Damn, I got me left and rights mixed up, I meant left character must say more than 10 words.

No no no no no. Look, it's so damn obvious. You're going to be kicking youself when you find out what it is.

I felt certain about that green one:

There must be black somewhere

Dr. Who, Potter, there must be some sort of name?

Fraid you're way off with all of those.

Breakdown for the remaining rules:

1 rule affects the title
1 rule affects the choice of characters that may be used
3 rules affect the text boxes.

Here's what I think of the remaining rules. Rules 2, 3, and 6 are obscure, unobvious rules that one is unlikely to follow by mere chance. Although rule 9 can be followed by mere chance, there appears to be some sort of complexity to it that makes it hard to identify. Rule 10 seems to require lots of counting and advanced mathematical calculations to figure out.

On another matter, since no one guessed my name from the first clue, here is one more. This one is less obscure. It is able to stand on its own, though it also supplements the first clue.

FPD A Second Clue to My Name
Oh the irony! It follows rules 3 and 9

I haven't taken part in this contest yet but after spending some time trying to figure out the remaining rules I am stumped. Which rule applies to the title? I don't see a pattern even after checking out the web link hints. What does a green bald guy named Harry Lime have do with anything. At first I thought it had to to with bald characters, but the 'obvious clue' strip doesn't have any bald characters... unless you count the baby.

Does rule 10 have something to do with the number of lines of dialog?

Vulgarity is simply the conduct of others. -Oscar Wilde

Why, yes. Yes it does.

For everyone who still cares and hasn't taken a mad sour-grapes style fit, here's a strip for you. Fram 1 complies with rule 9. Frame 2 doesn't. The whole strip complies with rule 3. The last frame has a donkey in it.

Oh, and as for the Harry Lime clue, what film was he in?

Can't have the same people in the same pose on the same frame, you know what I mean?

Donkey Sodomy?

Something to do with that character from fightclub?

According to the Internet Movie Database, Dave Kirsch (sometimes credited as Harry Lime) has been in four movies. I haven't seen any of them, and I have never heard of Harry Lime or Dave Kirsch.

Rule 9 Hint
Rule 10 Hint

There must be an even ammount of words in the title?
There must be an even ammount of words in a dialogue box?

Young Barry is getting very close, despite being Welsh.

Rule #10: Either none or all of the dialogue boxes must have an even numbers of lines.

Same rule stated differently:

Rule #10: All the dialogue boxes must have an even number of lines, or they must all have an odd number of lines.

Rule #6 may be that the strip must describe some third-person action.

But there may be something to the rule that rules out Zoe's description of her cat running away in the first strip. I will guess that the action must be performed by someone not in the strip, and it must be of a violent nature.

I can't be arsed getting into pedantic details so:

Rule 6 One character must speak in the third person
Rule 10 All dialogue boxes must contain an even number of lines.

Rule #3: Something to do with Title count.
Rule #9: At most, only one character may raise his hands above waist level. Or maybe, only character may have a bent elbow.

Both very very close.

Just for the record, I'm not unfornuatly, actually Welsh. I'm unfornuatly English, but lucky to live in this wonderful country.

That's the equivalent of saying "Actually I'm not a necrophiliac, I'm a paedophile."

Or a coprophiliac.
