Here are this week’s finalists:

  • Don’t even say he’s riding high on the hog.
  • Praise the Lard, he won!
  • Who’s squealing like a stuck pig now?
  • Think we should tell him it’s not a horse?
  • No, I didn’t see it coming. I just thought that the pig would have been flying, too.

The cartoon with the winning caption will appear on this blog on July 7 and in the following print edition of Roll Call. The contest winner will receive a signed color print of his or her Capitol Quip cartoon from the cartoonist, R.J. Matson.
