For this June 2025 edition we welcome our newest amateur
illustrator An. She has created this issue’s Best Caption Contest
Cartoon with August’s theme: “Happy, Joyous, and … Single.”
HERE’S YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT:
Brainstorm the perfect caption for An’s newest creation and
shoot it over to us at essay@sa.org. If your caption captures our
hearts (and chuckles), it will grace the pages of our August ESSAY edition.
Plus, you’ll snag a complimentary print copy of the issue, courtesy of SAICO,
delivered straight to your doorstep. Mark your calendars: the deadline for
submissions is July 15. Let the creativity flow and may the funniest caption
win!
Our in-house illustrator, LaRon has been breathing life into our covers and
peppering our pages with laughter through his cartoons for the past three
years. We are grateful to him for sharing his talent through creating light-
hearted, recovery themed cartoons for ESSAY. In August, 2025, he will
resume his caption contest cartoons in need of your creative captions.
