The long-running webcomic A Softer World came to an end this month.  Not familiar with it?  Go take a look.  (You can click the "fnord" link in the banner to get a random strip.)

...

I know, right?  What the hell was that?

ASW was weird, but whether you like it or hate it, one thing you have to give it is that it was unique.  It has a style and a voice unlike any other webcomic I've seen.  And it occurred to me, you know, we could do a half-decent parody of it with the tools we have here.

So, the rules for this contest are pretty simple:

No characters, no props, no dialogue.  There must be three panels and at least one of them must have narration.

Your goals are twofold:

1.  Mimic ASW's style.
2.  Be funny.

You don't have to do both of those things, but you have to do at least one.  The strip that does the best job of meeting one or both of those goals will be the winner.

I'll judge this around, let's say, Thursday the 18th.

Have fun!

Good entries so far.  I especially like the one where RCLG sacrifices his health rather than just skip the contest.

Last call for comics.  Judging sometime tomorrow.

Okay!  Thanks to everyone who entered.  It's the moment of truth.

Runner-up this time is four_legged_tripod.  I feel like he really got the spirit of the contest.  His A Softer-er World 3 quickly made the top rated list and was one of my early favorites to win.

But I'm actually awarding the victory to Kevin_Keegans_Perm for this entry:

I really like the twist ending to this one; it's clever as well as funny.  And I'll be honest, I didn't get it at first, and I think maybe my delayed reaction made it better for me.

So congratulations, KKP!  You're up for CC614.
