Caption Contest 90: The ties that bind

Come up with the best replacement dialog for this random comics panel (courtesy of Nicholas/GtaMythMaster43) and you’ll win your choice of either any item you like or any portrait to be included in HeroMachine 3′s final release, or a custom black and white “Sketch of the Day” style illustration!

All entries must be left as a comment (or comments) to this post. Keep ‘em clean (appropriate for a late-night broadcast TV show), but most importantly, keep ‘em funny! That will be a challenge given this week's subject, but I know you can do it!

Finally, please make sure to break your entry into the two different word balloons, like:

1. This is absolutely the last time ...
2. ... I fly coach!

Or

1. Um, hello, is anyone out there?
2. I'm here to apply for the Princess Leia on the pleasure barge role? Anyone?

No limit on the number of submissions beyond normal self-editing (i.e. don’t spam crappy entries hoping to get lucky), so good luck to everyone. Contest closes next Monday.

  12. Jeff Hebert says:

    I know this one is going to be a challenge to keep clean, but them’s the rules, folks — use the limitation to be extra creative instead of going for the cheap and dirty stuff. For instance, I think Tim’s (11) entry is very good.

    Michael (7 & 10): I’ve responded to your private email via that venue, this isn’t really the place. Also, this isn’t like a BBS or forum, it’s a blog, it takes longer to get responses and isn’t exactly real time.

    2. But you can’t force me to have a pillow fight in my underwear.

  78. CPrime says:

    1. I totally hate this job.
    2. Being a blind seeing-eye Twi’lek is not worth the money they’re paying me.

  79. CPrime says:

    Most of these are really, really good, but if I had to pick my favorites (other than my own, of course), I’d have to go with Loki (8) second entry, Rick (19), Bael (23), Joel (27), Nakiato (38) entries 2, 3 and 5, Blue Blazer (41), BenK22 (43) entries 3 (with an admitted Firefly bias) and 7, and Dino (46).

    But that’s just my opinion.

  80. CPrime says:

    and frankie (62) as well.
