This idea may have been used before by someone else, but just think of how easy that would be to totally disregard.

All you have to do is post a comic that someone else has done, and continue it into a series of five or less (including the original comic). However --

The comic you use must be chosen by using the random button at the top of the page. Just in case you happen to get a real dud on your first try, you may hit the random button up to five times, and use one of those five. It can't be one of yours, and it can't already be part of a series, so if you get one of those it won't count as one of your five choices. But if you do use a really crappy comic you will get extra points for taking on a greater challenge.

It sounds like fun to me! I hope it sounds like fun to you. I have already presented this idea to a carefully-chosen test audience, and here is the actual reaction:

I will judge this contest after one week or one-hundred entries, whichever comes first.

I loved this little idea, seeing as I make up most of my stuff on the spot as it is and I haven't slept in three days.

This series will read to Fins like "all your base are belong to us" times a thousand. Sadly, BabelFish doesn't do the language, so I had to do it one word at a time. Fortunately, actual Fins would be so pissed off by the content they probably wouldn't think to yell at me for butchering their language (:

Biped, please extend the contest beyond one week. There are too many great entries coming in.

Okay. The first page is taking so long to load on my computer, I'm only going to judge the second page anyway.

But your series made it all worth it. And now that a few others have been posted, I feel free to dip in again!

This was a very hard contest to judge! I enjoyed reading all of the comics. They were all very good. In fact, many of them were great!

Excuse me for a moment...

Okay, I'm back. Well anyway, it was darn near impossible to pick one winner out of this bunch. There were so many wonderful entries, such as:

mmyers "Wok", "How much is that demon doll in the window?"
Friendly "Delete It"
boinky33 "Some comics are born unfunny"
SpideyChris "Is it the end?"
Scyess "Hubert", "Death Meets His Match"
kaufman "Abdul", "Ervin Gives Herb Back His Sword", "Jurassic Corporate Park"

I'm not even going to try to put those in order of importance or anything. I just can't muster a sufficient amount of subjectivity right now. And don't feel bad if I didn't mention your comics. My list just kept getting longer and longer and I had to prune it considerably.

So, here's the SECOND PLACE winner:

niteowl for the delirious "Randomness" series.

And here is the FIRST PLACE winner:

ArtemisStrong for the mind-numbing "I Smell Like Cheese."

This has been a wonderful contest. Thank you all for entering.
