I'm sure "The Enchanted Dagger" would tip his cap to the guy who designed his costume, only he doesn't have a cap. Or a belt. Or shoes, gloves, or anything else but long red underwear in what is surely a front-runner for Laziest Costume Ever:
At least he has the comfort of wearing footie pajamas. Those things are awesome. I wonder if he also has the button-up rear-end flap?
Holy crap, I can't believe I wondered that. Or published it. Gulp.
I tried to imagine an even more generic, uninspired, lazy outfit, but I drew a blank. The closest I could come was Namor's scaly briefs, but at least he had winged feet, which you have to admit is thinking outside the box for a guy who lives underwater.
You'd think with a name like "The Enchanged Dagger", a guy who runs around with -- you guessed it -- a giant enchanted dagger would have someplace to put that Enchanted Dagger. But unless he's sporting some deep pockets in those skin-tight underoos, I'm not seeing a sheath or anything like it.
If it weren't for that sad little domino mask, he'd basically be a crazy person running around in his longjohns. Which, come to think of it, makes him fit right in with the other members of the super-hero fraternity ...

Because I want to be sure everyone has time to work on their Friday Night Fight entries (reminder, they're due by this Friday! That's THIS FRIDAY!), I'm going to do a second Caption Contest week in a row. Now you've got no excuse for not entering FNF2!
This week's a bit different, though. Usually there's a pre-existing dialog balloon that I erase, leaving it to you to complete. This week, though, I wanted to go with a balloon-less image that you can add dialog to however you like, so you have a bit more freedom. And for our subject, what better than Ultimate Wolverine and Hulk duking it out? Or checking each other's teeth for broccoli stains, whichever. Here's your base image:
Be sure to indicate in your entry who's saying what. So for instance, you might submit something like:
Wolverine: Your breath stinks!
Hulk: Are you sure?! Take a REAL good whiff!
You can have one character saying something, or both, or neither, choosing instead for one of those bottom-line commentary captions you sometimes see on the funny pages. Like:
Commentary: And that was the last time Bruce Banner asked Logan for help picking meat out of his teeth.
Otherwise, the rules are simple -- as many entries as you like (within the bounds of good personal editing), appropriate for no worse than a late-night broadcast TV show, by next Monday. The winner receives their choice of a) any item they like to be included in HeroMachine 3; b) any portrait they like to be included in HM3; or c) any subject (within reason) for a Sketch of the Day style custom black and white drawing.
Good luck everyone!

Thanks to everyone who entered Caption Contest 85, our Halloween Dress-up Edition! Some of the entries I thought were particularly funny were:
But I could only pick one winner, so I went with the one that I thought was a) the funniest, that also b) conveyed some sense of a larger story beyond just the one panel. And that caption was submitted by none other than ... Bael!
Bael wins his (or her, heck, I dunno, that's what internet anonymity is all about!) choice of a) any item they like to be included in HeroMachine 3; b) any portrait to be included in HM3; or c) any subject they like (within reason) for a Sketch of the Week style black and white custom illustration.
Congratulations and thanks to everyone for participating!
