Fired up economy wins today’s contest | Column

His caption about Joe Biden’s cookout beat out more than 80 entries. Murphy wins publication of his line with today’s finished cartoon. He also will receive a signed print by artist Phil Hands.

Runners-up and their suggested captions include:

• of Camp Douglas: “To be frank, sir, we are all feeling the heat!”

• of Waunakee: “If this is part of your new ‘Burn Back Better’ initiative, you might want to put a lid on it.”

• of McFarland: “Meat prices are up over 7%. Be careful with that hot dog.”

Thanks to all participants. We’ll play again next Sunday with a fresh cartoon and empty caption.
