I've been thinking about different ways of using the Stripcreator engine. I don't want to get too far away from teh funny, but I have fond memories of the old EC comics (no, I'm not old enough to have bought originals, thank you very much).

So for CC 340, your mission is to scare us out of our wits. The winning comic or series can be funny (EC had a wicked sense of humor), but I need a little of that chilly frisson I get from watching Rosemary grab a knife and head for the hall closet. If you can evoke that, you're in the running.

Photoshops are acceptable, but I'm leaning towards use of the materials at hand. Series of any length necessary - if you have more than five, just give us a link to the sixth one and we'll take it from there.

All day long I sit in this house and I cook dinner and I wait for my wife to come home. My life is completely routine. We make love every thursday, friday and saturday. Sunday she claims is for the lord. Monday, tuesday and wednesday is reserved for her lovers. She has no respect for me.

2 by crabby 12-03-06

I'm married to a much older man. He treats me well and he inherited a very large home when his father died. I work as a receptionist for a major tobacco company. I have lung cancer, but I'm afraid to tell my husband. I spend three days a week with a holy man attempting to cure my illness using modern medicine because my husband would be able to detect any radiation treatment with his strong sense of smell.

3 by crabby 12-03-06

My wife, your infidelity has gone on long enough. I know you have taken on another lover. I sniff your panties monday through wednesday and I smell the faint scent of seamen each time. Would you rather smell radiation to combat some sort of fateful cancer? I have lung cancer. I've been having a holy man soak my panties in his seamen three times a week to help ward off the disease so that I may spend more time with you on this earth. I can't say that I approve of this method. I would like to meet with this holy man so that I may at least discuss my disdain face to face. I will give you his number, but the least you can do is prepare him a meal when you visit. The only reason I find this necessary is because I love you. Here is the address where he can be reached.

I know this home. I remember in my youth making several trips here with my father so that his mistress could buy candy from me for school fund raisers. I HAVE COME TO SEE THE MAN WHO CLAIMS HE CAN CURE MY WIFES ILLNESS BY SOAKING HER PANTIES IN HIS SEAMAN OPEN THIS DOOR AT ONCE!!! **One moment** Father! You are nothing, but a corpse, yet I can still smell your cologne. I don't understand, you were always a man of science, why would you claim to be able to heal my wife? Perhaps you should hurry home to her. I am nothing more than a messenger.

5 by crabby 12-03-06

I hurried home, but I was too late. My wife was in bed with her lover and there was nothing left for me to do. I murdered him and wept for hours.Crying,asking my wife how she could do this to me. Cutting myself with a steak knife to show that her infidelity hurt me more than anything I could ever do to myself. In the end I forced her to swallow enough of my own blood that she died. In the end the last meal I ever prepared for my wife was my own sorrow.

New comic: Horror by Humpenstein 12-03-06

I thank all the participants. You are all too kind.

Groovy! - Rip Off, er, Homage to Humpingstain by edoggydog 12-05-06

Groovy! Groovy! Groovy! Praise Allah?!? Groovy! Groovy!

Okay, it's judging time! It was a challenge that not a lot of people took up - (translation: bolo sucks at creating contests, and not in a good way) - so the folks who did step out there, I really appreciate a lot.

The winner, though, is crabby. He really took the contest to a new level, which is what I was looking for. The other strips are all good, biped's especially. But it's crabby today.

I really felt motivated by a contest which featured rules that could be drawn out into an artful 5 comic 3 panel per comic series. Thanks alot Bolobolon and I'll never forget this.

boloboffin

I guess I'll have to take your word for it that Crabby's was the best;  I fell asleep halfway thru #3 from reading all the dialogue...

We all have our own style I suppose.

I'm gonna try to think up ideas for a contest that people might actually want to participate in while I'm at work today and they should be posted shortly.

crabby

Yes.  Your comics are well thought out, intellectually stimulating, and sophisticatedly humorous.  Mine are lame-ass doodlings from a three year-old's mindset

I appreciate the compliment.

New contest rules coming this weekend.
