Just a pinup this week, folks, but it comes with a chance for a little extra fun. Presenting the first Zoo Laffs contests! With FANTASTIC PRIZES, yet! I don’t know if anybody will enter these contests, but let’s run them up the flagpole and find out.
CAPTION CONTEST
Write a caption, or a line of dialogue, or a brief back-and-forth, to go with the pinup above. Bonus points for also coming up with good names for these characters. The entry which I personally like the best will be deemed the winner.
Put your solution in the comments below, and be sure to enter your real email address in the form, so that I can contact you when you win. Note: If you enter a solution, then someone else improves on your solution in a comment below yours, you might BOTH win some highly sought after treasures.
COLORING CONTEST
Create a color version of the pinup above. You can do it in any style, from crude crayons to fancy PhotoShopping to classic oil painting. The entry which I personally like the best will be deemed the winner.
Start by downloading a larger, higher res version of the pinup from HERE. Then email your solution to me at cgarrison[at]bham.rr.com.
DEADLINES
Both contests have the same deadline. Please have your entries in before 10am, PST, of September 10, 2011.
PRIZES
The winners will each choose one prize from among these NINE ENCHANTING TREASURES, and they’ll receive their prize by mail. If more than one winner chooses the same prize, chance will decide the victor, and someone will have to settle for their second choice.
Good luck! (assuming anybody makes an effort)

UPDATE
The winners have been announced! Zoo Laffs Caption Contest winners / Zoo Laffs Coloring Contest winners
“One advantage of being short was the ability to take photos that would be useful later in the privacy of my own home”.
“A grin formed on Sensuality Squirrel’s lips as he found a pair of nuts to his liking”.
Celebrity crotch shots were out as far as Jenkins was concerned, but the fabric used to make the dress was fantastic!
“Pardon me madam but I must be blunt, I must have to say I much admire your cunt”
I probably stole that though, it’s probably an old English folk saying.
As if ChaosD1 would say…
“PAPARAZZI DON’T WORK THAT WAY!!!!”
beaver dude (?): “excuse me! excuse me, miss Love! what are your plans now that kurts out of the picture?”
Courtney love: “derp”
So you know: As with our little hero in “Life in the Analog Age,” he’s actually a buck-toothed bear.
Thanks for the suggestions, everybody! Keep ‘em coming!
Chip: Ma’am! Chip Slatherton, Daily Wombat; is it true you’ve had implants taken from SEVEN different supermodels?
CZ: Chickzilla want brains.
Chip: That is just fascinating! Mind if I photograph it?
Okay, he COULD be a wombat.
The features of this woman just disturb me. Giraffe neck, fish lips, blank expression, etc…
I don’t know if this was intended or not but… yikes.
Those treasures are actually pretty enchanting!
Thanks! I feel like they’re actually not too shabby. I mean, for crap.
I was trying to have a variety, so there’d be something for everyone. Or at least everyone who’s peculiar enough to read Dumm Comics.
I’m not even kidding, those are awesome prizes!
Alabama has the best thrift stores in the world. I’m not sure if that’s true, but it’s something I like to say.
If you’re so keen on them, enter the contests and try to win! What do you want, the duck call video?
The re-remake of Dawn of the Dead.
haha great stuff Garrison! I’ve always wanted to do a proper contest
This is really cute!<3 And I really like how you draw the girls!=)
“Now that’s One hairy beaver”
Bear: “Any chance a guy like me has a shot with a dame like you?”
Girl: “Bearly”
Bear: “What say we take a chance and see what develops?”
As the evening comes to a close, let me say a big thanks to everybody who’s playing along: THANKS!
Lots of funny answers so far. I should have guessed there would be plenty of raunchy upskirt jokes, you filthy rats. Although you may be right, that could very well be the way to go. At the same time, I commend those who are working clean. That definitely adds class. I’m not sure which is the best strategy, so I’ll withhold judgement ’til the end.
The contest will be open for another 3 weeks, so hopefully more entries will continue to trickle in.
Remember, though it might be less creative, it is within the rules to try solutions which build on other people’s solutions, or which simply rearrange them, or which combine the best parts from other solutions, etc.
Anyway, keep ‘em comin’!
Oh, and hey –
I’ve already received one great entry to the Zoo Laffs coloring contest. I don’t know how many folks might participate, but if you’re thinking about giving it a try, jump on in! You don’t want this other person to win by default, based on theirs being the only entry, do you? They should win because theirs is the best! (theirs is quite good, though, so you better BRING IT)
your prizes are insane.
“God, I’m telling you, I’m not going to do a furry cosplay photoset. It doesn’t matter how official you look.”
Oh, Miss Starlet! Admiring fans want to know — how do you stay in such great SHAPE!? (I think she’s gorgeous! I think she’s gorgeous!)
By walking fast and kicking little jerks like you to the curb! (He’s kinda cute — there’s not much of a charm factor, though.)
But, I think you’re beautiful, Miss Starlet! I’m one of your biggest fans! And, actually, I was hoping to get a few shots of you in a more relaxed setting, like maybe over coffee at the Starbucks just up ahead there! (I never tried straight-out sincerity before but this seems like the right time to try that route.)
Uh, okay, I guess that would be alright. (What can it hurt? At least he’s sincere.)
Great! And it will really enhance my story about what a kind person you are! (Which I’ll bet is the truth. She’s just waiting for someone to see the real her. In fact, I think I see a little timidity and sweetness in her eyes!)
Slick little bear-thing, aren’t you! (Maybe he means it, let’s see where this goes!)
THE START OF SOMETHING BIG or SINCERITY WINS THE DAY! (Star & Slick)
“Hey lady are you sure you’re not Mich Jagger in drag”
She does look like Mick to me.
(you did see the bit up there at the bottom, where I announced the contest results, right? not that that should preclude folks from continuing to make suggestions)
