I think it's funny when things talk that can't really talk.  Did that make sense?  It did?  Good.

Entries in this contest should feature a human character talking with a non-human character.  You can vary what's going on in each panel, but there must be at least one panel that contains both a human character and a non-human character, and the non-human must have at least one line of dialogue.

Bonus points if they're talking about something other than having sex with one another.  I know how you people think.

If you're not sure whether a certain character is human, assume that it is.  Robots are honorary humans for the purposes of this contest.  Finally, if someone is talking through an object such as a phone, TV, or computer, that can't count as your non-human.

New comics only, please.

I'll judge this sometime on Sunday, November 6th.

For the benefit of any newbies: whoever wins this comic contest has to create and judge the next one!  Enter, but know that in doing so you risk bringing this terrible burden upon yourself!

look, i know i mixed everclear, redbull, and fanta. i know this is bullshit. you're a mailbox or toilet or something. as long as i wait you out and DON'T do what you say, i'll sober up and be fine bullshit, huh? like the time your parents lied to you about your dog going to live happily on a farm? yes, exactly. i just have to sober up and... what did you say? how do you know about that?! i know because sometimes extraordinary things DO happen. i know because if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be true. i know because your destiny awaits, Sue after sobering up...

One Night at TGI-Flydays by kaufman 11-04-11

Good evening, sir, let me tell you about our specials tonight. Our seafood specials are crappie, fecaled herring, and dungerness crab. For a heartier appetite we have a delicious turducken, or if you feel like something Asian, may I recommend the poo-poo platter? If you want something Italian, we also have a great spaghetti fra diarrhea. So may I start you off perhaps with an appetizer of shittake mushrooms? Um, no thanks. Could I please have something off the non-flies' menu? I'm E. coli intolerant.

Hi Claire. Come on. Answer me! I won't. I bet you're going to call HER. What is wrong with me? You're a PHONE! I can't be with you. So. Why is there something called "phone sex"?

That'll just about do it, I think.

I was pretty pleased with how this contest turned out.  I handed out a lot of "good" ratings.  I thought it was especially interesting that so many people chose to use a part of the background as their non-human character; I had expected to see mostly animals and a few props.

And now it's time to announce the winner.  But first, to keep you all in suspense for a little longer, let's list a few Honorable Mentions.

The Marlboro Man Award, which comes with a coupon for $500 off a tracheotomy, goes to four_legged_tripod for:

But as good as those comics were, you all got your asses beat by biped, who turned in two excellent comics, either one of which would be a worthy winner in its own right:

Congratulations, biped!  Now give us a comic contest that doesn't taste like it was made from some crappy mix.
