The triumphant return! For those of you who haven't played this game before (and it's been a long time since we've had one), this can be a lot of fun, or just another excuse to make some lousy comics. The rules are simple.

I've come up with ten rules that a comic must follow. They may refer to the characters the narration, the plot, whatever. Your mission is to figure out what the ten rules are, and to prove your competance by making an original comic that complies with all ten. I'll help you out in two ways: (1) By submitting a few comics and telling you which rules they do or do not adhere to, and (2) By reading the comics you submit to this thread, and telling you which rules they do or do not follow. There is no limit on the number of times you may submit comics for my analysis.

So, without any further ado, here we go.

This comic follows Rules 1-5, but does not follow Rules 6-10:

Adjust Desserts by kaufman 3-10-05

Bobby is going to be so happy. I cooked him a killer bee souffle for his birthday. I won't ruin the surprise. I can't wait to see his face when you bring out the dessert. It seems that I had too much to eat already. I have no room for dessert. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to set the killer bees free then. Fly away to Africa! You're free at last. It's too far. I think I'll swim.

This comic follows Rules 6-10, but does not follow Rules 1-5:

Shall We Say Baskin Robins? by kaufman 3-10-05

I'll see you later, Polly. I'm off to do some errands. Oh sure! Just take off and explore the world while I'm stuck in this cage! I see where we stand, you and I. ALL HAIL THE TYRANT GRANNY! OUR WICKED DESPOT! Well, I suppose I could stay home but then I can't buy you any ice cream. Is that what you want? Depends. Can we get Rocky Road? How about Peanut Butter Fudge Almond? Sold!

This comic follows Rules 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, but does not follow Rules 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10:

Spook the Spook by kaufman 3-10-05

That mummy just ran out of that building like he was utterly terrified. I wonder what could scare him like that. The best part of being a ghost is the sensation you get when passing through walls. Now what's on the other side? Ah, Wal-Mart. Please, please. Don't so much as think of looking at me.

This comic follows Rules 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, but does not follow Rules 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9:

A Big Sale by kaufman 3-10-05

Hi there. You may know us from the "sucky sucky" comics, but today we have a special offer for you. Yes, you can buy a ten-sucky-sucky coupon set for just $49.95, and we'll throw in your choice of these free gifts: An asiangirls raincoat, a feetforears nightlight, or a play money $5 bill with Brad's picture on the front. Or you can choose a slightly soiled biscuit or an atlas of Wales donated and autographed by Bazilla. They're not ordering. Are they? You told me this would work. You said they'd be selling like hotcakes. You took me off the street where I could be earning a fortune for this? I hate you!

And this abomination fails to follow any of the ten rules!

Small Fry by kaufman 3-10-05

Where are you going, Michael? To Mercury. I need to buy a few tons of dilithium. Can I come along? Only if you promise not to speak. Over on Mercury... Why is your sister convulsing like that? Probably because she didn't have a spacesuit.

Okay, I'll take a wild shot at it.

His Final Hour by biped 3-12-05

I'm confused. Are we going to invade the Earth, Mr. Stinky Butt? No, just Scotland! How does that grab ya, fruitcake? Well, I...where'd he go? He had to leave. I'm taking over for him in this panel. Hope that suits you. If not, tough Twinkies, fruitcake! Okay, well... holy jizz turrets! I've turned into a coyote? Sure, you always switch bodies with a coyote when you die. Now follow me... I'll take you to your grave.

Kaufman, do I have at least one number right? by attitudechicka 1-04-07

Do you remember starting this contest about a year ago? No, not really. I think some of the rules may no longer be useable due to recent changes to stripcreator. Nevertheless, I think I have at least ONE rule figured out. Possibly two, depending on if Kaufman actually remembers the rules. I'm not a rule.

Mediocrity at its most average.

Maybe if we figure out all the rules, he'll come back.

What Are The Rules? (come back kaufman) by umfumdisi 1-04-07

Eat thou this blood pudding in remembrance of me. Ugh, I can't stand the cite of blood pudding. Can we get some Cherry Garcia, instead? It is me, Jesus! It makes me sick the way you treat us like...sheep. Yeah, I said it! Screw you, crossboy. I'm going back to Europe. Over in Europe... Now get thee down to the water, my son, and I will baptize ye in the name of my father. Forget it, Jesus, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
