I am happy to announce that the winner of Caption Contest 44 is ... Cory!

Something about headless Conan enemies seems to bring out the best in people, so I thought something happy as the winner was appropriate. A number of other entries were also very funny, including the following Honorable Mentions:
- marx: Frankincense, Myrrh, Gold–those are traditional gifts from a wise man to a king. But this… this is just creepy.
- Frankie: “Yes, yes. (sigh) I’m indeed his ‘little friend’.
- Zorbas The Awesome: Before you say anything….yes I AM his One-Eyed-Willy
- Danny Beaty: Jenny Craig helped me lose over 170 lbs.!
- Malachi the great: *Never* agree to the magic trick.
Many thanks to everyone who entered. For coming up with the winning entry, Cory will win a custom black and white illustration of whatever he likes (within reason). Keep your eyes peeled to HeroMachine.com for your chance to win with the next Caption Contest!
That literally made me laugh out loud. Good one!
Well damn, maybe next time then.
