I thought of a new idea for a competition, based on the randomizer thread in comic showcase.

Let's see who can come up with the best random strip. The zanier and harder the strip is (basically the more you can still come up with a funny strip after getting screwed by the random lay-out function), the more points you're liable to get. Of course there's no real way to prove people are playing fair and pushing the random lay-out button, but it will be on the honor system and Jesus knows you're a douchebag if you cheat.

Anyone up for this? If so, judging will be a week from now.

Sigh. Even the "random comic layout" button is prejudiced.

I love the way you say no one could beat niteowl, and then come out with "prejudiced ..."

Honey, did you put up the birdhouse in the back yard yet? I'm getting to it now. I just finished putting up the squirrelhouse. Could you do the elephanthouse first? They're trampling our begonias.

Master of Suspense by kaufman 4-12-05

We've searched for hours, crossed dark forests, perilous streams, hellish swamps, and we finally found it, deep in this godforsaken no-man's-land. Buried under a clod of fetid age-old moldy dirt, guarded by a nest of hungry snakes, just one short step from a sheer cliffside that will take us straight down to the ocean far below. So, what do you suggest I do? Well, Tiger would probably fade an 8-iron, and land it smack in the middle of the green ...

Random Layout Comic - The Long Arm of the Law by Melkor 4-12-05

So... Look, officer i was just following in the tail of that thunderstorm, just plain old squall lines and supercell thunderstorm, ok? Then this warm front swoops up, dont you know? Hum, hum... And you cant expect that and not have a microscale rotating area of wind, attached to a convective cloud base and be in contact with the ground, do you? I'm sorry Mr. Tornado, but i'm still going to fine you for illegally parked house. Aw, fuck!

There was once a man who said:"nothing is true!". Although later it was found out that he was lying.

I dumb :D

Thanks for the kind words Injokester, but to be honest...I don't really think my comic is worthy. Not a whole lot of thought or hard work went into it.

Spring is in the Air by niteowl 4-12-05

Am I hearing what I think I'm hearing? Oh my God, I've been waiting for this for 6 months... THE ICE CREAM MAN IS COMING!

Well I loved it. The title made the comic, I don't know why but thinking of Jeff Goldblum eating MikeyG's turds amuses the hell out of me.

One Recent Afternoon in Central Park by kaufman 4-12-05

Yo, lady, did you see The Gates? The what? You know, The Gates. How can you miss it? There's Christo all over the place. Oh, drat. That explains it. I thought it was Crisco that was supposed to be all over the park this month

I hereby throw down the gauntlet to anyone who thinks they're good enough! (I'm not I've been trying this already...)

Try putting in the text first, then hitting the randomizer (more than once if you need to) and see if you can get something funny out of it (the text stays there).

A warning to any newbies though, if you do this and the comic is bad we will likely rate your entire account as bad. Please don't fill a brilliant topic with random crap, I'm pretty sure everyone only wants funny random crap. By all means strut your stuff, but please consider whether other people will also find it funny before posting.

I've deleted my first entry, it was a good example of what I was talking about in my last post.

The first of these I'm rather proud of though.

Ha! Even Kaufman couldn't come up with a worse pun than this!

Just a Few by cpausti 4-06-05

C'mon, laddy. I just need a few. This isn't money, they're preserved, compacted tuna cubes. Just a few.

Pre-made comic, but it was randomized, I promise.

Random Groan Inducer by Namgubed 4-13-05

Poor old Pvt. Westkirk. The old bean simply snapped, and practically dove over the top, and into a flurry of the Kaiser's machine gun bullets! What could have driven him to such a senseless, desperate act, I humbly ask you? Was it shell shock? Fever madness? What, pray tell? He said he couldn't stand to see another knight in the trenches!

Random Comic Contest by Mr_Pink 4-16-05

So I said to him that life's like a box of chocolates. Before I knew it he was touching me and asking if he could nibble my "chocolate-cream dispenser". Now he can only hope that at least one of his testicles will remain functional.

Shit, you guys are funny.

Just when I think I have a rough idea who the winners will be, you buggers blindside me with more hilarious strips. This is the best... *sniff*... competition I've ever hosted. Judging is tomorrow... and in my book you're all winners... (except that one guy who did that one really stupid strip... yeah, you know who you are).

All I want to say is that whoever wins, please host the next RM with a theme. We can't have the same stupid competition over and over again, can we?
