Yes, I realize this was a hard contest. I was interested who would rise to the challenge.
I see most people chose to avoid this rule. Unfortunately, none of the non-compliant strips were really side-splittingly funny enough to make me want to ignore it, although there were some good ones.
Some of the non-compliant strips I liked were
Bargaintuan: "A Letter from Satan"
boinky33: "something you wouldn't want to see out your window"
boinky33: "Don't stare at boobies too long or......"
boinky33: "UNDER WATER COWBOYS"
shlimple: "Old man and bench"
shlimple: "explode"
Kajun Firefly: "Monopoly"
Zegota: "Staring Contest"
And yes, boinky, I did recognize that "!!!!!......!!!!!!......!!!!!!!" is ripped off from "CCIX # 5"
Bargaintuan: I did a comic just like "Just Drink, Already!". We actually started a thread in RMDC where people expanded on the idea here.
There were six compliant entries that I considered for winning, and they were:
"Speechless" by Big Evil Dan
"Department of Haiku Security" by kaufman
"Hell's Work: vr 0000006 for cc 176" by LordVido
The last three were really hard to decide on, since they were all really good.

One day Gregor Samsa woke up to discover he'd become a giant insect.
|
|
|
 |
 | |  |
| Aah! Aah! Aah! Oh wait, that's me. Aah! Aah! Aah! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
The next week however Gregor Samsa woke to discover he had become a clown.
|
|
|
 |
 | |  |
| Aah! Aah! Aah! Dear god will it never end? Aah! Aah! Aah! | |

| Ha ha ha! With my drunken ramblings I'll torture high school students for years! | |

..but in the end, I had to go with my gut reaction which was to declare this comic the
WINNER
|
|
Every night young donkeys nationwide are terrorizing the streets of the cities.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
It doesn't have to be this way. These donkeys need you to recycle your beer bottles and send the money to the National Donkey Association so that they too can have a place to go.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
So please, the next time you're thinking of staying sober, remember the donkeys who need that playground your beer bottle money will help pay for. You'd get trashed for the donkeys, wouldn't you?

ahrange, the next contest is all yours.
