

I used to do cartoons for Open Salon and the most popular posts were the caption contests we had. Over a hundred Open Saloners would provide funny captions and big laughs. Well, for those who miss those days, I did for this week's caption contest for the New Yorker magazine. To participate for old time's sake here it is.

Hope everyone is well!

Sincerely, Bob

Great . . . or at least twisted . . . minds think alike.

Good to see you stranger! My favorite non-Olympic sport: Armchair Wrestling, a hotly contested charge to see who gets the recliner.

Thanks all for the encouragement. I'll try to be more present here at Open and read more stuff. If I comeback I feel I should participate as much as a reader, too.
