I can safely say that last month’s contest was the most difficult to judge. And that’s not just because I’ve been busy compulsively irrigating my ear canals in preparation for Take It In The Ear Day—no, it’s because so many of this month’s entrants really showed their stuff, making our jobs a lot harder than we anticipated.
Still, we had to choose a Winnar—such is the nature of contests—so we now present this month’s Free T-Shirt Contest winner: Marissa Perna, with her tenuously medical entry:

How many people want to inject Fantastic Bonanza directly into their circulatory systems? Show of hands!
I cannot stress enough how incredibly close this contest was. You guys owe it to yourselves to gander at this month’s other entrants, if only to see what Graffiti is capable of these days.
Enough words! It is time for the December Contest to show itself:
You know what’s ridiculously simple to write? A haiku. Think about it! Just five syllables, and then seven—and then five more! And you’re done! I mean, yeah, there’s the problem of conveying nuggets of profound wisdom or sublime natural wonder in such a limited frame, but come on—who does that? Seriously!
So here’s your challenge, Bonanza Cadets: write a haiku that is somehow related to Fantastic Bonanza! No need to use the words “Fantastic Bonanza” in your entry, of course. You could even write about, say, Conezor or Joe or something if you really wanted—it just has to be Fantastic Bonanza-related!
Post your poetic masterpieces in the comments section and we promise to read all of them all of the time. Well—not quite. Don’t forget your email address, either—otherwise we can’t inform you of your prestigious win!
