With many thanks to Johanna Draper-Carlson, the commenters both here and at ComicsWorthReading.com, and the other entrants, I am delighted to have been chosen as the winner of the "Men of the DC Universe" Poster Contest. Thanks everyone, especially to Johanna for coming up with such a fun idea in the first place. Being the "I am the crappiest artist ever" type of artist rather than the "I am Lord of All Creation" type, this meant a lot to me.

The last few panels might not have been the best for good lines, so this week I'm offering you a choice. The best caption for either of these two panels wins a free custom black and white illustration of whatever you like (within reason). Hopefully one of the two at least will appeal to you and inspire something great. And even though there are two panels, there will be just one winner -- whatever caption is funniest wins, with the other panel doomed to a captionless existence forever. How sad!
Here's your first option:
A sample caption might be "I said do NOT feed the animals to the plants!"
And here's the second one:
A sample caption here might be:
Balloon1: I think this faux finish bullet hole motif is gonna look great in this room!!
Balloon2: I wonder what "faux" means?
As always, the rules are 1) keep it suitable for a broadcast sitcom, 2) a limit of three entries per person, and 3) leave your entry in the comments to this post.
Good luck everyone!

The winner of the HeroMachine Caption Contest 11 is ... Frankie!
I unfortunately had to edit the final balloon a fair bit, as there was no way to fit the original phrasing into the space allotted. Please check the original comment thread for the full wording. Frankie will win a custom black and white illustration of whatever he or she wants, within reason, which I'll be posting once it's done. I'm a bit behind with last week's winner, but should catch up in the next day or two.
Thanks to everyone who entered!

I interrupt today's scheduled OnomontoPOWia post to instead encourage you to head over to Comics Worth Reading to comment on the entries to the "Men of the DC Universe" contest. So far no one like my entry, which is making me sad. Don't you want to see me happy instead? Host Johanna Draper Carlson is going to base her decision partly on the positive comments left there, so go be positive about whichever one you like best!

Come up with the best caption for this random comics panel and you'll win your very own custom black and white illustration of whatever you like (within reason) by professional artist Jeff Hebert!
Be sure to note which balloon gets which dialog in your entry. For example:
Spock-ish guy: Now that I've been taken over by Eclipso, I find your emotional outbursts highly amusing.
Kirk-ish guy1: Dammit Spock, you've got to snap out of it!
Kirk-ish guy2: And why isn't this Vulcan Nerve Pinch working?!
Spocki-ish guy: How can you have scored with that many females and yet still think that's my neck?
Note that the last balloon has an ambiguous pointer (not that there's anything wrong with that) and could be going to either character.
Anyway, as always, the rules are:
Good luck everyone!

Many thanks to all entrants, this was a pretty good bunch. Here are some of the other ones that made me laugh:
Top Balloon- Well, at first I thought Hell was going to be awful.
Bottom Balloon- However, I didn’t count on Rasputin to be such a good baker. Cyanide cookies are a lot more tasty than they sound.top: aaw man!
BOTTOM: Is it always like this in here after burrito night?top bubble-Odious Kamodius?
bottom bubble- Rhyming in hell? Is this, Dr. Suess’s “you only go to hell once?”Top Balloon: “Holy Slanted Floors!”
Bottom Balloon: “Who knew Hell was constructed from old Batman TV series sets?!”
By the way, BrokenSlot never got back to me about his prize for Caption Contest 9. If anyone knows him or her, please pass the word to get in touch with me. Thanks!
