Poll Position: A brave new world

I like thinking about what the real world would be like if some of the genre conventions we all love about comics were to be introduced here. So that's our weekly conundrum:

Caption Contest 70

Come up with the funniest -- while still being clean, that's important this week, as you'll see -- replacement dialog for the balloon in this panel and you'll win the chance to include any item you like, or a portrait of yourself, in HeroMachine 3!

cc70-casper

The rules are simple:

  • No more than three entries per person;
  • All entries must be left as a comment (all in one comment or separate ones, doesn't matter) to this post;
  • Must be relatively clean, appropriate for broadcast on late-night network TV, for instance.

That's it! Good luck everyone, we'll post the Finalists for voting next Monday.

Character Contest 27 Vote!

I hate doing this, but I am going to change the rules for the "Hunted vs. Hunter" contest mid-stream because this thing didn't quite work out the way I intended originally. My apologies for the course correction. What we're going to do instead is to have two polls, one for the best overall Hunter and one for the best overall Hunted. The top vote getter overall will receive a free custom black and white character portrait by yours truly, while the top vote getter in the OTHER category will get any item they like or a portrait of themselves to go into the HeroMachine 3 final version.

In other words, if the overall vote leader is a Hunter, then the Hunter team "wins" and that person gets a character portrait. The top Hunted vote-getter essentially becomes runner-up and gets an item. Or if the overall leader is Hunted, the top Hunter would come in second. Hope that makes sense.

Good luck everyone! You can vote for three Hunters and two Hunteds. Congratulations to all the Finalists, you did a great job! Click on any of the images below to see the character in a larger size.

Congratulations to TheNate for winning Caption Contest 69!

Nate, let me know what item you'd like to appear in HeroMachine 3's final version, or if you'd prefer a portrait instead.

Thanks to everyone who entered and to all the other Finalists!
