Caption Competition
Winning entries in the caption competition.
The competition is now closed.
This week, multiple Morphs form a flashmob outside Tate Modern in memory of the late Tony Hart. But what's being said?
Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:
6. rogueslr
"Of course, the original Morph made it big in films. He's now Wallace's left buttock."
5. SeanieSmith
1984 Animators' Strike - The Forgotten Victims.
4. Vicky S
"I'm looking for a pencil box. Wooden. About this high?"
3. JudgePix
Before they were famous: this week, the Terracotta Warriors.
2. Rockahula
Not surprisingly, the Fred Goodwin one was already half way to Waterloo on the sole of someone's boot.
1. ValerieGanne
