Cartoon Caption Contest - The BAS Library

“The first digital cloud.”

Dr. Roger H. Grummer, Colleyville, Texas

Thank you to all those who submitted caption entries for our January/February 2015 cartoon (above), based on 1 Kings 18:44:

At the seventh time he said, “Look, a little cloud no bigger than a person’s hand is rising out of the sea.”

Then he said, “Go say to Ahab, ‘Harness your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’”

We are pleased to congratulate Dr. Roger H. Grummer of Colleyville, Texas, who wrote the winning caption, and our runners-up:

O Ahab come down and experience some serious “climate change”!

—Thomas E. Wickline, Tacoma, Washington

Note to self—Be more specific when asking God to “lend a hand”!

—Martin Bowers, Lexington, South Carolina
