Thank goodness **Spoons** wandered in or I never would have been able to decide. Winner is **Spoons** for **“He’s a monster. She’s a young girl. Together–they’re detectives! Watch “Tokyo Five-O,” Thursdays at nine, on NBC!”** In close second place, there is a 6-way tie! You guys are incredibly clever! **Riemann** : What if Godzilla was one of us? **PlaceboTarget** : _“_ _Now keep smiling and hand me the basket… and no sudden moves.”_ **Prof.Pepperwinkle** : Hiroshima, Mon Amour! _Return of the Attack of the 40 Foot Woman_ **Elmer\_J.Fudd** : _Kieko wasn’t taking any more chances with that pic-a-nic basket thieving bear._ **Running\_Coach** : Beauty and The Beast: A Study of Cross-Cultural Standards of Attractiveness. I’d been trying to think of some kind of caption for this image for 5 years and always came up empty. I’ve even used it for the SDMB postcard exchange (with no caption!). Now I have many captions to choose from! **Spoons** , do you have a comic to submit? ---
