Before I begin... a summary of the rules:
quote:
1) The whole joke must revolve around a warning or caution sign of some kind. It's entirely up to you what the warning is and whether the warning is the setup for the joke or the punchline itself.
2) No puns or in-jokes. No Tobor, Wirthling sucks, Dr Pedantic et al. And no smart-arse references to them, either (Yes, I read the "TABOR WILL CORNHOLE YOU" entrant a few weeks back...).
3) If you use any of DexX's art for regulars and forumusers, they can't actually be those forumusers in the gag. (Using the Wirthling head to represent DexX, though, is totally fair play).
4) Try and steer clear of jokes like those in my own comics. I want to see what makes you laugh within the rules... not what you think will make me laugh. Odds are good you'll not hit my mark if you try for that humour.
Not a requirement but it would be kinda cool... try and fit the number of this contest into the joke, too. Bonus points for it.
So, with that in mind:
[u]The Heats[/u]
1. kaufman: 'The film "Signs" as told in three panels'
2. Big Evil Dan: 'CC 135: Welcome To McDonald's, May I Take Your Lawsuit?'
3. itsclark: 'CC 135: Flyboy Physics'
4. ObiJo: 'Open Casket'
5. kaufman: 'CC 135: Cal Cut a Class'
6. boorite: 'CC 135: Vroom'
7. Namgubed: 'Latest Crop of Surgeon General Warnings'
8. ObiJo: 'Signs, signs, everwhere are signs'
These are the ones that made me laugh, whether compliant or not. Who cares, right?
[u]The Quarter Finals[/u]
1. Big Evil Dan: 'CC 135: Welcome To McDonald's, May I Take Your Lawsuit?'
2. itsclark: 'CC 135: Flyboy Physics'
3. ObiJo: 'Open Casket'
4. kaufman: 'CC 135: Cal Cut a Class'
We say goodbye to the not-so-compliant, and narrow it down to four. But we need a winner, so let's toss out some more!
[u]The Semi Finals[/u]
1. Big Evil Dan: 'CC 135: Welcome To McDonald's, May I Take Your Lawsuit?'
2. itsclark: 'CC 135: Flyboy Physics'
Which brings us to the moment of truth...
[u]The Final!!![/u]

Congratulations to Big Evil Dan. Your strip was funny as all hell to me, AND it included the number 135 for bonus points. That means you are this week's wiener, so that makes it your turn to run the next contest.
Thanks to everyone who took part... all (well most) entrants were good, and-- well, that's enough of my blather.
Bring on the fucking corpses!
