Caption Contest 3: Three heroes walk into a bar …

The winner of Caption Contest 2 was Dan Swanson!

Spitzer is a bird brain

And here is the comic book panel you’ll have to fill with witty repartee to get a shot at your very own custom drawing as well as all the glory that goes along with winning something on the Internet:

Three heroes walk into a bar …

Good luck! In your entry, please specify what person gets which line of dialog. For instance:

Green Lantern: I can’t believe how long that guy is taking in the bathroom, what’s the holdup?!
Six Pack 1: Why don’t you just whip up a green latrine, GL? And make it snappy, my pants are already halfway down, and I don’t know how much longer I can …
Six Pack 2: … ooops.

And as always, please try to follow the Sitcom Rule: Don’t write anything that wouldn’t pass a network censor. Yes, even the stupid ones.

The winning entry will receive a prize of one free custom black and white web illustration by yours truly, of pretty much whatever they want (within reason, so be reasonable Dan!). Here is the sketch I did for Hades, the winner of Caption Contest 1:

    Gasman: “Lanternheart’s right Cool. We can’t form the Happy Hour Justice Bar Society League without a leader.

    You always get the ladies. At least then we’ll get to talk to them; (for a little while anyway…)

  12. Jeff S. Says:

    Green Lantern: “Just one more game of darts. I know I’ll kick your tail this time.”

    Six-Pack 1: “You better not play again. If you do you can find someone else to keep score for you.”

    Six-Pack 2: “One dart in the leg from GL is more than enough for me.”

  13. John D Says:

    GL: “Dude, look I’m not gonna drive! I have no pockets for keys!”

    SP1: “Don’t worry I got his keys.”

    Sp2: “You wanna try and find ‘em?” (wink)(wink)

  14. Sean Says:

    GL: Woah! Mr. Cool, check out that one! Look at those cheekbones!

    6Pack: I’m gonna hurl.

  15. Snap Zoom Says:

    Green Lantern: What! You used my power ring to pay off your bar bill?
    6pack 1: Relax GL. Since the Oans started handing them out like candy you can pick another one up off ebay for next to nothing.
    6pack1: You wanna be less stressed. I think your spandex is on too tight.

  16. Christopher Vogel Says:

    GL: C’mon man! Just give me a little taste of your beer! Please?! I never beer before, and my Mommy won’t let me drink it at home.

    Overweight-Beerguy 1: You might as well let him have a sip of your beer. Otherwise, we could be here all night.

    Overweight-Beerguy 1: Crap, man! He’s already startin’ to annoy me. *BUUUUURRRRRRRPPP*

  17. Leiha M Says:

    GL: Dude, the deal was, only I wear green! How many times do I have to tell you this?

    6 pack1: Yeah, you should have seen what I was going to wear tonight until Mr Green Jeans here picked me up and made me change.

    6 pack2: Although I must say, I make this outfit look GOOD!

  18. Rob Says:

    GL: C’mon. You’d be a great Green Lantern. You already have the right look!

    6pack 1: First thing he’d do with a ring is make a green woman.

    6pack2: *Burp* You know, like yours.

  19. The Doomed Pixel Says:

    Green Lantern: You mean this bar has the only bathroom in three miles? I have to go HERE?

    6-Pack: Yup, that’s what I said…

    6-Pack: So…can I watch?

  20. ninjast4r Says:

    GL: C’mon Mr. Nicholson! I loved you in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest! I just want one autograph! PLEASE!

    Six Pack: There’s something fishy about this guy. I swear I saw him somewhere before. I DON’T think he’s Jack Nicholson.

    Six Pack: Now that I’m thinkin’, where is my hat? I swear I put it on this morning.

  21. Ashton Jakobson Says:

    Green lantern: Dude! I’m telling you, I left my cellphone right on that bar over there.

    Fat guy 1: Keys on the bar? Uh Oh…

    Fat guy 2: I thought that was a piece of toast…(burp…)
