A bit later in the day, but I am happy to announce that the winner of Caption Contest 14 is ... Jester!

It's always a good sign when I laugh out loud again while posting the winner, even though I've already read it six times. Nice job, Jester! I'll be in touch shortly to start work on your prize.

Other honorable mentions were:

"DECAF!" - Doomed Pixel

"I got your nose!" Ashton Thomas

“No, really, I’m a licensed chiropractor! All you need is a slight adjust–Oops!” - Niall Mor

If you want a chance to win your own custom black and white illustration of whatever you like, keep your eyes on this site for Caption Contest 15, coming up momentarily!

The winner of Caption Contest 13 is ... DerKork! Here's the panel with that bit of wittery included:

Many thanks for all the fine entries, this was one of the best sets yet! Among the honorable mentions were:

Niall Mor:

Balloon 1: “Floyd, when we said you should relax a little and let it all hang out, this is NOT what we meant!”
Balloon 2: “Seriously!”

Frankie:

Lady one: “Oh, him? That’s just my brother. He has the ability to hover about five feet or so over the ground. But he says he can only do it while naked and meditating.”
Lady two: “I see…He dosn’t go out and try to fight crime, does he?”

Elder:

Balloon 1: “Where did you get him?”
Balloon 2: “I made him in Heromachine 11.4″

Thanks to everyone who entered! I'll be trying to get with DerKork to work out the prize. And keep an eye out for Caption Contest 14, coming up later today, for your chance to win your very own custom black and white illustration of whatever you like (within reason)!

And the winner of Caption Contest 12 is ... xStacy! I always love a good famous-artist reference, and this one made me literally laugh out loud. Well done! Here's the revised panel:

Many thanks to everyone who entered, and best of luck next time.

The winner of the HeroMachine Caption Contest 11 is ... Frankie!

I unfortunately had to edit the final balloon a fair bit, as there was no way to fit the original phrasing into the space allotted. Please check the original comment thread for the full wording. Frankie will win a custom black and white illustration of whatever he or she wants, within reason, which I'll be posting once it's done. I'm a bit behind with last week's winner, but should catch up in the next day or two.

Thanks to everyone who entered!

The winner of Caption Contest 10 is ... The Grizz!

Many thanks to all entrants, this was a pretty good bunch. Here are some of the other ones that made me laugh:

Top Balloon- Well, at first I thought Hell was going to be awful.
Bottom Balloon- However, I didn’t count on Rasputin to be such a good baker. Cyanide cookies are a lot more tasty than they sound.

top: aaw man!
BOTTOM: Is it always like this in here after burrito night?

top bubble-Odious Kamodius?
bottom bubble- Rhyming in hell? Is this, Dr. Suess’s “you only go to hell once?”

Top Balloon: “Holy Slanted Floors!”
Bottom Balloon: “Who knew Hell was constructed from old Batman TV series sets?!”

By the way, BrokenSlot never got back to me about his prize for Caption Contest 9. If anyone knows him or her, please pass the word to get in touch with me. Thanks!

The winner of Caption Contest 9 is ... BrokenSlot!

Many thanks to everyone who entered, I think this was probably the most challenging one to come up with something creative for so far. I think it was the mention of "Scrabble" that did it for me, I love that game. Other honorable mentions include:

Panel 1: “Legs”, what is this supposed to mean?!
Panel 2: The dog wanted to let you know that Angelina Jolie is behind you, but there was only so much room on the paper.

First Balloon: “Sweet suffering sherbert slices of sick psychopaths!!! Is that what I think it is?!”
Second Balloon: Yes! what Duke is holding IS the secret ingredient to my world famous baked beans! LEGS! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

1: hey look spots found the wining lotto ticket !
2: Sqweeeeeeeee !!! we can buy faces now!

Keep an eye out for the next caption contest, and your chance to win your very own custom black and white illustration!

The winner of Caption Contest 8 is ... Coyote!

I always was a sucker for that scene in "Wrath of Khan." Coyote has won a custom black and white illustration of his or her choice, drawn by yours truly. Thanks to everyone who entered; here are a couple of my favorite other entries:

First: The time is now…
Second: IMA CHARGIN’ MAH JACKHAMMAH!

I thought I was clicking on porn…
…but I got Rick-rolled!

Top Balloon: Just because I have this stinkin’ eyepatch, everyone thinks I’m a pirate: Captain Hook, Long John, Blackbead, Abraham Lincoln…
Bottom Balloon: MY NAME IS GREG!!!

If you want to win your very own professional custom illustration, keep an eye out for Caption Contest 9!

The winner of Caption Contest 7 is ... Ashton Jakobson's not-so-jolly Green Giant!

I think what really sold this one was how much the guy over the green dude's shoulder really does look like he's taking a bite. Ashton will win a custom black and white illustration of his choice by yours truly. Many thanks to all of the entrants, it was an impressive showing. Some of the Honorable Mentions that made me laugh were:

1. “This isn’t like the Axe commercials at all!!”
2. Green Guy: Go to the Emerald City they said. See the wizard they said. Damn munchkins…
3. Barbarian repellent my keister!

Great work everyone!

Congratulations to Count Libido, the winner of Caption Contest 6! Here's his entry:

This is the second Mentos reference made on this blog, apparently I have a weakness for the stuff even though I've never had one. Strange. Anyway, I'll be working with the good Count this week on his custom illustration. Look for your chance to win your very own black and white custom drawing by yours truly in the weekly HeroMachine Caption Contest!

The winning for Caption Contest 5 is ... Cameron Malcher!

Congratulations Cameron, and many thanks to all of the fine entrants.
