Here is my entry in this weeks New Yorker Caption Contest. Each week they provide the image and you provide the caption.



"I'm gonna close my eyes and whoever stole my gun can put it on my desk."







Here are the left overs...



Is this the best posse we could roundup?

I knew one day the four of you would come looking for me.

We don't have enough shot guns for everybody, so the baby's going to have to bring a knife.

You got a lot of nerve showing your adorable faces around here.








Here are this week's nominees...



“I’m going to give you something for your humanity.”
Submitted by Anthony Griffin
Riverside, Calif.

“There’s a cure—but it’s light-years away.”
Submitted by Cody Walker
Ann Arbor, Mich.

“You won't have to drive to this clinic. Just wait in your cornfield.”
Submitted by Mike Jewett
Ashland, Ore.


I entered...
"You should schedule an abduction at least once a year."

F U Money

In honor of the Super Bowl, I'm going to debut a new series called F U Money. The idea is what would you do if you had so much money that you had loads of left over cash to blow on stupid stuff and say a big old F U to the world.

I'm not a sports fan, but if I had me some insane F U money, I would buy a professional football team and I would change their name to "The San Francisco Home Runs". I would make their mascot a crying baby with a diaper full of shit, they would have the ugliest cheerleaders central casting could find, and their outfits would be pink, glitter covered dresses with tiny ladies hats on top of their helmets.

At first all San Francisco football fans, and the team would hate me, but in time they would be so mocked, that they would learn to fight for their dignity, and eventually become awesome, thanks to my Johnny Cash approach to management. Wait, didn't somebody already do this?

A Dan Scanlon is on Twitter!

Hey everybody, Dan Scanlon is on twitter...

...not this Dan Scanlon, but a Dan Scanlon, and that's good enough for me!

I don't know if, or when, I'll ever get around to tweeting myself, so in the mean time, it's easier for me if you just go to this Dan Scanlon's twitter and pretend that everything he writes is being written by me.

Against my better judgment, I take full responsibility for everything he tweets and will go ahead and assume that all of his opinions will be totally inline with mine! Enjoy!

Comics from Tracy

In our film "Tracy" we had a scene featuring one of the characters secret comic book collection. We created over 30 original comic book covers, most of which go completely unnoticed in the 3 to 4 minute scene. For the next few months I'll post one a week so that they can finally get their due.

This is about as close to straight parody as I get, that being said, I still like it.

It’s amazing how far blackmail can get you around here.

I think I picked up the wrong gym bag this morning.

This guy's never read Tom Sawyer apparently.

They're really shaking things up over here!

This is the second in my two part series honoring the "Comic Character Holding a Dead Comic Character" series where one character carries another dead character whilst screaming to the heavens. This is the "Pogo-esque" version.

It’s kind of the go-to Halloween costume for us proctologists.

Don’t worry my people train for this our whole lives.

I lost a silver space probe, would you mind getting up? You might be sitting on it.

I find the mask helps break the ice for what’s about to happen.

We’re gonna run a few test, then leave you naked and shivering along a country road.

What did you think universal health care was?
