Deadline: Sunday, February 1, 2026, Midnight.
In honor of our second year under Grump the Conqueror, Eckleburg is running a caption contest featuring you know who and his newest favorite conquest. We thought about going with an Epstein theme, but the cartoon just got way too creepy.

Payment through Venmo, so make sure you have a Venmo account. Winner receives $500 prize along with cartoon and caption published in Eckleburg. Maximum word count: 15.

You didn’t give me the ‘Nobel’ so I’ll get my own prize.
