Caption Contest 77 VOTE!

I had more great entries for Caption Contest 77, but unfortunately many of them were simply too long to fit in the provided thought balloon space. Luckily we had a number of funny ones that did fit there, and now you get to decide which is the funniest of all!

[polldaddy poll="3315128"]

Vote for as many as you think are good, and the overall top vote getter will receive the author's choice of either any item they like, or a portrait of themselves, to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 version.

Good luck everyone, and thanks to all who entered!

Character Contest 36 – Superman Villain

Your character design challenge for this week is to develop an enemy for the mightiest super-hero of all time -- Superman! You'll need to provide the image, of course, but also a brief description of who they are and why they're a match for the Man of Steel. The person who creates the best overall character will win their choice of either any one item they like, or a portrait of themselves, to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 version.

The rules are simple:

  • No more than three entries per person;
  • Entries must be provided as a comment to this post, including a link to the character image hosted on a free, publicly accessible site like ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the UGO Forums, or even Facebook (make sure you set the album to "Public");
  • All entries must be posted by next Monday, at which time I will choose a winner;
  • You cannot use any existing copyrighted character design, name, or symbol (like a mockup of the Superman logo, for instance).

Good luck, everyone!

So, obviously I fell behind on these. I'll try to catch up this weekend, and first is something completely different -- the view outside the window of my office room at the new digs in Colorado:
