Top honors and a $25 Amazon gift card go to cmgreenjr1 for his clever wordplay penned below by cartoonist John Klossner.

Second prize, a $10 Amazon gift card, goes to Matthew K. Miller (matthewkmiller), whose day job (not writing cartoon captions) is as a  senior information security engineer. His winning caption: "When I heard him say he was about to get medieval on the malicious actors, I didn't take him literally.”

The two captions bested 44 other entries, all of which made our panel of judges (John Klossner, Tim Wilson, Kelly Jackson Higgins, Sara Peters, Kelly Sheridan, Curtis Franklin, Jim Donahue, Gayle Kesten, and yours truly) LOL for days. Thanks also to everyone who entered the contest and to our loyal readers who cheered the contestants on.

If you haven't had a chance to read all the entries, be sure to check them out today.
