Meet us down at the crop circle and save a dance for Piltdown Man and the FeeJee Mermaid.  This contest is all about hoaxes, the people who perpetrate them, and the people who fall for them.  Bonus points if you inadvertently reveal that you yourself believe in a hoax (note: the bonus points are a hoax).

I'll give it a week or two before judging, and the winner will run Comic Contest 710.  Good luck!

CC: 709 Foiled Again by Makin_d_bacon 1-25-19

Oct. 30th, 1938 9:58pm EST, aliens... Two minutes to "Invasion"! I'm so nervous...I hope we don't blow it! ...from Venus are about to attack Earth! We'll be fine! We do it just like we rehearsed it! Wait! here comes new orders from HQ! But after monitoring Earth radio..... What's up, Captain? We're too late! Those darned Martians beat us to it. They landed an hour ago at Grover Mills, New Jersey!

Let me get this straight... HCRoyall goes AWOL on his comic contest. I PM evil_d that he should go ahead and pick the winner since he was the previous winner, so we can get on with the next CC. Somehow, HCRoyall is reminded by ZmannZilla through Facebook that he has a contest to judge, then picks evil_d as the winner. DID THE THREE OF THEM NOT THINK WE'D ALL KNOW THIS IS A @%#$ HOAX??? What are you doing, Holly? Contemplating getting butt-fucked by that industrial lathe over there!

That's not a hoax, that's a conspiracy.  And if I were capable of organizing a conspiracy, I'd want to do something a lot more interesting than win a comic contest.

Rags to Riches by four_legged_tripod 1-28-19

I am a Saudi prince needing to transfer millions of dollars to the U.S. I will reward you with a large percentage of the money if you give me your assistance. The last time I fell for a hoax like this, "Amanda" turned out to be a 55 year old man! Looks like Rags left his computer on. Wonder what kinky stuff he has in his browser history. Thanks for the yacht Mr. Sheik! No worries Mr. Bacon. Oh, and please, call me Amanda.

This question is for each of the guys. If I were a hoax, which would I be and why? Definitely “War of the Worlds” being read over the radio because like those aliens, your incredible looks are out of this world The crop circles hoax comes to my mind since you are one sexy country girl I’m thinking Sasquatch because from what I can see, you have very hairy armpits

So, you saying there's no such thing as global warming? It's a hoax perpetrated by Al Gore so he could get his hands on more beef gristle! Why would he want more beef gristle? It's the only known deterrent for rabid squirrel bats! Don't be offended by this question, but do you smoke pot? Every day. Why?

Happy New Year, Gang!

CC 709 - The Hoax by Porternotes 2-04-19

Wait, so you’re not dying of Cancer? Nope. I fooled you! I even let you sleep with my wife! Speaking of which, your gal has some sour-crotch going on down there. I can’t believe it was a hoax. And I fell for it. Yep. Hook, line and your wife’s stinker.

Let's see... According this, there's only one way to skin a cat. So, that whole saying that there is MORE than one way to skin a cat is just a hoax? Just like the hoax that guys who grow goatees aren't douchbags. Go fuck yourself, pan face!

RCL no. 6570 by RandomComicLayoutGuy 2-07-19

Mr. Happy talks politics with a fellow office worker... So, you're saying this whole Russia thing was a hoax? Yes. That would mean Trump stealing the election was also a hoax? That would certainly follow. Oh, wow... Say, before we go any further, can you remind me what the word hoax means?

I'll judge this over the weekend.  The time to desparately brainstorm for a last-minute stroke of genius is now.

Justin Beiber said he's going to refrain from having sex during his year-long engagement with his girlfriend... There's going to be a ton of disappointed gay guys! EGGS-zacfly! Everyone knows that him being heterosexual is a big HOAX! I thought the big hoax was that he writes good music! True dat... By the way, I think you're overdue for your pruning.

Shirley...you jest? by Makin_d_bacon 2-09-19

The latest CC is about to end. We need some Hoax jokes! So you wanna take some pokes at making hoax jokes, eh? Why not? Different strokes for different folks. Right? We may be able to coax some jokes about a hoax from those croaking blokes in cloaks at the Courthouse! Okee doke. We'll get poked by the spokes of the wheels of justice jokes... ...and hope they don't provoke evil_d to invoke a ban on coke or the Kush being smoked! Capice?

Bird Baux by kaufman 2-10-19

Huh? Wait a minute! You're not wearing a bunny suit. Does that mean that you don't need to wear one to keep the aliens from making you want to kill yourself? And you're not wearing a clown suit. I was going to ask you the same thing. I think we've been had. Hey, do you think we ought to tell the blindfolded family over there that there's really nothing to worry about? Naaaaaaah.

The story about me judging this contest over the weekend was a hoax.  But now I'm going to judge it for real.

The runner-up is Makin_d_bacon for taking some pokes at making hoax jokes.

But the winner is Neo11 for this:

Tonight on Love Connection by Neo11 1-30-19

This question is for each of the guys. If I were a hoax, which would I be and why? Definitely “War of the Worlds” being read over the radio because like those aliens, your incredible looks are out of this world The crop circles hoax comes to my mind since you are one sexy country girl I’m thinking Sasquatch because from what I can see, you have very hairy armpits

I really like the premise of "which hoax would I be" as a question on a dating show.  Congratulations!

I promise not to come back tomorrow and say that declaring Neo11 the winner was a hoax.  This is genuine.  Scout's honor.  You can start the next contest.

Thanks for the selection evil_d, the next competition will be up and running before long.

Haha, saying I wouldn't come back today to change my mind was another hoax!

No, I'm just kidding, Neo11 is really the winner.  Seriously.  I promise.
