And that saves me from having to cast the tiebraking vote, and gives crabby the win.
SEMIFINAL ROUND 1: jes_lawson vs. CrunchyCheese
More rules = more fun.
RULE 1 (from dcomposed) - I'm not going to be eliminated, so having a rule would be pointless. (in the unlikely event that I am eliminated, the comic must be about batman, gravy, and clowns (not the joker) all the same time. Also all characters must use gangsta terms while rapping (which is what they will be doing through the whole comic).
RULE 2 (from kramer_vs_kramer) - All text spoken by one character in the strip, who must appear in at least two frames, just be fed through an online translator (i.e. Babelfish) and translated from english, to a foreign language, to a different foreign language, back to english.
RULE 3 (from not_Scyess) - Your comic must be funny when read from panel 1 to panel 3, but also from panel 3 to panel 1. And you must write it standing on your head while naked. (I'll take their word on that last part.)
Good luck, folks. It looks like you're going to need it.
