< Back to Cartoon Caption Contest Past Winners Cartoon Caption Contest Winner, November/December 2010
And the Winner Is...
“Trust me, I’m a vegetarian.”
—Michael Brewer, Smyrna, Tennessee It’s one of the most popular sayings from the Bible—the lion lying down with the lamb—but it’s a misquotation. It’s the wolf who will lie down with the lamb; the lion and the calf will be together (Isaiah 11:6).
As for the mouse who removed the thorn from the lion’s paw—that’s not in the Bible at all.
Thank you to all those who submitted caption entries for our November/December cartoon. We are pleased to congratulate Michael Brewer of Smyrna, Tennessee, who wrote the winning caption.
