Enter a Caption and Win!
UPDATE: CONTEST DEADLINE HAS PASSED… COMMENTS ON THIS ENTRY ARE NOW CLOSED!
Time for a new contest!
Come up with a witty caption for the image below and you will be eligible to win one of the following “book & comic series” prizes (…there will be two winners chosen!) :
- An almost-impossible-to-find signed “Advanced Review Copy” of The B*tchfight by Arnzen
+ the first four issues of Jai Nitz’ horror comic series, Heaven’s Devils (Image). - A signed copy of Arnzen’s (now out-of-print and still out-of-its-mind) novella, Licker
+ the first four issues of Army of Darkness vs. Reanimator (Dynamite Comics).
NEW BONUS ADDITION: A THIRD PRIZE!
Matt Schuster will be picking his personal favorite caption for his art, and the winner will receive the original sketch for it! If you haven’t entered yet, the odds just got a lot better, so act now!
HERE ARE THE RULES:
- DEADLINE: JULY 6th, NOON, est. Any captions/comments received after that date will not be eligible to win.
- Anyone can post a caption to enter by leaving a “comment” below.
- One entry per person — so make it count.
- I know it’s hard to abide by this one, but no obscenity. That’ll be my judgment call, but try to keep it PG-13. I won’t approve comments with “curse” words or overt description of sexuality, because kids do visit this site.
- A valid e-mail address MUST be provided on the comment form along with your entry so that you can be contacted if you win a prize. Your privacy will be respected.
- ALL entrants who post entries will be added to the Goreletter e-mail list, if they are not already subscribers. To win you have to be a subscriber when decisions are made. You may unsubscribe after the contest if you want to (but you won’t want to); regardless, your personal info is safe.
- Captions do NOT have to be funny to win, but must pertain to the image given. The winners will be chosen based on Arnzen’s entirely subjective judgment about good captioning.
Thanks to MATT SCHUSTER — the artist from Proverbs for Monsters — for graciously providing this original sketch for this contest. Drop by his website to see more of his fantastic imaginings!
Here it is…caption away!

Jerry loved his malformed, green limbs. They drew attention away from his womanly hips and miniscule penis.
