Caption Contest 43: On being cordial

Posted on January 6, 2009 by AFDStudios | Comments Off

We haven't had a two-balloon contest in quite a while, so I thought I'd give it a go with this beauty from the pages of "Justice League International":

If you come up with the best dialog for these two costumed crusaders, you'll win your very own custom black and white illustration of whatever you like (within reason), just like these folks did! Just leave your entry (no more than three total, and try to keep them PG-13 or cleaner, please) in the comments to this post, like this:

Green Lantern: I never liked you.
Batman: Ditto. Also your ring just ran out of its 24 hour limit, and you've got an exploding Batarang in your shorts.

Good luck everyone! I'll select and announce the winner next Tuesday, so put on those Funny Caps and get busy!

Contest 42 Winner

Posted on January 6, 2009 by AFDStudios | Comments Off

The winner of the HeroMachine Caption Contest 42 is ... Ian!

The whole thing tickles my brain in a weird way, from the nonsense of the actual sentence to the look on Thor's face. I imagine him being all "whaa-hunhn?!" Plus the combination of leather and lemon cookies is just perfect with the long flowing blond hair. Well done, Ian!

The other Honorable Mentions from this week in my humble opinion were:

Runt82: You know the Kama Sutra? They had to write an entirely new chapter because of me.
The Doomed Pixel: Wait…That’s not the Heimlich…
Ian: Mmmmm…you smell like leather and lemon cookies!
The Imp: Lemme show you why they call me ‘Mr. Fantastic’…
Ballin' Boy: Giddy up!
Neil Leslie: Hello there, Thor. Let me tell you about my stimulus package.

Neil Leslie's in particular was very timely, and now every time I watch the news and hear that phrase I'm going to get the willies. Thanks for that mental image, Neil.

Many thanks to everyone who entered! Ian and I will be talking about what he'd like for his prize, and we'll be sure to share it with you once we're done.

META: Ice outage

Posted on January 6, 2009 by AFDStudios | Comments Off

Texans don't like ice, and neither does our internet equipment. I've been forcibly offline the last two days due to a "wintery mix" that sheathed my wireless broadband antenna with ice, hence the lack of posting. My apologies, but I should be back to normal now.

Well, you know, as normal as I get, anyway.

Given the illustrator, it's hard to tell exactly what's going on here, but regardless I hope that "WHANK" is really, really, really NOT the appropriate sound effect:
