"Instructions:
The Judges will give you a topic or an idea and you need to make a comic about it. You'll be marked on:

Joke - The funnier the better. (?/5)
Art - The less I want to gouge my eyes out the better. (?/5)
Creativity/Predictability - If it's the first panel and I guess the punchline, good luck next time. (?/5)"

36 hours to make 3 comics from when I say go. Marked out of 15 for each comic. If you only make 1 or 2, too bad. you can get marked on those two and lose 15 points for the other one.

Ok...These are the rules for the last one so I think they're pretty good, it just failed cos of TOs...hopefully I wont get any and this will work cos its a cool idea.

I would like 16 comic makers and I want to be one of them.

I would also like a panel of 5 Judges. People who are good at critique but dont wanna make comics.

Comic Makers: -
1.C00P_88Done
2.KevoskDone
3.StealthPrawnDone
4.FarOut
5.MistyOut
6.TheHipOrangePlatypusSilo Out
7.SavarilDone
8.RelapsDone
9.IAteYourPetDone
10.UberMegatronDone
11.UrsernameDone
12.Hats Of!Done
13.I SmellNone as Yet
14.nVmDone
15.High6None as Yet
16.LagDone

Judges: -
1.Rebecca.Out
2.Lissa
3.PyroOwen
4.JohnnyJohnson
5.Mr Anorexia

Its now 3:45pm where I am so you have until Noon tomorrow to sign up. Do it in the thread and the first 15 people to say "Im In" are the comic makers and if you wanna judge say "Im a Judge" First 5 are it.

Any ideas and suggestions can be done through PM cos otherwise it'll be too much.

So....sign up!!

The first stage shouldn't be themed so we get a general idea of art, jokes, and originality. Themes should be chosen in the next stages.

I agree with Pyro that the first round shouldn't have a theme. I'm sorry, but just because you aren't creative enough to come up with your own material doesn't mean we need to compensate for it.

It's her contest and if she wants a theme she can have one. Either way if there isn't a theme I won't be participating.

I think that only the first round shouldn't have a theme so the focus is more on the art & having a creative joke so only the best can move on to the next round. The second two rounds would have themes.

I don't have time to think of three good comics in one day all by myself. So if we aren't going to have a theme for any of them, count me out.

I think the opposite.

I believe there should be themes, and maybe near the end it should be freestyle. That way, the best up to then really have to work to make it funny.

You can have my spot if you like Mr Anorexia. I don't really think i'm as interested now as I was originally. If its cool with C00P, that is.

Are the comics supposed to be in a C&H-ish style?

Themes to start off, and since you go along you'll probably get a few good ideas that would be cut due to theme restrictions, so yes. I see it as coming out well.

Also, that was me posting as GoM.

I say stop arguing about the themes and just choose them, already.

But NVM had a good question: is it C&H style?
