I am happy to announce that the winner of Caption Contest 17 and his very own custom black and white illustration of whatever he likes is … Niall Mor! I’m delighted because a) it’s a funny entry, causing my friend John to literally laugh out loud and b) Niall’s come in second more times than I can count, so it’s great to see him finally get the Win. Here’s the final panel:
Other finalists included:
Rick: …Check please.
MLS: Seriously Erwin, I… I don’t think that counts as a super power. *cough*
Thanks to everyone who entered, this was quite a challenge! I hope you all try again with Caption Contest 18, coming up later today.

Each week I take one (and only one) panel from each of ten randomly selected comic books and try to forge some sort of coherent narrative from them. This time I’ve found myself (somewhat to my surprise) in the middle of a full-blown morality play, despite being given comics featuring Superman’s debut, a search for missing soldiers in Viet Nam, and some of the funkiest, wildest stuff I’ve seen in a “Judge Dredd” issue.
With that, we’re off!
I now leverage the power of having my own blog to force you, the unwitting reader, to pay attention to my latest ideas for comic books which I will never actually publish! This reminds me of something I read by a popular author who kept getting people deluging him with book ideas. They would always tell him “I did the hard part in coming up with the idea, all you have to do is write it!” But the ideas are the easy part, as evidenced by the masses of people who keep thrusting them on him. The hard part is actually sitting down and cranking out the product, fleshing out the characters, making the action real, revising and revising and revising until you actually have something people can read.
That’s the hard part.
Having said that, I now will do the easy part and just throw my ideas out there, secure in the knowledge that I am too lazy to actually get them done.

Rick and I have completed his winning prize for Caption Contest 15, “Emissary”. The description Rick sent me was:
[T]his is a future alternate reality version of a hero I created. His right hand is a conduit for a destructive form of energy. The use of this energy corrupts his mind and body each time he uses it. In his heroic version he avoids using it at all costs. In this version, tragedy has driven him to give in to it and become the Emissary. I see him in flight with an arrogant pose, looking down on the world or just above a crowd of people. I kind of had the final version of “Micheal” from the Korvac Saga in The Avenger in mind when creating him if that helps.
He attached a HeroMachine image he’d created:
