Sorry for the delay, folks. Here's the template for the Sixth Begin This Comic contest.

Third panel must stay the same. Both characters must be included in at least one of the first two panels, and should be together in at least one.

Judging will be next Saturday, 5 June, probably sometime in the evening. Co-Judges will be ClashTheStampede and a second Co-Judge to be announced. Majority decisions preferred, but in case of a tie, original judge gets the tie-breaking vote.

The "mystery judge" was InterlockingMan.

First of all, a special honour, Most Creative Use of Rules, goes to Kevin_Keegans_Perm for the following comic:

(The official rules were that both characters had to appear together in at least one previous pannel. Kevin_Keegans_Perm did so if the background is considered a character. That was clever.)

Other honours:
The KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) Award goes to Rabid_Weasel.
The Best Title Award to biped for "Squirrel, Interrupted".

But enough of that, I'm sure you all want to know who the winner was. With no further ado, then:

maddog00 gets third-place for this comic:

Coming in second was sabuwolf, with:

sabuwolf also gets the Geek Trivia Award for referencing the Storied Fate of 5 million Atari Cartridges.

The winner, however, garnering 67% of the judges' votes, was biped's entry:

So congratulations, biped, the torch is passed into thine hands.
