Children's book illustrator and author Mo Willems had a confounding idea: He wanted to try his hand at cartooning on the radio.
It was a logic-defying feat presented by the six-time Emmy winner (for his work on Sesame Street) and master behind the Knuffle Bunny and "Pigeon" series of children's books, so who were we to get in the way?
We asked for your help captioning some of his work and received hundreds of suggestions.
Armed with your very funny contributions, Willems and Michele Norris took it to the studio to give the idea a go.
Below is the cartoon with Mo's caption and below that are some of your submissions.
