Here's your weekly Caption Contest challenge:

I'm starting a new rule this week -- no more than three entries per person per contest.

The prize for the winning entry is a free custom black and white illustration of whatever you like (within reason). To enter, make a comment below containing the dialog you would put in this scene. For example:

Top Word Balloon: Welcome back to "Dancing With the Undead Stars!" I'm your hostess, Draculette. Before the break,
Middle Word Balloon:poor Clark here gave quite a tasty performance, but he's just been voted off.
Bottom Word Balloon: Permanently.

Put on those thinking caps and come up with your best funny line and you too could win your very own professional illustration!

The person who can come up with the best dialog posted to the comments below for the following comic book panel will win a free black and white custom illustration of his or her choice by yours truly. So put on that thinking cap and start with the jokes already!

Be sure to indicate who is saying what in your submission. For example:

Chimp: See, I told you, all you have to do to get this monkey off your back was to take me to see the "Ya Ya Sisterhood" movie marathon!
Android: Just please tell me those are tears I feel streaming down my neck ...

Good luck! I got a bit behind on the winner from last week but I'm working on it now, and will post it as soon as it's done.

You can win your very own custom illustration (like this, or this) simply by exercising your wit and humor! In the comments below, enter dialog that should appear for the characters. Keep it suitable for prime time television, make it funny, and just win, baby!

As an example:

Rollerskater1: Yes, I am wearing a disco skating outfit and carrying a purse. Thanks for the directions and ...
Rollerskater2: ... here's your tip. Don't "blow" it all in one place, heh!
Shoe Shine Skater: Thanks!

Good luck everyone!

The winner of Caption Contest 2 was Dan Swanson!

And here is the comic book panel you'll have to fill with witty repartee to get a shot at your very own custom drawing as well as all the glory that goes along with winning something on the Internet:

Good luck! In your entry, please specify what person gets which line of dialog. For instance:

Green Lantern: I can't believe how long that guy is taking in the bathroom, what's the holdup?!
Six Pack 1: Why don't you just whip up a green latrine, GL? And make it snappy, my pants are already halfway down, and I don't know how much longer I can ...
Six Pack 2: ... ooops.

And as always, please try to follow the Sitcom Rule: Don't write anything that wouldn't pass a network censor. Yes, even the stupid ones.

The winning entry will receive a prize of one free custom black and white web illustration by yours truly, of pretty much whatever they want (within reason, so be reasonable Dan!). Here is the sketch I did for Hades, the winner of Caption Contest 1:

(Edited to rearrange the pictures and to remove the note about changing Dan's entry, which I ended up changing back to the original.)
