So, for this 563rd installment of the Stripcreator Comic Competitions, I am going to do something that I hope will get more submissions than the last couple contests.

The theme for this is an in-joke among my group of friends called "Arab Soccer".  I will lay out a list of rules, but the rules willl work in a special way.

Whenever a comic breaks a rule that comic will be disqualified, but the broken rule willl not apply to any comic that comes afterward.  This will eventually lead to a free-for-all, no holds barred comic slugfest, AS IT DAMN WELL SHOULD BE.

The only rules that will remain no matter what is that only one rule can be broken per entry, a series counts as one entry, and if you break a rule you have to wait for someone else to break a rule before you break another.

So!  The Breakable Rules:


  1. The Pregnant Pause- You have to have one panel with no speech or narration.

  2. Consistency- You have to use one character in all three panels or the same pairing of two in two panels.

  3. Consistency 2: Electric Boogaloo- You can't use more than two backgrounds.

  4. Originality- No Stripcreator in-jokes are allowed.

  5. No Photoshopping

  6. I'll Wash Your Mouth Out With Soap- No cursing.

  7. Self-Trepanation- No Nail-in-the-Head Guy.

  8. Abominable Abortion- No Feet-for-Ears.

  9. The 4th Wall- Characters are not allowed to speak to the reader.

  10. The 3rd Wall- Characters are not allowed to know they are in a comic.


The UN-Breakable rules:


  1. Only one rule can be broken per entry.

  2. A Series counts as one entry.

  3. If you break a rule, you must wait for someone else to break a rule before you can break another.


Every time I see a rule is broken I will post the disqualification and let eeveryone know what they can now do just to help things stay clear.  With that said...

BEGIN!

God dammit I wish someone had broken the Photoshop rule before brycekain.  That one was as hilarious as it is disqualified.

PHOTOSHOP RULE BROKEN!

The rule says you HAVE to have a pregnant pause.  You broke NOTHING, SIR.

You followed the rule, not broke it.

This contest will be judged next Friday or when only one contestant is left standing, whichever comes first.

Sometimes I wonder about the grasp of English possessed by our members, especially when "Once broken the rule does not apply" seems to mean "Once broken you must do the opposite of the rule", but whatever.

 

I'll give it to brycekain.

I am puzzled and honored (and a little queezy) ... I'll start a new CC very soon.
