I was looking at some of the earlier CC's for ideas, when I ran across andydougan's CC 87, "Not with a bang, but with a whimper", in which the rule was that the third panel must have absolutely no dialogue or narration. Here is an example:
| |

| Gee...it's hard to decide between the classic Ferrari and the brand new Lambergini. But I think I'll look nice behind the wheel of that Ferrari. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Excellent choice, sir. And, by the way...it came out of Hitler's ass. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Yes, fine, and...uh...wha-what did you say? | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| The Ferrari, sir. It came out of Hitler's ass. He just ate all the different parts, and shit a Ferrari. And there it is. | |
| | |
|
|
|

But instead of completely stealing his idea, I decided to alter it just enough to make it my very own completely original idea by saying that the panel with no dialogue or narration can also be the first or second panel. But wherever you place it, the other two panels must contain dialogue or narration.
The wordless panel cannot simply be a black, blank, or default (two asian girls, blank background) panel.
Items from the "props" category such as "splat!" or "boom!" are allowed in the no-dialogue panel.
No photoshop or old comics.
If you do a series, each comic in the series must conform to the rules.
Whoever says "hey, this idea has already been done before" (or words to that effect) and posts a link to the thread which proves that it has already been done before will be disquaylfed!
I hope this is a good idea for a comics competition! If not, I am very sorry.
Have fun! If not, have something else.
