Come up with the best caption for this random comic book panel and win your very own custom black and white illustration of whatever you like (within reason)!

To recap, the rules are:

1. Keep it clean — submissions should be appropriate for a broadcast TV sitcom.
2. No more than three entries per person.
3. Leave your entry in the comments to this post.

Good luck everyone!

I am happy to announce the winner of Caption Contest 15 — Rick! Here’s his entry:

This one was probably a bit borderline in terms of appropriate content for a sitcom, but come on, “Oboy oboy”?! If you don’t laugh at that you’re dead inside. Rick will get a custom black and white illustration of whatever he likes (within reason).

I appreciated all the creativity that went into the entries, but wanted to single out the following honorable mentions as particularly good:

Girl: Erwin, are you sure the “Blueberry Pie Avenger” is the best super hero theme you can come up with?
Off-panel: These are the ONLY powers the mutant pie gave me!
— MLS

On screen: Oh god! I put the roast to bed and the baby in the oven!
Off screen: LUCY! You got some ’splainin to do!!!
— Socrates

Thanks to everyone who entered! I’ll be posting Caption Contest 16 in a moment, so stay tuned for your chance to win.
