Participants in this contest are going to learn what's so hard about being a stand-up comedian.
Entries must feature no more and no less than one character. This character may appear as many times as you like, and you may represent him/her/it using as many different poses, or even different stripcreator-characters, as you want. As long as it's reasonably self-evident that, in terms of the plot, there is exactly one character in your strip, you can do whatever you like with the background and character graphics.
That includes using as many additional items from the "props" category as you want, as long as they don't talk (or otherwise display evidence of consciousness). It's okay if you also use something from "props" to represent your one character.
Your character can talk about, at, to, near, and a whole bunch of other prepositions except for "with", anyone or anything else, as long as they don't talk back, and nothing else talks through them.
If you have to ask whether you're breaking the rules, you probably are.
There are probably a lot of old strips that fit these rules, so to prevent the contest from being flooded with material we've already seen, I'm going to require that strips be dated 8-19-02 or later.
Multiple entries are welcomed. You can write series too; however, each comic will be judged individually, and only one strip will be selected as the winner. It just seems more in the spirit of the contest that way.
You have approximately three days to make me laugh. The deadline is 1:00 Thursday afternoon, Stripcreator time, and judging will take place within a couple of hours.
One character. Got it?
Good luck!
