Caption Contest 119: Howdy!

Your challenge this week is to come up with the best replacement dialog for this comics panel (which comes to us courtesy of the always awesome Glenn3's "Say What?" PhotoBucket site):

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 to entries, but please, self-edit and only put up ones you genuinely think are good!

    Hope you got a magnifying glass in that there arm of yours bud! Else you’re gonna have one heckova hard time reading what I’m about to tell you, I mean, that darn artist has left one poncy little itsy-bitsy piece of space for that there lettering guy to try and cram in my side-splitten’ wisecrack and the necessary plot development to explain how comes your appendages are disappearing like some martial arts Ninja-ghost warped out on a PCP comedown, I mean, there’s hardly room in there to for a “Zounds electric!” before the poor lad runs out of space. Anyway, can’t stand around jawing, got a city to save and so forth – so-long dude, thanks for all the fish, and like I say, folks round here are mostly armless so you should fit on now problemo….

  67. Prentiss says:

    “Is that a hard light construct in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”

    3. “Help me find my contact.”

  71. DiCicatriz says:

    daniel england:
    5. (comment deleted by Jeff)

    C’mon, buddy. Let’s not be offensive. Or offensively redundant at that. You would think both ‘gay’ and ‘fag’ together to be unnecessary. One could certainly infer the former from the latter in any case. Besides, the possibility of Green Lantern being gay isn’t something to disparage. After all, Midnighter’s gay and he could certainly hold his own against Batman 😛

  72. Joel says:

    “……On second thought, I’m not gonna fist bump.”

  73. Sojasonk says:

    “Very well, I reluctantly agree to sign your arm cast, but only because I’m the one that Bat-Broke it in the first place.”

  74. Jeff Hebert says:

    DiCicatriz is right, that comment was out of line, Daniel.

  75. P.F. Bruns says:

    1. “Handy? Errrr, no thanks.”
    2. “Yeah, I can put a good word in for you with Rocksteady. Though…about your rogues’ gallery…”
    3. “Look, all I’m saying is that bright glowing green isn’t exactly a good color for stealth missions.”
    4. “Now, on the other hand, look at my cowl. Not only does it cover my head and more than half my face, but the ears both distort my profile and contain communications equipm…and I’m apparently not wearing it.”
    5. “You know, I don’t know why I’m saying this, but your hair would look really good with graying temples.”

  76. P.F. Bruns says:

    DiCicatriz:
    1) I love the Power Glove… It’s so bad.

    I woulda gone with “rad.” 😉

  77. X-stacy says:

    Seriously, though, how much for the ring?

  78. Frankie says:

    “Don’t shoot. I’m not a real bat-man, it’s just a costume.”

  79. kyle says:

    1)Batarang beats machine arm evertime.
    2)Lets blame this mess on superman !
    3)I bet superman and wonder woman had fun last night !
    4)so you and she hulk are a thing now!
    5)Only kryptonite could beat superman !
    6)Hahah you weakness is yellow !
    7)i have no idea why i remove the mask.

  80. Dan says:

    DiCicatriz:After all, Midnighter’s gay and he could certainly hold his own against Batman

    No question there, and in fact he may be tougher than Batman. Just think of the kind of lovin’ that Apollo must be able to dish out. He loses control for one second, and say bye-bye to your bits.

  81. Nicholas says:

    Damn. I need to check in more often so *I* can post the funny ones before someone else.

  82. Herr D says:

    5. what’s the sound of one green hand clapping?

  83. Bael says:

    A domino mask? Really?

  84. Frevoli says:

    So much for the Justice League movie

  85. Orangebob07 says:

    Pffffffftttt, you need to use guns?

  86. Tom "Deadman" Lively says:

    1) “You’re right, Jergens should definitely put a disclamer on the bottle!”
    2) “I was told it would cause you to go blind, they didn’t say anything about this.”
    3) “How am I supposed to sign that cast?”

  87. Deadman says:

    1) “You’re right, Jergens should definitely have a disclaimer on the bottle.”
    2) “I was told that it would cause you to go blind, I never heard about this!”
    3) “Now how am I supposed to sign that cast?”

  88. ams says:

    Do you have problems with your costume chaffing? Better pull out the “Bat-talcum” again….

  89. ams says:

    One TV show and movie? HA! I got shows and movies coming out the ying yang!

    4. Wanna touch my abs? They’re real leather…
    5. So you can make ANY shape outta that arm?
    6. No, I can’t fit a rocket launcher in my utility belt…
    7. …So. You wanna go to Atlantic City?
    8. *Someone’s gonna get it!* (singsong voice)
    9. You know, maybe that last bowl of weed wasn’t such a good idea…
    10. ARE YOU GLOWING?! Gotta get off the shrooms…

  93. CrabCake says:

    Hey, welcome to…..um……..somewhere?

  94. FRM says:

    At least my face is hidden most of the time! Your mask is so small, why not just get green eye-liner?

  95. FRM says:

    Of course! The GL Corps could have sent someone good like Rayner or Stewart, but NO! They sent you.

  96. FRM says:

    Was that YOU i saw snatch a frank from the stand that bane threw? Heroes these days!

  97. Myro says:

    2. “Yeah, I didn’t buy Ryan Reynolds as you either.”

  98. Tatiana says:

    “So you can create anything you see in your mind using the energy from that ring, cool bro. I guess that means your too poor to just by the real thing.”

  99. Kytana says:

    “Do those rings come in black too?”
    “Making a extra appendage with you ring, tells me that you are having a mad hood problem, do you need to talk about it?”

  103. Wil says:

    Dude, I thought that ring meant you were engaged with Carroll I never new it was a ring that kills people…ALFRED!!!!!

  104. Ryan says:

    Whats with people with powers ,they always go f***ing up everything

  105. Michael says:

    What are you looking at haven’t you ever seen a rich millionaire playboy be a super serious superhero before?

  106. Kaito94 says:

    1: “Really dude? I tell you ‘Green’s not my favorite color’ and you level my house?”
    2: “I took off my mask, now it’s your turn.”
    3: “Soo…..Robin lent you his mask?”
    4: “Hey, want to get some friends and start up a club? We can even make a game about it!”
    5: “You’re a lot shorter in person….”
    6: “See? My mask covers my head well, I bet your tanline makes it hard to keep your dayjob a secret.”

  107. 1. Next time, I’ll call a real plumber.
    2. I’m just going to stand here and bask in my awesomeness.
    3. You just experienced what I call “bat-sh!t crazy.”
