I'm of the opinion that some of the better comics come from a strange combination of rules, so here's what you all have to work with in this contest!

1. Gender confusion: Someone (or multiple someones) in your comic must be confused about their own (or someone else's) gender.

2. Am I the only one here who thinks the DexX dragon looks strung out on pot? Use the DexX dragon in your comic at least once, and play up the druggie angle.

3. Mention the name of at least one of the following musical artists...

Amorphis
Sir Mix a'Lot
P.J. Harvey
Left Hand Solution

4. Do your best to make this one a twisted comic. The more twisted, the better.

Have at it, strippers!!! Judging will be early on Sunday morning (between 1am - 4am)

Nope, you're mistaken. "Amorphis" is the name of a band from Finland. I also know that the regular spelling is "amorphous," but considering that these guys *are* from Finland, they probably have a different way of spelling the word.

gabe_billings July 19, 2001 4:43 PM	I think you meant a-morpheus. That guy with the long-ass trenchcoat and the funky sunglasses you don't need ears to use that gives you funny colored pills and then jumps around real slow and shit and beats the crap out of Keanu Reeves.

New optional rule: The druggie dragon can be called Gabe at your discression. He sounds like he's been popping a few too many red and blue pills.

(Or if nothing else has been watching a certain movie lately)

No, you didn't, so the figure you have arrived at is obviously unreliable. rolls eyes

Sho nuff, here are the kind of lyrics you write when you are in Finland:

The mountains of north
shall erupt and flames
of darkland will rise

Hail to one who hails
Blood for one who bleeds

O you mistress of northland
queen of darkland
I may wash my hand of
the evil master's Blood

For that is no man's doom
which I bring
that is child's doom
and it shall be the First Doom

........'cause you light up my life

Oh it's all in fun, Boorite.

Heh, you could have found worse if you'd gone back to any of the albums before "Tales..." though. *chuckles*

I didn't actually expect anyone to dig up their lyrics, I was just throwing out band names that might work well in the comic... But I guess I've now been exposed as the metalhead that I am.

boorite July 20, 2001 10:09 AM	You're right, Drexle. Amorphis's new stuff is way more bouncy. When I'm feeling down, I just put on "Goddess of the Sad Man," "Shattered Within," or "Grieve Stricken Heart," and in no time I have the energy I need to pick myself up and hurl myself off the balcony!

Okay, this really came down to three entrants:

Gabe, with his uncanny ability to play up to all the rules and be incredibly funny.

LadyJ, with her deliciously twisted aching uterus.

Nasty Pope, for not only using the names of every band listed, but putting it into the Dragon Riders of Pern setting.

I wish I could just give them all the win, but alas that cannot be. So therefore, your one and only winner of CC46...

LadyJ!

Aching uterii beat out itching nuts in my book, and even though the solliloquy in Nasty Pope's comic was brilliant, the Dragon's response just sort of left me flat, and the overall twistedness of his comic wasn't as high up there as the other two.

Honorable mention goes to Descolada for the "You can't get sprung!" line, and for the first comic that *really* made me laugh in the contest.

Spankling, you may have been the first, but you were far from the worst. You need to get on the ball, man... you're losing it.

So anyway, we await CC47 with midol in hand!
