The idea of this competition is to prove to me that you can write a funnier comic than those that are top rated on StripCreator.

1) Select any comic with a rating of 6 or better from the "top rated comics" on SC (the link is at the top of this page -- top rated).

2) Post the rating of the comic and the number of votes it had. (this is because they change twice a day -- dishonesty gets you banned from winning)

3) Post the original comic

4) Change only the dialogue to make it funnier and post your new comic

5) Your comic must be new and no photoshop.

6) You can name your new comic whatever the hell you want to.

Here's a bad example:
Except in the actual contest you can not update one of your own comics. It must be one written by someone else.

comic rated 6 users, score 6.67

Spankling Attempts To Join MENSA part 4 by Smarmulus 8-02-02

George Bernard Shaw wrote,"It's such a wonderful thing, what a crime to waste it on children." What is this wonderful thing? Bukkake!

CC 305: this is just an example by Smarmulus 11-19-05

George Bernard Shaw wrote,"It's such a wonderful thing, what a crime to waste it on children." What is this wonderful thing? A reach around.

In my example I didn't change the text in the first panel, but in your comic you can change all of the text or only some of it.

I know everyone will come up with great comics. This is my first chance to write a competition so if my directions are unclear feel free to call me an idiot and ask me to explain.

HAVE FUN!

Hey Arbi, you've got to post the comic you are improving so we can see if you are funnier than the original.
Thanks,
Smarmulus

"Eat a fucking cock." - attitudechicka

Hey gang, just to clarify --- only the pictures have to be the same. You can add dialogue where there isn't any, you can make someone silent who is speaking in the original. You can add or remove narration.

You can make fun of the original, you can do the joke but better, or you can just use it as a template to write a completely new joke.

There's tons of things like this in the current Cowboy Physics thread (and yes, Max's original is rated 6 or higher).

I don't want to limit your creativity, and make it hard for you to be funny.

Enough of my blabbing.

Smarm, I think it might be better if you told people to change the joke/setup in some purposeful (and funny) way. If entrants don't even use similar dialogue, then there doesn't seem much point in "redoing" the comic. Or, I'm missing the point, and you need to tell me to shut up. Either way, here's mine.

I love habnem's comic. Mine's not better -- just a variation.

Cuticles by habnem 7-28-03

Hey, you should see my cuticles. They're pretty. Wow. It's not often that you hear a guy talk about his nail beds. Nail beds? Hell, no. "Cuticles" is what I've been calling my balls since I started putting makeup on 'em.

Tard Boy and Finkelman by squidrabies 8-04-02

Do you think there really is a God? Wow, I sure hope not! I just killed a hooker.

RCL no. 687 by RandomComicLayoutGuy 11-19-05

Do you think there's a god? God, I hope not! I just blew away a skanky whore! Oh, that's nice- wait a minute! CC: 305's ambiguous rules clearly state that we must use the same art as the comic we're making funnier, you dumb bunny! Oh, yeah? Well, fatso, the RCLG has his own set of rules he must follow, and those rules supercede Smartasmolasses' rules. Now, let me be so I can go fondle the dead hooker's tits!

I like your idea for this contest. This is the best I can do as a random comic. I guess I'll have to sit this one out, and laugh frome the sidelines

So what's it say? Blue stripe is positive and red is negative, right? Yeah. So what does it mean if it's a neon green pentagram and smoking slightly? It means the kid'll take after your side of the family.

Why? by niteowl 6-13-05

Why is it that Hugh Grant had to get his knob polished by a hooker when he had Elizabeth Hurley? And why is it that in every movie he does, Hugh Grant is dressed in a suit, with tie off and collar unbuttoned? Why the fuck am I watching Hugh Grant's movies?

suicide note by areallystupidguy 7-03-04

what's the matter? it's...it's our friend! the compulsive internet addict! he... he killed himself this morning due to his addiction! maybe it was for the best... it was taking over his life. thats terrible! do we know any more details about why he did it? like, what pushed him over the edge? i...i have his suicide note here. i've been too afraid to read it... it'll probably explain everything though. "gtg"

Thanks Umfun. You are correct. The idea of the competition is to make a parody of another comic, or to try and make a great comic even better.

Since the rules may be too restrictive I'm willing to allow minimal changing of some of the background IF the intent it to parody or improve an existing top rated comic.

Now, let's see them Tard Boys and Timmy The Pervert and Physical Cowboys making with teh funny.

I know you probably get a lot of hate mail which made me hesitate to write you. But I have to for my own satisfaction. You are incredibly ignorant and petty. It is obvious that you have absolutely no life whatsoever and take incredible joy in ripping on people that you envy, such as me. I wonder what you would say to someone like me if we met on the streets. You are a coward Love Mom

GREAT MOMENTS IN HISTORY! Part 3 Hi. Nice gun. Thanks. I'm going to kill you and your family with it. You don't say. What for? Oh, the usual. I'm fuzzy, you're green. Clearly you're inferior. Hahaha, good one. Seriously, though. Whatever, man. Dick size, dance moves. The great thing about ethnic cleansing is you can just make it up as you go.
