The Keizer Times, a weekly broadsheet newspaper serving Keizer, Oregon,
will test its readers ability to be gag writers for Steve Breen’s Caption It!

From the paper’s introduction:
About 10 years ago, Breen began giving readers of The San Diego Union-Tribune a weekly opportunity to caption one of his drawings. The idea grew into a regular, now syndicated, comic strip titled Caption It!
“Young people are now getting humor from creating, viewing and sharing memes, GIFS, TikTok videos, etc. I love traditional comic strips and there are still some really excellent ones. I just like Caption It! because it gets people more involved. I wish we could run 20 captions every week instead of one,” Breen said.
Beginning this week, Caption It!, becomes a weekly feature of the Keizertimes. The cartoon and winning caption from a previous week run alongside a new un-captioned image.
I do think The Times confused Steve’s Union-Tribune contest with the Creators Syndicate version when they told readers where to send submissions:
Entries can be sent to cartooncontest@sduniontribune.com by 10 a.m. Tuesday of every week.
Caption It! gags should be sent to captionitcartoon@gmail.com
