Comic strip Caption Contest - #1

Catwell
Catwell
28 Oct 2020

                                   This comic needs a caption!

 

What is that monster IC?

It’s a 555 timer! I love working with them, but sometimes making them do what you want seems like an towering challenge. It’s like you have to fight them!

The illustration was a rejected cover for a 555 timer book I was putting together.

But now… it’s a captionless comic.

 

I wanted to put it to all you engineers out there… what should the caption be? Put your caption ideas in the comments below!

 

The winner wins…

 

 

...their caption on the comic. image

 

Vote on the best below!

 

 

For those wondering, "Engineering on Friday" was a comic series I started a few years ago to lampoon the news coming out.

See some of the comics here: Engineering Life

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of a ubiquitous timer, I will fear no evil: for spec sheet art with me; thy solder wick and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a breadboard before…

    I think we need to create a poll and vote on the best!

    Luke, to take down an eight legged 555 all terrain walker IC you have to wire-wrap pin 1 to pin 8.

    Okay all... thanks for the submissions.

    Now is the time to vote!

     

    I could only add the first 20 entries for the poll. But that doesn't mean a comment you made isn't a good one... I just had to truncate all those entries!

     

    Vote now!

     

     

     

    And my second entry to the Cartoon Caption Contest is on it's way!
