Your Mike: The winner of our Lincoln/Oscars cartoon caption contest!

Eric Toth is this week’s big winner, as selected by readers. There were a number of funny entries this week, here are a few of my favorites:

"Honest" Abe, as I am sometimes called, could never be president now! - David Nosotti ·

And you thought there was only one guy with big ears who could play a convincing role acting as president! - Woody Stidham

I want to thank the Senate for finally breaking the filibuster on my nomination, it only took 150 years! - Dan Fox

Don't worry. My acceptance speech will even be shorter than 'The Gettysburg Address'! - Lew Goshorn

And most of all, I'd like to thank Kanye for letting me finish.... - Larry Taylor

And I'd like to thank the Academy for voting a bipartisan ticket this year! - Dennis R. Green

We are all equal no matter how much gold we have. - Denise Maynard
