We had a lot of really great entries for Character Contest 30, which made judging quite difficult.

Congratulations to the winner of Caption Contest 72 ... Danny Beaty!
I have to admit, this is the one I'd have chosen, too, I laughed out loud when I read it the first time. Congratulations to Danny, who wins his choice of either any item he likes, or a portrait of himself, to appear in the final HeroMachine 3 version.
Thanks again to everyone who entered and especially to all our Finalists!

Illustrator Neill Cameron has been putting together an "A to Z of Awesomeness". Each day he creates an illustration based on reader suggestions for each letter of the alphabet. For instance, here's his "M" entry, "Modok's Melancholy Mouseketeer Memories":

I've been trying to think for a while of some sort of collaborative effort like this, either where you all make suggestions for an illustration you'd want for the SOD, or somehow we make an illustration challenge for the day that you could work on either in HM or on your own. Any ideas?
