You know how sometimes it's fun when somebody starts a comic, but leaves off the last panel, and you get to finish it yourself? Well, here's your big chance to do exactly that, and have some of that fun all for yourself! Just take a look at the template below, and see how it has two beginning panels, but doesn't have an ending...notice a tingly sensation forming in the midst of your nether regions? That's FUN starting to happen!

And that's not all...the fun will be even MORE intense if you remember not to change the first two panels in any way! And photoshop? WOO-HOO! Don't get me started on how much fun THAT can be!

Hey, here's something that might be fun to read:

To whoever hosts after me:
POST THESE LINKS
AND POST THAT THE NEXT HOST SHOULD POST THESE LINKS.
... and the host after that.
HOSTS! Read this first.
Awards List (Paste at judging)

Well, that wasn't all that fun after all, was it? But here's something that's just LOADS of fun!

There's the stiff, er, victim, sir...dead as a bag full of rocks. And you say there are no signs of violence on the body? Not a scratch. But judging from his expression, something unbearably horrible must've happened. Damn...what could've been bad enough to make him drop dead like that?

OH MY GOD!!! IT'S AS THOUGH PULSATING WAVES OF PURE FUN WERE SHOOTING RIGHT OUT OF MY DICK!!! YAY!!!

Let's hurry up and get started so the fun can begin and I can judge this contest in about a week or so! And don't forget to have FUN!!! FUN!!! FUN!!!

Or I'll shoot this little girl.

So I can photoshop it.

I download the separate elements and assemble them in paintbox. That's how Ben Gazzara or Robert Loggia would do it.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

I've got an even better idea... someone could take a screen capture of the template, post it here as a .jpg, then everyone could use it as they please as a photoshop / paintbox template. That's how Theodore Geizel or Maarten t'Hart would have done it. I assume that Issei Sagawa would do something similar.
