Cartoon Caption Classic: Week Two Results

In Week Two of the Cartoon Caption Classic, two of our three top seeds were eliminated as voters trimmed our overall classic field from 12 competitors to just six.

Two competitors from each of the three heats advanced to Week Three competition.

A third round of voting with a third cartoon begins Feb. 13 for the six contestants who are still alive. Voters will select the two caption writers who will advance to Week Four's finals.

Here's a look at the Week Two cartoon, captions and voting results:

Heat One
