Have you seen the look in Bongo's eyes lately? He's hiding something... but what? Could it have to do with the recent lack of Captain Obvious references? Does he hold the key to a potential TOBORgate? Perhaps he's stumbled onto Dr. Pedantic's top secret files... Bongo has the dirt on someone or someones that could ruin their lives on Stripcreator.com... and anything that would be serious enough to ruin the lives of characters *this* fucked up has to be big. And have you seen how jumpy and nervous Bongo is? He knows someone is out to get him. He knows that someone wants him silenced... but who, and why? Could it be the Asian Girls? Neil and Roger? Evil Kangaroo and Mr. Stinkybutt?

That, my friends, is what this contest is all about. There's a conspiracy amongst the stripcreator characters and it's up to all you theorists to crack the case wide open and expose it to the proles... and remember that Bongo is the key to the mystery.

I will accept multiple entries as well as series. Photoshops are cool too, but ONLY if they're presented in the form of incriminating photographs involving at least one stripcreator character.

Time is of the essence, you have until late Friday evening to solve this mystery. Whoever puts forth the most entertaining conspiracy goes on to host the next contest. Good luck!

CC 98 - Lord of the WHAT? by Kevin_Keegans_Perm 2-04-02

So there i was. All alone. Surrounded by the Dark Lord and his minions. I had the one ring. The one to bind them all in my possession. And i knew he was coming for me. And suddenly i knew. I knew that neither Legolas or Gandalf or Arwen could help me now. I was on my own. I had to fight the most evil force known to man. Alone. So i cut deep with my sword into the heart of the beast known as Crabby. And he fell , screaming "I do not suck dick" . And in that moment , i became the Lord of the Brown Rings.

CC98: HEAD GAMES by crabby 2-05-02

That bongo is going to ruin what I worked so hard to get! I wish I never knew any of this. I wish I didn't have this hanging over my head. I have to do something about this. I'm going to kill you bongo! I'm going to kill you so you can never tell anyone my secret. What! Curse you LadyJ! What were you hoping to accomplish by telling this secret. I thought Wirthling would pay good money to find out who stole his body.

Inspired by crabby's entry ...

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together by kaufman 2-05-02

He was supposed to meet me here. Where could he be? That's the third time Bongo stood me up. How am I going to tell him that it was Bongo who stole his ear? One in 75 people are stricken with multiple personality disorders, and it seriously affects the lives of five percent of them. With proper treatment, though, they can live normal, productive lives. Won't you please help?

CC 98: Mr. Knoll-It-All by kaufman 2-05-02

Eat hot lead, Ulysses! Oh my god! They've shot President Grant! Eat hot lead, Ulysses! Huh? Look at that! There was a second gunman!

CC 98: And what did he return to the video store? by kaufman 2-05-02

What's the problem, Bongo? You've gotta help me, DexX. I was filming the Civil War reenactment, and they shot the president, but my film shows there was a second gunman. Look at the videotape. Eeeeek!!!! Whoops, I must have brought the wrong tape. That's all right. Leave it running.

kaufman, the video store strip is genius. I laughed until I stopped. Seriously funny.

If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no luck at all. D'OH!

These are inspired by crabby's strip, as well, and should be considered 'Episode 1' to his strip, if you will...which you shouldn't....but that's just me. Actually, it's Episodes 1-6. I don't know. Anyways, here it is:

When the Bough Breaks; or Polly Want Witness Protection by TheBlairZip 2-05-02

You wanted to see me, sir? Have you seen the latest reports? The company's going under! The execs have been swindling money for years! Oh no! This is very bad indeed! What makes it worse is that I know who's behind the whole thing (which I will tell you conveniently off-screen during the frame change)! Now, it's time to kill myself, as people in my position often do in these stories. HOLY SHIT! They'll think I did it...MUST FLEE!!

When the Bough Breaks, Part 2: Nowhere to Run by TheBlairZip 2-05-02

I don't believe it. This can't be happening to me. Who would have thought? God, I hope no one finds me out here... We just have a few questions for you, but you just stay there while I call for back up. HOLY SHIT!!!! HEY, LARRY.....wha? Awwww, hellfire and damnation. I knew I should have cuffed him!

When the Bough Breaks, Part 3: My Kingdom For A Hose! by TheBlairZip 2-05-02

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? Hey, Bongo. It's okay. I can help. YIKES! Who's there? And where'd my stool go? It's Mr. Stinkybutt! I feel your pain. My old company went up against Congress a few years ago. You've gotta quit running! So I should turn myself in and tell them what I know? And then assume a secret identity and hide out in the porn industry. Gettin' laid and gettin' paid, but they still won't use me for anal shots...

When the Bough Breaks, Part 4: (Insert Witty Title Here) by TheBlairZip 2-05-02

Finally, at the Congressional Hearing... Would you please tell the Congressmen what you know. Well, it's hard to explain...and why is Congress being held in the street? It's the only background of D.C. that we have, but that's not important right now! Please, do try and answer the question.. Well...I think it would be easier to show you. Your honor, may we take a slight field trip?

When the Bough Breaks, Part 5: Will It Ever End? by TheBlairZip 2-05-02

At the secret underground layer... Ladies and Gentlemen of Congress, I give you the culprit behind the company scandal! He pull back the curtains to reveal... WIRTHLING!!! And I would have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for that meddling guy...with the hammer and nails...you know, what's-his-face?

[Click to view comic: 'When the Bough Breaks, Part 6: The End?']
God, I'm bored. And yes, this was meant to be an Enron story, but I failed to mention that in the story. Which is why I'm doing it now.

Someone shoot me.

If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no luck at all. D'OH!

By the way, making storylines based off of other people's strips is actually encouraged. Let's see how many tendrils of intrigue we can get going here.

I'm wondering if this contest was at all inspired by this recent strip of mine, which showed up in the current guess the rules contest.

Geekaphobia by fpd 1-29-02

I'm a geek. What about you? I DO NOT BITE COCK! I don't mean that kind of geek. I mean the computer kind. I love Acorns best. DON'T BITE ME, GEEK! Why, you're as white as a sheet. What has you so terrified? I LOST MY EAR TO A GEEK AND HAVE ONLY ONE LEFT!

Plus he has that paranoid, "what was that?" looking over his shoulder pose.

---
Dad was flammable

Yeah, that too.

I'd conisered basing it around Neil, Roger, Jon, and Philip being unwitting pawns, but paranoid Bongo just spoke to me more than the above premise.

This idea (as you can guess) is from Star Wars, showing the last three episodes, then the first three. I'm also making it that order, (if you don't believe me look at my list of comics and it's in that order) now to make Ep 1,2 and 3

Bongo: Episode 4 by Bazilla 2-05-02

I'm telling you he's after me, and soon I will pay the price! Riiiight, so where's my sandwich? You'll get your sandwich when you've saved me from the torture. Fuck that!

Bongo: Episode 5 by Bazilla 2-05-02

And then he said "The end is nigh, I will kill you" HA HA No wait that's serious shit you're in. Not even I can help you.

Bongo: Episode 6 by Bazilla 2-05-02

No one has helped you! ALL YOUR BASES BELONG TO US They do!? Ahhhhhh *insert commit suicide slide here*

I am not 16 going on not 17, I know that I'm naive.

Bongo: Episode 1 by Bazilla 2-05-02

Bongo is watching the WWF fight between Mr. Bad and Dr. Good, Mr. Bad is winning. Boooooo, Boooooo Boo...rite Boo...rite Boo..rite Ahhhh, the time is come, Boorite is after me!

Bongo: Episode 2 by Bazilla 2-05-02

The end is nigh, I will kill you! You will!? Any way I can get out of this?  No  Oh shit! Oh god, not here, control yourself, man that stinks.

Bongo: Episode 3 by Bazilla 2-05-02

The only way I *could* get out of this is to scare him.. What are you doing here still? Hi, your ear kinda gave me ideas to do, and I still want to carry on. Anyway, I need your help, your shorts may scare boorite off, he's a bit scared of competition. I'll do it! No, wait I won't and you know why? Because episode 4 would need re-doing that's why!

CC98: I'm surprised someone hasn't done this yet by djsparkydog 2-05-02

Feel his torment We know you killed your wife, bongo. I didn't do it... it was the one-eared man. Wait a minute, that doesn't work.... I plead the fifth Feel his Fear We're gonna search every doughnut shop, pastry shop, Burger King, strip club, and crack house till we find him! I'll find that bastard... and I'll make him pay! Fugitive Part Deux: Search for the one eared man!!!! FREEZE OR TOBOR CORNHOLE!!! Don't even think I'm going to get a headstart on jailhouse love! I will find the one eared man... I'm inooooooceeeeeent...

CC98 It's been so long without me knowing by skagg 2-05-02

I can't hold it any more... ...I've just got to let it out... HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE GENERATION OF GRAVITONS GOD DAMMIT!! LISTEN TO HIM FOR ONCE YOU DOPED UP FOOL!!

Who knows what fear lurks in the hearts of men? MIKE BOBSICO KNOWS! And if you give him a decent tip when he delivers your mail , he might tell you.

I didn't want to clutter up my account with a bunch of unfinished serials, hence the alternative nickname.

CC98: The Usual Suspects - Part 1 by Geniu$ 2-05-02

so then what did you do? I just walked up to him and said "listen pal, if you think I'm going to give up without a fight, you got another thing coming" and......*gack* Phil?.....PHIL? *thud* ah crap! *gargle*

CC98: The Usual Suspects - Part 2 by Geniu$ 2-05-02

One minute he was fine and the next he had collapsed on the floor, he just dropped dead. I REALLY hate to say this, but I suspect foul play. So, Mr Beatnick, you say that you weren't even in the room when he died? Yes Inspector, I already told the police, I was in the kitchen getting a glass of water. Seriously, you need to get me somewhere safe, he's after me, please! Look sir, first we need to take your name, then check your address, then stop off at McCheesers, then....

CC98: The Usual Suspects - Part 3 by Geniu$ 2-05-02

So, Mr Bongo, you say you know who the murder was? Yes, but you have to promise me that you'll put me on some kind of witness protection program, I'm not safe here! Don't worry, we'll sort something out, just tell me what you saw at that party! Well, I thought something was up straight away when we got the invitation, Andy seemed a bit over excited about a party that had nothing to do with cheese and wine... What is so strange about that? Let's just say a party where you get drunk and put different toppings on biscuits isn't a good idea when Andy's around.

CC98: The Usual Suspects - Part 4 by Geniu$ 2-05-02

Phil had been telling everyone about his idea for an anti gravity car... You see, the reason why people failed in the past is because you don't try to make the car float up, but instead, try to make the rest of the world sink down! fascinating! There was one man who seemed a little more interested than everyone else... that idea is BRILLIANT! the biggest problem was, when we tested more than one car at a time, fountains of molten lava washed away most of the assistants. No-one else seemed to take any notice of him... ...but I just realised that there's not really much money to be made running a roller disco, so I moved into fashion modelling, but they wanted me to do light porn, at first I was a little scared... kill me

CC98: The Usual Suspects - Part 5 by Geniu$ 2-05-02

Phil slipped off to get a beer and I noticed the weird guy was missing. Dude, I'm going to get a beer! Well, okay, thanks for telling me! Hmm, it says in the police report that Mr Beatnick was in the kitchen at the time of the murder, was it him? Nah, Beatnick was passed out in the lounge, he had just lost some party game to Andy, I'm not surprised he didn't want to admit that. It was only Phil, Andy and myself in the room when he died. Hey! Hey Andy, I just got into an argument with some weird guy in the kitchen!

Come ahead then!

Here are the first nine parts of a series that might or might not continue.

CC98: The Bongo Affair, part 1 -- Abduction by fpd 2-05-02

Egad! What is that? Why does it look so familiar? You must come with me, Bongo. Resistance is futile. No, no, don't take me! Not again, not again! As you shouldn't remember, as we make you forget each time, we have abducted you many times. This is all routine. Life is truly hell! Why me? Why me?

CC98: The Bongo Affair, part 2 -- Reunion by fpd 2-05-02

Come with me, Bongo! You look vaguely familiar. Where have I seen you before? I am Token, the Reptilian member of this ship's crew. You have seen me here many times, though you should forget each time. You won't bite me, will you? No, but I might. Arrrrgh! Not you! Not you! Stay away from me, please stay away!

CC98: The Bongo Affair, part 3 -- Memories by fpd 2-05-02

Sir, the Earth specimen Bongo seems to remember me. What shall we do? When we can no longer induce amnesia, we must induce false memories. The doctor will take care of it. That other alien bit off my ear. I remember it so clearly, now. No, you lost your ear to a circus geek when you got between him and a chicken. I lost my ear to a geek. Yes, that's right. You are currently at a Stargate: SG-1 convention. I am dressed as one of the Asgard.
