They will all receive a framed copy of their cartoons and caption with recognition from Supply Chain Digest and be eligible for our semi-annual prize as voted on by readers.

We had about 250 submisissions for this contest, down a little from our top cartoons, but with an unusually strong group of entries - hence the record number of winners! Thank you!

We had quite a few entries that dealt with ordering lunch or bagels or something, so were weren't able to use many of those.

As always, we use the first person to send in a caption with a given theme as the winner or "best of the rest" honorable mention.

 

Many other great entries! See other especially funny captions below.

Didn't make it? Don't despair - we just have far too many entries to post them all. But you will make it soon!

New cartoon on the SCDigest web site on Monday, April 25, 2011.

     

We Need Ideas!

We would love that too, and will give you the credit.
