Naming the fish

It's always a sweet moment when your child names his first pet. The only problem is when they're quite young, they come up with the weirdest or lamest names. For the record, in Gaby's case we got her two fish - the names she insisted on were 'Goldilocks White' and 'Spot Silver White' (in spite of my heavy lobbying for 'Gilly' and 'MacGill' after two Australian cricketers). The winning punchline was submitted by Mark. There were 11 finalist punchlines chosen for this cartoon. You can read the transcript of IRC Judging Session #496 where we decided the winning punchline. This cartoon was archived on 2006-12-12.
