May 2026 Escher Girls Caption Contest Winners!
So, it's been 2 weeks so it's time to announce the winners of the May caption contest!
There were so many good submissions this month I had such a hard time choosing. I decided to choose 3 winners and 3 honorable mentions, but I really wanted to expand to 5 honorable mentions because they were so good. If you didn't get picked, I probably considered yours seriously as a winner or honorable mention. It's just hard to choose, especially when some of them were pretty similar.
Anyway, I chose.
Each winner will get to choose a prize if they wish (but you don't have to, you can just participate for fun too.) The prizes are extra Steam codes that I've acquired. If you won and want a prize, please contact me. The prizes are awarded in order of the winners, so first place gets first choice, then second place gets to choose next, etc...
The honourable mentions can get a prize if any of the winners decline (I will contact you if that happens, the prize order for honourable mentions will be selected randomly so the order you're listed here doesn't mean that's the order I will contact you in).
Here are the entries, organized by the platform they were submitted on:
Disqus:
Bob Smith: Borgia: Cyber, you complete tosser! You’ve given me grasshopper legs! But my atomic hot glue gun will fix your little red wagon! Cyber: My BTOOM OF DOOM ray will leave you splattered on the windshield of fate, you absolute door knob! CJ Kral: You know how good it feels to crack your back? Well if you bend your back far enough to hear a Btoom, you'll become completely limp and your joints will feel like rubber. Imry:
YakisobaDayo: BTOOMING IN THAT ONE BTOOM LAVA ZONE WEARIN’ THE V SHIRT (GONE WRONG) (SEXY, IMPRACTICAL POSES) (are we seriously posing for camera every time we fight??) (WAIT ARE YOU PUNCHING ME, CYBER-
Email:
JohnnyBob8: Borgia: " Do you think this is distorted enough to get me in an Escher Girls caption contest?" Cybernary: "I don't think you could do much more!"
Fedi/Mastodon:
waitworry: "guh-uhn!" "thank god I thought I was going to be stuck in there forever!"
Tumblr:
ashekirk: - Argh! My boneitis! - You were so busy being an Escher Girl you forgot to cure it! chaoscheebs: But it's the pelvic thru~u~ust/ that'll drive you insa~a~s~e~a~ane! ... also make people in the background inexplicably explode, I guess. fyrenwater: When engaging in battle voguing, please remember to practice safe trigger discipline. Failure to do so may have explosively catastrophic results. haveievermentioned: https://youtu.be/54ItEmCnP80 harukami: Beans for lunch went wrong yet again. littlegreyduck: "Dammit, time out! My superpowered hot glue gun stuck my hand to the ground!" "Gah! Crap, mine just plain exploded! Whose idea was this anyway?!?" marsinsane: “You were supposed to order a STRIPPER POLE!” “Pyrotechnics is where it’s at!” melonbride: when breaking the spine isn't enough start breaking the shin too! milkawa-and-co: Blue Lady : Put that gun away ! It's a PHOTO shoot ! Nobody wears leather and high heels in a real combat situation !!! Orange Lady : What ?! Is this why my top is so damn uncomfortable ?! oleanderthoughts: "Are you sure this is how it's played?" "Stop complaining and put your right hand on red!" spears-and-tears: "What are you doing? Keep the fireworks *around* me or we will lose points!" "It's not my fault the decided to hold this breakdance contest on iiiiiice -!" spider-honey: When ratings for Drag Race get low enough, Lipsync For Your Life becomes literal. trukingofskeletonhell: "When you said this was an exercise class, this isn't what I had in mind." "Exploding break-dancing is a form of exercise!" wordswithkittywitch: "Okay, right foot blue!" "...you mean your face?" zombiemollusk: "i REALLY don't think this is how chiropractic treatment works." "SHUT UP I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING."
The honorable mentions go to: @fyrenwater, @wordswithkittywitch, and @zombiemollusk
The runner-ups are:
In third place: @harukami: Beans for lunch went wrong yet again.
In second place: @trukingofskeletonhell: "When you said this was an exercise class, this isn't what I had in mind." "Exploding break-dancing is a form of exercise!"
And the winner is... waitworry: "guh-uhn!" "thank god I thought I was going to be stuck in there forever!" (which was funny enough that I made the comic panel of it to accompany the post)
Congratulations to all the winners and also as always a huge thank you to everybody who participated!
Stay tuned next month for the June caption contest! (Also wish me luck on my surgery!)
If you won and would like a Steam code as a prize, please message me with which prize you would like. If you came in 2nd, message me with 2 choices in order of preference... I'll give you your top choice that hadn't been taken by the other winners.

May 2026 Escher Girls Caption Contest!
It's a new month so it's time for the May caption contest!
This month's picture is this weird panel of Cybernary (the orange girl in the background) and Borgia (the green girl in the foreground) uh... fighting? Breakdancing? Something.
I've removed the word bubbles for maximum chaotic captioning.
So caption away! What's happening? What's Cybenary and Borgia doing/saying? What do you think is going on?
Your captions can be a single sentence. A paragraph, a song, a poem, whatever you want! Be creative! Be funny!
Captions can be submitted here via reblog or reply, or at EscherGirls.ca using Disqus comments, or by email at [email protected].
I'll run the caption contest for 2 weeks ending on Friday, May 22, with the winner's announced on Sunday, May 24.
There will be steam prizes for winners, but you can also pass on prizes and enter just for fun! There's no pressure.

It's been 2 weeks so it's time to announce the winners of the April caption contest!
Due to me dealing with so much stuff relating to my (hopefully upcoming) surgery, I forgot to do reminder posts so there weren't as many submissions as last time, but a lot did end up coming in at the last minute
The submissions were all amazing and because so many came in last minute it kinda borked my original idea for winners so I've chosen 3 winners and 5 honorable mentions.
Each winner will get to choose a prize if they wish (but you don't have to, you can just participate for fun too.) The prizes are extra Steam codes that I've acquired. If you won and want a prize, please contact me. The prizes are awarded in order of the winners, so first place gets first choice, then second place gets to choose next, etc...
The honourable mentions can get a prize if any of the winners decline (I will contact you if that happens, the prize order for honourable mentions will be selected randomly so the order you're listed here doesn't mean that's the order I will contact you in).
So here are the entries, organized by the platform they were submitted on:
Disqus:
Bob Smith: Hide and seek, it's all fun and games until the oddly proportioned ninja lady picks up a sword. Demma10: Thought to be lost media, the 80's hit movie "Terminator - Sexy Babe Edition" was recently found in a closed-down Blockbuster. Now available from an NSFW website near your. Draw_this: "I need to hold it together, dammit! She did chop my right arm off though and my legs feels a bit wonky too... Why am I so cold!? Oh, right. I'm not wearing any clothes." Manic Emo Dream Ghoul: "The true piñata is the one that looks red," they handed her a sword. Rin (and Mari, sometimes): "I just wanted to be sexy, why do I have to do this boss fight right now?"
Email:
John Knight: "HEY! ARE YOU GOING TO HELP WITH THE CARPET BEATING?" (Thinks) "How can I explain how much I hate housework?"
Fedi/Mastodon:
waitworry: very poor example of how "hiding" works
Tumblr:
animeengineer: IKEA’s foray into RealDoll’s market had mixed results. canaries-in-dungeon: "-so I thought all the tape would help me hide but noooo, Sonya's x-ray headset found me again. I can't believe she's allowed to bring that to a friendly game of hide-and-seek, it's so unfair!" chaoscheebs: "Please, strong handsome stranger, come closer to my fire. I am cold and very scared and need more warmth. No, this isn't a ploy to get you murdered by someone who is absolutely not my wife with a sword, why would you say that? :c" fyrenwater: The upside to filming a low budget movie in an abandoned warehouse: the atmospheric lighting. The downside: the only available heating is hobo trash fires. harukami: Being a contortionist always helped her in the hide and go seek grand tournament, but it was her willingness to duct tape herself to her hiding spot that really cinched the win. haveievermentioned: Yes. Just a few more years and then I can perfectly cosplay Dhalism. heymerle: I ran out of electrical tape before I did my boobs! mosqlarva: “Oh no. Who can save me from my packing tape accident. Won’t anyone help?” “I’m coming’ babe! Hold on!” silveraptor:: Playing Strip Hide-n-Seek is a longstanding Halloween tradition in the Deathkiss household, but every year someone has to get WAY too into character. woodsworth: This artist does not need AI to fuck up anatomy wrong-thyme: note to self: do not leave your hyper-realistic mannequin near an open flame. and no, reinforcing it with tape won't stop it from melting! zombiemollusk: "how was the party?" "well, my leg got dislocated, i got covered in duct tape, and my plastered friend tried to remove it with a sword, so all in all it went great."
The honorable mentions go to: @chaoscheebs, @fyrenwater, @mosqlarva, Rin (and Mari, sometimes), @wrong-thyme
The runner-ups are:
In third place: @animeengineer: IKEA’s foray into RealDoll’s market had mixed results.
In second place: Johnnybob8: "HEY! ARE YOU GOING TO HELP WITH THE CARPET BEATING?" (Thinks) "How can I explain how much I hate housework?"

Escher Girls March Caption Contest Winners!
It's been 2 weeks so it's time to announce the winners of the March caption contest!
The captions this month were EXTREMELY good, and the captions every month are always really great, but everybody went above and beyond this month for humour and creativity, I assume because the picture lends itself to all sorts of hilarious interpretations.

Each winner will get to choose a prize if they wish (but you don't have to, you can just participate for fun too.) The prizes are extra Steam codes that I've acquired. If you won and want a prize, please contact me. The prizes are awarded in order of the winners, so first place gets first choice, then second place gets to choose next, etc...
