This'll be pretty standard. If you want the left hand character to be saying something, that's fine. Other than that, don't change the third panel.
Random restriction: No stripcreator inside jokes this round.
Why not? No particular reason. I just wanted a random restriction.

Judging will be in one week unless there are too few entries in which case... I don't know what I'll do.

Good luck everyone.

The joke was kinda obscured by the amount of background obscuring text in the third panel, I suppose.

BTC 27: I'm Counting On It by Namgubed 4-23-05

Hi, I've had nothing but coconuts and the occasional beached whale for six years, and prayed for death, having lost all hope of rescue. You? I've drifted three months on a raft with my trusty rifle. I swear, if I can't hide from them ass-probing aliens, I'll fly into a murderous rage! And you honestly believe they won't find you here?

BTC27: No characters were harmed in the making of this strip by quodlibet 4-24-05

Oh, where awe you, you wascally wabbit? Pulling this trigger right behind you. Eh, m'sieur, it was hokay, but...do it again, eh. This time die weet more passion! I couldn't stand that wascally wabbit any more. So I ran away from Warner Bros. And you honestly believe they won't find you here?

BTC27: Membership: priceless! by quodlibet 4-24-05

Nothing like shooting trash to make me feel like a man. Especially bald, gay trash. I'm the president of the National Rifle Association. Oh, er, sorry about that. Lighting's bad in here. Don't apologize for that. I'm here for another reason. I haven't paid my NRA dues for eighteen years. And you honestly believe they won't find you here?

BTC 27: Hide and Seek. by Tterb 4-24-05

Why the hell are we playing hide and seek on an island with only a tree as a spot to hide? But... It's a great place to hide. It's the only place to hide, you ass. So..... And you honestly believe they won't find you here?

horray for life. boo.

All right, it's been a week.
I'm going to go away for a few hours. While I'm not looking, all of you who have been hiding your contest entries until the last minute so that "they" don't know about them can feel free to post.
Then, when you least suspect it, judgement shall be handed down.
If there are no new entries, I can only assume you all have something to hide.

I dumb :D

Okay, they told me it was time.
Who are "they," you ask? "They" are none other than the secret cabal consisting of pirates, ass-probing aliens, Warner Bros. studio execs, the NRA, your friends you play hide-and-seek with, and your own family.
Admit it, you always suspected as much.

Oh, you probably care more about the outcome of the contest than this inane little rant, right?

Mystery judge young Mr. Grace says:

It was a tight race this time, but Tterb just barely edged out the others to score a win his first time out. Not bad for someone who hasn't been here a month yet.
Tterb, BTC 28 is yours.

Nice, Thanks ok well I'll think of something and put it up. Sorry if it's already been done though.

horray for life. boo.
