Wow. Well, I'm still in shock that I actually won the last comp.

Anyway, the theme for this one is incorporating at least two of the following topical news stories in to one strip (however the more stories you're able to combine in one strip seamlessly, the better your chances are of winning ;).

1. Telemarketing

2. The California recall and election of Schwarzenegger.

3. Iraq war.

4. CIA source leak.

5. Kobe Bryant case.

6. The what-if scenario of the Cubs facing off against the Red Sox in the World Series.

7. Hurricane Isabella.

8. The big Blackout over the summer.

There will be bonus points if Dr. Pedantic is revealed to be the mastermind behind at least one of these occurances.

No archived strips allowed. Judging will be on Wednesday afternoon. Good luck!

ObiJo, crabby and others... guys just a reminder that for a strip to qualify it needs two or more news stories in it. I'm seeing some funny ass strips here though, so keep it up.

Dammit, I forgot that you had to have two of the news stories.. so.. uh.. .. . I have an even less chance of winning than ever before.

Not only that, I put CC 125 INSTEAD AGHGGHGH.

damn. i forgot you had to have two news stories too. oh well i like this strip so im putting it up anyway. haha. i will probably put another one up that actually conforms to the rules though.

It's grime time.

Even worse, it's not really CC 125 compliant.

~But now you realize / He's not selling any alibis~

If we make a series, do all of them have to comply with the rules?

If you're asking if every individual strip in the series must comply with the rules, then yes.
