With hearty thanks once again to Glenn3's "Say What? Pictures", your challenge this week is to come up with the best replacement dialog for this comics panel:
I love this panel. Why is Captain Triumph flying away from a burning building? Or is it filled with some other noxious substance, perhaps left on purpose by our jodhpur-wearing friend (I put the over-under on fart jokes this week at 17)? I can't wait to see what you all come up with! The best entry (as judged by yours truly) wins the author's choice of either any item they 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 (you pick the subject, I draw it however I like)!
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!
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.

OK .. maybe I didn’t save THAT day.
Gero, according to his wiki entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Triumph), Captain Triumph debuted as the superhero trend was dying down, so his costume was kept to a minimum–enough to say “superhero” without shouting it–in an attempt to draw a wider audience. Whether that’s true, or just speculation, I don’t know.
1. I really need a less explosive launch sequence!
2. Man, the recipe looked so easy… guess I’m getting take out… AGAIN!
3. That is not what I thought they meant by smoking jacket!
4. Captain Flatulence… Away!
5. Oops!

1. Oh…oh crap, not again! I need to take flying lesson’s….
2. I should have listened to mother, never add water to oil!
3. Terrorist man, AWAY!!!!!
4. I should have know, never push the shiny button.
1. ITS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE! I SWEAR TO BULLETMAN!
– Inflmamable means flammable? What a country (Simpsons reference)
– Somebody call Aquaman!
– What’s that? Firefly’s broken into the propane warehouse again? … send Beastboy this time
– Easiest-cosplay-ever-man, AWAY!
– This last one is a skit
B: Captain Triumph, at last, we need your help
CT: At ease bystander, what seems to be the problem?
B: Well… this fire, Captain Triumph… surely you saw it on the way over
CT: Oh really? You want this sorted? … I kinda like it as it is… that was the reason I continued to fly and probably why I didn’t hear your inital crys for help
B: Yes, if anything it looked like you seemed to speed up when I did so. Good thing that photographer’s flash caught your attention
CT: yes, isn’t it… otherwise it may have looked like I fleed from a crime scene… well, this has been a pleasant talk, we really must-
B: -but Captain Triumph, the fire!
CT: Oh, you still on that? Well you know I’d love too, but the thing is that the building’s timber is made of wood, which is my one weakness.
B: I thought that was the Green Lantern?
CT: what, you calling me a liar? Two people can’t have the same weakness, that it?
B: forgive mey Captain Triumph, but I just didn’t assume that your ghost powers would be effected by wood, especially since I’ve seen you save people from such buildings before
CT: well… of course they wouldn’t, but it’s that the actual fire is the true cause of my weakened powers
B: isn’t that the Martian Manhunter’s weakness?
CT: oh sorry, I didn’t realise Captain Wikipedia had arrived on scene. Why don’t I just leave this in your capable hands
B: … you don’t have powers, do you?
CT: … um … no … in all honesty, I just did it this one time to impress a girl… I think we can admit it’s gone a bit far
B: and the flying?
CT: spring boots… yeah, I found them on ebay… I could still do regular guy things if you want, maybe call the fire brigade, or fetch some buckets and-
B: -just go
CT: Sure thing
…
“Goddammit, did they ALREADY bring the Human Torch back?!”
Dammit! The human torch had the bean chaloopa again!
Why does this keep happening to me? I’ll never get into the JLA now!
Remember the Alamo – because there won’t be much left of it.
“I sure wish I had something clever to say right now.”
“So long suckas!”
“Oh good, It looks like fire department is only 30 minutes away. I guess you guys don’t need me.”
1. My pact with the Devil isn’t working! When I said I wanted to ‘burn down the dance floor’…this isn’t what I had in mind!
2. When they told be farts were flamable I didn’t think they meant ‘they can set the draps on fire’!
3. Ha! Now that I’ve burned my apartment down I’m sure to get my insurance money!
@X-stacy (65): Interesting Wikipedia article, including its mention of AC Comics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_Comics), a publisher of which I was unaware. Perhaps a merger with DC is in order?
Hey look!
Smoke signals from the Grateful Dead Tribe!!!
Wow I can see Linsey Lohan’s career from up here!!!

Damn!… Why do I always push the big shiny button?
1. Well with the human torch dead… someone has to do it!
2. Haha.. The Human Torcher strikes again!
3. Man… This happens everytime Johnny Storm has a party!
4. Later dudes!! (Man that Kumar cracks me up!)
5. Captain Escape… Awaaay!
Sorry… but you didn’t pay up on time. Guido doesn’t do interest.
“Don’t let it happen again or next time you won’t get off so easily.”
“Take THAT billy Joel, I guess I DID start the fire!”
Giant radioactive gummi worms are destroying the city! My muscles are no match! This looks like a job for Kirstie Alley!
Wow, I really did leave the oven on.
So THAT’S why you’re not supposed to divide by zero, huh? Interesting…
1- I gotta work on my landings
2- Damn! No toilet paper!
3- I’m not coming back until Hulk swears off the chili!
4- That Kryptonian weed is the BOMB!
1- Practice makes perfect! I’ll catch the NEXT bomb!
2- I don’t care who wins the JLA farting contest!
3- I should’ve cut the GREEN wire…
4- Guess there’s a reason you don’t put Jiffy-Pop in the microwave
That will show her to cheat on me! Cant wait to see the look on her face when she sees the job I did on her apartment ha ha!
“CHEESE IT!”
2. You won’t get away with this, Dr. Flobberbottom!
3. Burn, baby, burn!
