I hate wordy comics, but you're going to make some.

For those of you who aren't from around these parts, an unusual American tradition in the US Senate allows a senator to hold the floor unless 2/3 of the other senators vote to end the debate.  In the past, this meant that a senator could stand on the floor and hold up a vote by talking endlessly (these days, all they do is threaten to filibuster and that is enough to stall).  Some guys would read the phone book, others would tell long, boring stories from their childhood.  If enough senators conspired together, they could talk continually for days and days to block a vote.

Rules:


  • Only one character gets to speak

  • They'd better fill up that dialog box

  • The comic does not have to be political or in a political setting, but the character should be filibustering for a reason

  • Funny comic wins.


If you need inspiration, this is pretty awesome:

I'd like to point out that Butch doesn't speak and so this comic is in compliance with the rules.

Nice entries so far.  I'll let this debate simmer on until Saturday and then invoke cloture.

Funny story...I actually gave my dad a titty twister last night.  Yes...I attempted a purple nurple on a 76 year-old man.  Why?  He was asking for it.  That's all you need to know.

But anyway, some very good entries and I had a hard time deciding on a winner.  First, I was going to give it to AccentuateNegative because he's never won and I'm a total fag.  Then I was going to give it to Choadwarrior because I'm also Choadwarrior and, being a total fag, am childless and therefore love all my comics as if they were the fruit of my loin.   Yeah, yeah, you all figured that out anyway.  No big whoop.

Since that would be unfair, I crammed all the funny comics that weren't mine into my salad shooter and the one that blasted out a winner was Evil_D.  I thought that made good use of backgrounds and the non-speaking character.  You, dear reader, were the runner up.  It was that close.  By the way, it really is a Salad Shooter; I'm not coining a new term for my butt.

So, Evil_D, you Chatty Cathy you.  It's all up to you now.

So, which stripper is Titty Twister?  I mean, when he says he's a fag, I've only narrowed it down to Crabby or that creative-for-a-retard13 guy.

Thanks, TT.  I like that I won based on the use of backgrounds that I ripped off from four_legged_tripod.  But I don't feel bad because four_legged_tripod already has everything he could want plus an extra leg, so what does he need with another comic contest victory?

New contest later today.
