UPDATE: The winning caption for October is: "If you need to be rescued from a burning building, press 1. If you've been kidnapped by an evil genius and are being held in his secret volcano lair, press 2..." submitted by Jairo Baylon. Congratulations, Jairo!

ICMI is kicking off its Call Center Cartoon Caption Contest! Each month we will be publishing a brand new cartoon for you to caption and possibly win a prize!

Want to give it a shot?

Here's how it works:

Look at the posted cartoon. Think of a funny caption (that you wouldn't mind sharing with your grandmother) and post it here in the comments.

It's as simple as that!

Be sure to take a look at the official rules before you enter: Official Rules.

October's contest is closed, but we have a brand new cartoon posted for November.

Sound good? Why not get your call center friends and colleagues to give it a shot, too!

We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

You don't have to be a Super Hero to be a Super Agent.

Superman: What happened to Hulk?
Supervisor: We had to let him go due to some anger issues. But he referred a friend of his who seems to be working out great! Right Dr. Banner?

This is great! We should make enough with this call center to keep us in quality spandex!

Those Heroes went through ICMI's Essential Skills and Knowledge Course...I want to be a hero!

It takes superhero powers (i.e.training,tools, etc) to be a Super Agent!!

Dale Stout – Oct 9, 2011 at 4:37PM

With great power, there must also come great responsibility.

In hindsight, relaxing the dress code policy may not have been the smartest idea.

Jairo Baylon – Oct 13, 2011 at 12:32PM

If you need to be rescued from a burning building, press 1. If you've been kidnapped by an evil genius and are being held in his secret volcano lair, press 2...

MANAGER: "...maybe this casual Fridays is getting a little out of hand...."

Dale Stout – Oct 15, 2011 at 8:29AM

We each have our own calling.

Chris Davis – Oct 19, 2011 at 4:43PM

"We have to be Super Heroes in Customer Service!"

Bob O'Hagan – Oct 24, 2011 at 12:45PM

"Well, Sherman, Looks like you're going to miss 'Agent of the Month' again."
