Caption That Cover: Shirtless & Lawless

We’ve returned with another Caption That Cover contest!

Shoutout to Carole once again! Though this cover has since undergone a facelift, here is the original one that was sent to us by Carole and her bottomless folder of snark.

A shirtless man in a cowboy hat stands in front of a covered wagon. A woman behind him is looking appreciatively at his backside.

“His Town. His Laws. His Justice.” Is going shirtless part of the town laws for ol’ Sheriff Nips over there? Do all the men need to engage in pec blasting hour between noon and one?

Here are the rules for captioning that cover:

Comment below with your caption! Caption that cover however you wish! You can come up with a new title or tagline. Maybe tell us what the woman in the back is thinking. You can use the heart symbols next to comments to mark your favorites, or you can comment on which caption should be best in show. A winner will randomly be selected at the end of the contest!

The best captioner will receive a $10 bookstore credit to a book retailer of their choosing.

Standard disclaimers apply: We are not being compensated for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. Open to international residents where permitted by applicable law. Must be over 18. We know it’s called the “Wild Wild West,” but we aren’t sure how wild is too wild. Any ten-gallon hats should be checked to see if they can hold the full ten gallons. Comments will close Friday November 23, 2018 around noon ET, and a winner will be announced shortly thereafter.

Best of luck!

Winner update: Congratulations to MsCellanie with the caption, “I stripped the sheriff, but I did not strip the deputy.”

Thanks to all of the commenters and their awesome captions. We have a lot more giveaways coming up!

    Girl has the look of a slypants about her, as my mother-in-law used to say.

  19. Nicolette says:

    I think I figured out interest letters.

    “Sheriff Tough Rough-Stuff, son of Agnes Rough-Stuff, was the Rootinest varmint of the Romancelandia western continent due to his love of easily strippable shirts. But when a new graceful lady came out of nowhere to save his life from a scary train, he’s turning from an unexpected sheriff to a grateful sheriff. And if Lady Lay-o-the-land will get his attention, perhaps he could figure out her classic bodice exploder party trick. Will this be puppy love or the greatest comeback for a practical joke team in all of Romancelandia?”

    While all his shirts were at the laundry, Sheriff Waxman had to find another place to put his badge. However, he wasn’t sure it was the pin that was pinching his butt.

  26. Anony Miss says:

    Meh. Merely decent exposure.

  27. Kris Bock says:

    Duke thought nothing could be worse than losing the election to a woman. But it’s her town now, her laws, and she’s out for revenge for that childish prank he played stealing her laundry. She doesn’t get mad – she gets even.
