While I’m busy, I thought I’d keep you guys entertained with a word balloon contest. The rules are simple: I post some panels with the original caption erased and you guys think up a new one. Do this for just one panel or all of them, just number your answer accordingly so we all know which suggestion goes with which panel. Of course, coming up with several suggestions for the same panel is fine too. A week from today, June 3, I’ll pick the five I liked the best and put them up for a vote, and I will let that poll run for another week. The winner will receive a cool prize. Of course, I’ll be updating while this contest is going as well and keep a clearly visible link under the menu so you guys can still easily find this post. Have fun!

1) urk…ack…argh… okay, change of plans. No cape.
2) And now I will broadcast your moving image in high def to television sets across the world! Mwaahaahaaa!!
3) “Stand the coffin in the moonlight at midnight.” *shudder* New rule: coffee first, accept job second.
4) Two things. One. Please take this drooling little poop machine. NOW. And two, I’m swearing off sex. The consequential risks are too high.
5) “Oooga Boooga?” Seriously?

3) "He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash"
4) "Don't you know I'm catholic? I have no use for this."
5) "Yes, Pete, I see that the organic webshooters are gone. Now can you please get out? Some of us have work, friends, and a secret identity to go back to, you know?
