I was thinking about the how we pick the contestents and so forth. I think anyone who serves as a judge in a previous cup gets first dibs on being in the next one. Next priority would be those who lost first round, then those who lost the second round, etc. It should give a greater opportunity to let a larger amount of people to participate more often.

Just a thought

At least im still funny .....looking. http://www.carrionfields.com

well lets face it if we had 1 more person we would have the full 16 for an extra round meaning the numbers would be helluva cool

those that didnt got knocked out after round 1 could contribute to the final rules etc etc

and those that lost in round 1 will be mocked shamelessly

the the rule numers would flow better too, booyeah

Round 1: Spankling vs DH-01

This first round will see Spankling defends his 0-2 losing streak against Comic Cup newcomer DH-01 in what promises to be an interesting match. You only have two rules.

1) Someone in the comic must sacrifice or lose a left nut for some reason.

2) Fill in the leftmost panel, and press the "Clone Panel" button. Make sure the comic makes a modicum of sense, and make sure above all that it's funny.

You both have 48 hours to post your entries. After the entries are posted, the judges have another 48 hours to vote. (Since some of you judges may have schedules that only allow you to check the board on weekdays, I'm giving you 48 hours this round. Expect future rounds to adhere to a 24 hour voting time limit.)

Good luck both of you!

We must clone speech bubbles too? No change at all?

No change at all.

Also, that rule about the nut... that doesn't have to be in the present tense. It can be in the past as well. Just as long as a nut was lost somewhere along the line and that your comic makes note of the fact in some way.

For shame, Drexle, the left nut rule was from our final round in the 2nd comic cup, come up with a new one. It is only the first round after all, you can't be out of ideas yet. ;-)

That's part of the plan, you see... There were 6 rules in our finals... and there are six rounds until this contests's finals. I intend to disperse all six of those rules through this Cup's Quarterfinals and Semifinals.

You couldn't have made it a right nut? Or a foreskin? Or an ovary?

Hey, as long as a left nut is included I don't care what else they lose.

Hmmm... do I have to prove it can be done?

I'm sure ol' Clango has about 200 or so nuts... and bolts... to spare.

I can think of a Character that has more than that many. And that's not even counting Cthulhu.

The only problem is that I hear they use TOBOR as the delivery-bot. He'll give you a nut alright...

Sorry for lateness. Work sucks. =P

Are we voting here or by email?

I think only the finals is by emails.

I'm gonna have to give my vote to spankling. I thought his worked better with the clone panel button.
I'm sure that was a hard one for both of them cause that clone panel rule must have been a bitch to work with.

Just vote here as always.

My vote is for DH-01. It was the only one that made me laugh. In Spankling's favor, his worked better with the Clone Panel requirement, and I also appreciated that it was more tasteful. When I did a practice strip by these rules, I also used Clango, and the nut he lost was of the nut and bolt variety. I won't post it here, but you can view it if you follow the link to my comics.
