Contest(aroo)! Written on October 6, 2008, by Zack.
UPDATE: So, my sources tell me my contest may be a little too difficult (especially in light for the meager prize). HENCE, the rules have changed! If you get me the correct pun before anyone else, you will still be deemed the winner. However, if, in TWO WEEKS, nobody has the right answer, I will select the funniest pun and that person will win the prize! Sound good?
THEN MAKE WITH THE PUNNERY!
ORIGINAL POST: Hello everyone! It’s Monday, meaning it’s time for another Monday Sketcharoo piece to be posted for your enjoyment. HOWEVER, today’s Sketcharoo is going to be a little different. Below you will find a sketch I did a while back, gussied up a bit, but with something important missing from it. That something is its title. The original title for this drawing was a pun comprised of four words and one piece of punctuation. If you can figure out the words and punctuation in their correct succession and post them in the comments section below, I will personally draw you in an upcoming Monday Sketcharoo!* I personally will. This will not be one of those jobs I pass off to my cat. No, you’ll get the winner’s treatment.
So get punning!
**************I’m sure it doesn’t have to be said, but I’ll say it regardless: if you already have seen the drawing in my sketchbook and know full well the title of the piece, you are not allowed to comment! Sorry! I promise I’ll do another one in the near future, though!

My guess:
Captain America: Riding Herd
Haha! Good pun Melissa, but it’s not the title. Send another attempt if you want, though. There’s no limit to submissions.
hmmmm, can’t figure out the pun but awesome picture!
I don’t see why I should be penalized because I could walk across the living room and do a bit of “research” at your sketchbook. Jerk.
Nice color, by the bye.
I think if no one can figure out the pun, you should give the award to the most creative entry:
“Eagle rides local pachyderby.”
Rage Against the GOP! ?
meagher price!? that is not a meagher price…
here’s a keyword brainstorm:
freedom
maverick
racecar
the number 5
pollution
miniature elephant
tuberculosis (poor eagle)
… hope that helps another contestant.
I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since this contest began.
The eagle has Sputtered?
On your mark, get set–elephant aweigh!
These are great, guys, keep’em coming!
Does this have anything to do with the time we went to Scandia on acid?
Riding the GOP’s Ass!
Not really a pun, though. Hrm.
republicans run, ill-eagle race
when endangered species attack!
operation: dumbo drop dead
How about “Baldy Eagly, Clean Shave Elephant” or, if it needs to be 4 words, drop the ‘clean’.
This webpage is my inspiration, (found by googling eagle, elephant and 5) and it is here:

It’s not a pun but sometimes telling things like they are is the best tack:
SAFETY CONSCIOUS ELEPHANT RAMS BABY ELEPHANT UP THE BUM WITH UNDERSIZED, MUFFLER-LESS GO-CART.
Jeez, these are HILARIOUS! Keep’em coming!
And hey Lopez, I was listening to an older episode of Classic Rock Liberation today, and was thinking, “You know, it’s appalling that he hasn’t played ‘Mississippi Queen’ on his show yet.” Then you did.
And for that I thank thee.
America Races Towards Ir-Elephantcy

Sorry, I can’t say how close or far away any of these submissions are. I can say they are awesome and way funnier then the title I originally thought of for it!

or
