CC 58: Pick your poison...

[list=1][*]Make a comic conforming to at least one of the following three rules:
[list=a][*]Use no characters or props (exception: the height props may be used).
[*]Use no dialogue. Only thought bubbles and/or narration may be used.
[*]Make the comic progress in reverse chronological order, sorta like in "Memento."* This does not mean 'write a normal comic backwards.' Rather, the action should progress in reverse chronological order from one panel to the next.

NOTE: Bonus points will be awarded for combining 2 of the rules into one comic. Big bonus points will be awarded if you can use all 3 in one comic. Keep in mind, however, that the point here is to be funny. A really funny comic that only follows one rule may beat a so-so comic that follows all 3.[/list=a]
[*]Any background may be used.

[*]Multiple entries are permitted.
[*]Photoshopped entries are not allowed.

[*]A winner will be selected 72 hours from now.

* I have not seen "Memento" yet. DO NOT tell me how it ends (begins?) or else I will send a singing, stripping Gabe-o-gram to your home.

Darn that funny rule; so much for my comic called "Mimento" about invisible mimes.

Oh well, I can always draw up "The Adventures of Nam Sdrawkcabcihtapelettnerapsnart".

Damn it! I was going to use that rule next time I won a contest.

...and that's why I didn't use it last time. You're more trusting than I.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

Relax guys. You'll notice that my Memento in Three Frames comic didn't spoil the secret ending that he's really a sled.

Oh.

Shit.

Notice how I goofed up the contest number in the title for uh, added comic effect! Not buying it, are you...

Here's mine... as contrived as the low-budget second sequel to a hit comedy, but here it is anyway...

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

I dont know why but that really made me laugh.

I like bunner's too much to think this has much of a chance. I actually had a similar idea, but it involved Robert Downey Junior.

Shit... You must have written some good rules, wirthling, because this contest has had some excellent strips submitted... glad I'm not judging...

Speaking of dolphins, here is a background I made tonight and sent to JohnnyBrad to be put up when his wrist feels better. I have some kind of flu thing, and although I felt like drawing something, I didn't feel up to the challenge of trying to draw an accurate caricature. Hence I made this:

Do you think there will be a demand for, say, a dolphin, a shakr, and maybe a couple of big fish as characters? I won't do them until I have done all the outstanding forum users, but I just want to see if there is any interest out there...

YES! This stuff is gold. I would love a diver or personal sub too.

"Jelly-belly gigglin, dancin and a-wigglin, honey that's the way I am!" Janice the Muppet

Nice! It properly fills a void we've got here.

My personal opinion is that among those, a shark would be great, and a generic big fish and a generic small fish would suffice (have separate images so that the small fish can be both at middle height, and near the bottom of the frame).

A diver in a big old-fashioned spherical diving helmet? Consider it done.... in a couple of weeks, maybe... It wouldn't be much use before JohnnyBrad's wrist gets better and he feels like doing all the typing involved to set up new characters and backgrounds, anyway. I have noticed that the Spankling character still hasn't turned up. Oh well...

I just realized that DexX's undersea background conforms to all of the rules of this contest (degenerately to C, but who's counting?) And if wirthling were to award the prize to it, that would surely conform to the "must be funny" rule.

Your background has my vote!

...and I didn't break rule 4! I use Corel PhotoPaint, not Adobe PhotoShop! Kewl! I'm in!

Ouch, too many exclamation marks...

I agree. There have already been a couple of "instant classics" posted and several other excellent strips. Judging this one will be difficult. Keep up the good work, all.
