I received almost 200 Couple-Up Contest submissions on GoComics. And there were some wild, crazy, funny gags!
But Pogoreader’s absurd dialogue was a favorite of mine—making me laugh out loud. And it made guest caption writer William Van Horn laugh too.

Facebook Winner:
Fans also submitted gags via Facebook. Longtime-fan Laura Drake easily came out on top with the most Facebook “likes.”
Honorable Mentions:
Check out this roundup of some of the best gags submitted on GoComics, Facebook, the Last Kiss website and mental telepathy.

And that’s also what he told her sister, about a month later, when she said “I’m pregnant.” I suppose you can find a comic where that line will fit.
Maybe so. Thanks, jack.
