Guessing at rules other than #1 and #7 by DexX 7-16-02

Boring neighbourhood... Time to go find some boys. Grrr, no luck here either - no boys in the 'hood. I'm alone on the planet - heartache all over the world. Oh well... at least I got some wood. Time to learn how to whittle...

Actually, I am still not sure of the specifics of rule 7, so I may have broken it with that strip.

Yet another unfunny WatRotC strip by andydougan 7-16-02

You know the hard thing about this "What Are The Rules Of This Contest"? I think we have a more urgent problem right now. It's making rule-compliant strips that are also funny. Shit. You're not listening to me, old man! So sue me.

At least I hope so.

If the above complies with #2, making these strips will be a lot easier.

I'm guessing your compliance with 9 was accidental. You're also fine with 7, which really doesn't leave any room for argument. Unlike some of the other rules, this one is easily measured.

Inane Conversations #9 by andydougan 7-16-02

Did they name the colour orange after the fruit, or the fruit after the colour? Dunno. The smart money is on the colour, I'd say. What about "fly"? Which came first, the insect or the thing it does? Hey, Candi Essex, is this really a relevant conversation to be having in #teensex? Candi E...oh yeah, that's right. Candi Essex.

Rules Contest #8: Rock Stupid by itsclark 7-16-02

Right, kid. I'd love to offer you a contract, but the market for 80's hair-band covers is inexpicably slow this year. Candi-o! I need you so! Sorry, man. But if I let you play my club I'll lose the whole biker-bar vibe, you know? My mazzarati does 185... I don't want to hurt you, man! I just want your axe and mine to have a little heart-to-heart chat. Never!

Not an entry. by itsclark 7-16-02

What are you doing? I've been trying to win this comic contest for days. Is this that contest where you have to figure out the rules? Right. So far I've figured out that you need to include the name of a village in Guam, a background whose colors approximate a famous Van Gogh, and a character named after a Fortune 500 CEO. Sorry, I wasn't listening. But I just figured out 8 of the 10 rules, if you're interested. Kaufman, you ever hear of knocking before entering a room?

Not an entry.

Son of a crap. You mean to tell me there are five rules about characters? I had almost convinced myself there weren't any.

Well, here's a stab at a couple more. 2 and 5, I should imagine.

Rules Contest 8: My vacation with Godzilla by evil_d 7-18-02

Oh, look, here's a slide of when we went to Chicago. And here's one of the aftermath. How many cities did you destroy on this trip, anyway? Seven. Oh hell, don't tell me you wrecked the Grand Canyon too.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

I still don't understand rule 7. Perhaps this will help, but I doubt it.

WatRotC8 - I'm stuck by andydougan 7-18-02

Following the IRA's apology for killing civilians who somehow got in the way of bombs planted to kill them, world leaders decide to be buds. From Washington... Saddam, let's share a whore. Or two, or three, or maybe even more! Could you start selling me mustard gas again, then? I have Kurds in my way. ...to Jerusalem... Yasser, me old mucker, I only occupied Palestinian territories because of a repressed desire to have sex with you. Let's see what's under that towel! Akbar! ...to London. Hmm. I don't really have any enemies to make up with. Maggie? Hey, I've always been on your side, Tony! Pass the gin, will you?

The First Panel is a Red Herring by ObiJo 7-19-02

Seen Spiderman yet? I went all by myself. I've got 3 nuts for you, little elephant. Beat it, or I'll bite your ankles. Then the squirrel pulled a terminator on gabe's ass and drove his Nova through his front window. Doh!

Sorry I'm not participating much. Some bloked mailed me a free computer game, and it is eating my soul (in a good way).

I'm sending him some tinned wombat by way of a thank you.

You've got the spirit of 5, but the actual rule is specific enough to exclude your choice.

Like several others before you, your comic has 2/3rds of the requirement for rule 10.

The Annexation of Morticia by Systema 7-23-02

Oh Lord! If only I had remembered to shave my Mountain dew this morning! I... am Sancho. I was raised in a giant sombrero. The stock market's on the rise again. I bought half of it for only $6 the other day. My, my. My gandma is sick. Watch me as flip out this crazy somersault, cap'n. Yeah, so I concluded that I really didn't know a thing about video cards and set him on his way.

That first comic I did was based only off your 2 Follows-All-10-Rules strips. I haven't even read the rest of the thread yet. When I do, I will enter all comic parameters and resulting responses into a modified TI-82 calculator, determine the 10 rules with an accuracy of 98.3% and then submit the winning comic.

Unless of course, you all realize the certainty of this, and declare me the winner now, freeing up my schedule for tortilla frisbee.

Uh... YOU are my blind date? Yup. I'm Wendy! Can I come in? Sure, take off your tie if you're uncomfortabe. Why are you taking me down into the cellar? Seems like a strange place to- *ACK!* Hush. *sigh* Here I am again, digging another ass hole... Does this mean you don't want to see me again?

Taking some wild guesses, but I think I have worked out four or five of them now.
