Caption Contest 37: A Thanksgiving pie of … ?

I don't know what's going on in this panel, but someone is sure excited about it.

Come up with the best dialog for the missing balloon and you'll win your very own custom black and white illustration of whatever you like from professional drawing-type-person, Jeff Hebert! With Thanksgiving this week, I thought this was an appropriately warm domestic scene to throw at you, so we can then proceed to defile it with our juvenile, biting, sarcastic, and probably disgusting humor. Good times!

As always, no more than three entries, left in the comments to this post, and keep it relatively clean. Good luck everyone!

META: Contact form working again

Apparently the Contact Form page has been broken since the site went down last month. Oops! Furthermore it turns out the old contact form is what broke the site in the first place, and when I tried to put it back just now, it broke the site again. How rude! So I slapped a handle on it and toted it off, just a like a cabbage (or a man, as if there's a difference), replacing it with a different, less pretty but more functional, form. It appears to now be working.

My apologies for the aggravation.

Poll Position: HULK SMASH!

The "Rogue Superman" question seemed to go over, so we'll jump to the other side of the Comic Book Publishing world and pose the same question about another high-powered fellow:

Discussion after the jump.

Warrior update

I'm not able to post it, but I have taken your suggestions to heart and made a change to the Warrior Mini code base (which will also work for the Horror Mini and HM3). The "Dupe" setting is now slot-specific instead of being global. In other words, you can have "Body" and "LeftHand" set to Dupe, "LeftItem" and "Belt" set to No Dupe, and those settings will stay as you switch around to the different slots.

I also updated the code for the Preview section, so the previous button actually goes back one screen instead of going to the Next screen. I've got a slider button in there too that changes size and position based on the number of screens in that slot's Previews so you have a better idea of which set of items you're considering:

Not sure if those updates will make it to the launch version, though I certainly hope they do. I kind of missed the "final code deadline", but if we're lucky UGO will slip them in anyway.

Random Panel: I don't think that qualifies as a super power, necessarily

Galactic vampires go GLOMP?

We all realize that onomontoPOWia is an inexact art at best. Who knows, after all, what sound interdimensional demons from Hell really make when they vomit spells into the Devil's face? Not you, me, or Jackson Guice, that's for sure. You just try to pay attention to other, hopefully similar sounds, translate them into words, and give it your best shot.

Having said that, I'm pretty sure that when a furry gay bondage galactic vampire bites through a cosmic-ray-altered muscle-bound, orange-rock-skinned Thing, it doesn't go "GLOMP":

Surely there'd be some sort of K type sound of a crunchy exterior giving way to the soft, gooshy Thing-goo inside, no? But maybe GLOMP is how it sounds when the Thing gets a hickey, I don't know, and the thought that maybe Jim Starlin does know frankly disturbs me.

Just to be on the safe side, I think I'll do my best to avoid both space-going galactic vampires and rock-skinned stud muffins, even if they do have gorgeous baby-blue eyes.
