[There's still time to get that caption in! We'll keep the contest open through the end of the weekend.]
We’re back with another cartoon by regular _floss reader, the multi-talented Robert Bonotto. To repeat the rules, the idea here is quite simple: Your job is to come up with a gag. Make us smile, make us laugh, extra-points for those who are able to drop some interesting fact or trivia along the way. We’ll narrow down the entries to our favorites and then let YOU guys pick one winner. As with last time, when dropping your gag in the comments, also let us know which t-shirt you prefer in case your caption is selected the winner. (T-shirts can be found over in our store.) Enter as often as you like, so long as each caption is in a separate comment.
Lastly, if you’re good with the pen and think you’d like to contribute a cartoon of your own for a future caption contest, or want to pitch me an idea for one, please leave a comment and I’ll be in touch with you via e-mail.

When I heard little Joey plays “in the pocket,” I assumed it meant he was into jazz…
(It’s a musical term. Means a musician or band is really in the moment or having an especially good session. It’s what I learned from marrying a musician.)

When they told us we would have a mob, this isn’t what we had in mind.

Little Roo to all:
Once I vacate this marsupium, I’m going to take up the saxophone just like my dad, Joe Sr. That’s how a boomer scores a flyer. Not by playing the triangle.
