Welcome to Random Madness II.

For this contest you have to use the "random comic layout" button to generate a random comic and fill in the text, without changing any of the layout.

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.

Feel free to enter as many times as you like (but don't go overboard if you expect me to read all your comics).

Judging will be in about a week, and I will be judging both on the quality of each finished strip and on how difficult it was to work with. I will award a winner and probably some runners up or give some awards.

I... kinda gotta agree with possums on this one. It looks like you just copied and pasted my introduction for the first RM.

Sorry, I've just started work and didn't get a chance to read everything from the last comp. I'm too sick to bother fixing it right now, so if you want a theme then pick one and we'll go with that. You can judge as well if you like...

If you are too busy to judge and come up with rules, then this contest will go to who I think had the second-best strip and that is not possums, but Namgubed for "Random Groan Inducer."

That's only if you really feel that you're too busy though. It's up to you.

Actually that would be great. I'm too sick to be at work right now, but I can't afford to stay home. I can hardly concentrate right now...

If you could PM Namgubed that'd be awesome.

Hey, I just happened to be online and logged in. What a co-inkydink! So let me lay down some off-the-cuff rules:

1) Of course, you must use the Random Comic Layout button. Big Brother is watching you!

2) At least one of the panels must contain meaningful narration.

3) In the last panel, one of the characters turns out to be someone other than the similar character in the previous panel(s).

For example:

281164

Enter as often as you like. Judging will be in a week, give or take an indeterminate amount of time.

Have fun!

This is by far the weakest of my random strips, but I'll post it here so at least someone has entered!

Come on, folks! Just one entry doesn't really make a contest, now does it? I've seen a number of comics with the word "Random" in their title streaming through the New Comic lists, so why not stick a few rules-compliant ones in here? It'll make you feel good!

Hey, I live to give.

As a sidenote, this is the worst thing I've ever done, and one time I attempted to eat 2 pounds of sugar on a dare. I got about a pound and a third through... then bad bad things happened. Stupid random comic generator... I BLAME YOU!

It's tough to shoehorn the funny into those rules when added to any randomness, unless you get surreal, like:
