Caption Contest 71

Once again, your biggest challenge in coming up with funny replacement dialog for this comics panel is going to be keeping it clean enough to pass the censors:

exciting-comics-13-1941-dummy

The rules are simple:

  • Keep it clean, appropriate for a late-night broadcast television program;
  • No more than three entries per person;
  • All entries must be left in a comment (or comments) to this post.

Good luck everyone! The funniest replacement dialog will win either a portrait of the writer, or any item they choose, for inclusion with HeroMachine 3. Entries close next Monday.

I know his arm is wrong (his right arm should be mechanical), but I was mostly going for the alternate jaw. The one yesterday was an attempt at being more "realistic", but I more went-for-broke on this version.

First person to request that background in HM3 get a haddock to the face, because it's already there in Background-Auras. So nyah!
