I've thought of some super-neat-o rules for this one, folks. Thanks largely to DexX's contribution to the CC26 folder.

The rules are simple:

1) You must use either Bongo from Life in Hell or Pants from Jerk City at least once in the comic.

2) Somewhere in the comic you have to use the words "toothpaste," "confetti," and "interstice" at least once.

3) The subject of the cartoon must somehow ridicule people who get silly liberal arts degrees, such as a French / Women's Studies major or (God forbid) a philosophy / linguistics major.

4) Oh, yes. No direct references to other Lowpass strippers. Not even DexX. ;>

Rule 2 may make this contest pretty hard. I'm glad *I* don't have to enter it. Let the games begin!

in·ter·stice (n-tûrsts)
n., pl. in·ter·stic·es (-st-sz, -sz.)

A space, especially a small or narrow one, between things or parts: “There is a gleam of luminous gold, where the sinking western sun has found a first direct interstice in the clouds” (John Fowles).

Middle English from Old French from Latin interstitium, from *interstitus, past participle of intersistere, to pause, make a break: inter-, inter- + sistere, to cause to stand, set up; see st- in Indo-European Roots.]

I think we've found wirthling's first business partner.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

Deadline? Um, Thursday-ish?

The name, by the way, for whomever asked, is "Scy-" (as in "sigh") and ("-ess" as in "lionESS"). I THOUGHT I posted this in the CC26 folder already, but apparently I didn't...

My use of interstice was stretching it a bit, but is synonymous with 'opening' apparently.

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

So it is, bunnerabb.

I went to a community college to start off college. After leaving, I went to a private college that cost a buttload and had a guy to girl ratio of 7 to 1. Oh, how I longed for the community college days of multiple choice questions and women who were women and not your roomate dressed up as one.

Well, I was trying to use a play on words since I always pronounce your name bunny rab. Zoophile, bunny rab, ah fuck it. And I swear to GOD, if I get compared to Gabe one more time on jokes, in bed, or ear hair, I'm moving to Zimbabwe (Z) to make a new start.
Nope, I went to one in Northern Arizona called Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Once, for a dance, the school actually went and recruited women from a state university some 150 miles away, just so there'd be enough. Sad really. Do you still have nightmares? I do.

Also, Indiana and Arizona both obviously have technical schools with high guy to girl ratios. Also, Indiana and Arizona are, I think, the only two states that don't do daylight savings time. Coincidence? Deducing these facts, there can only be one answer. I'm the King of Spain.

Haha. Yep, definitely. I used to hang around with my friends who went to ASU in Tempe, AZ (Suburb of Phoenix.) That school is huge, about 45 thousand or so, has tons of hot girls, and was voted Playboy's #1 Party school in the mid-90's. That school had it all.

Then I moved up to podunk Prescott, AZ to go to Embry-Riddle. The entire city of Prescott only had a population of 35 thousand. My college had only like 1500 people, and the few girls who were there were bunugly. (That's like Jamie Foxx dressed up as a woman ugly.) But, since it was 7 to 1, guys to girls, they started thinking since guys were horny and always trying to hook up with them that they were hot. I swear it was funny as hell. Like bizarro universe where the snaggle-toothed ladies with bristle hair and a lisp suddenly are too good for the room. The only thing that saved all us men from mass suicide was Prescott's Whiskey Row. It was a row of bars dating back to the 1880's when Prescott was an old west town and the territorial capitol of Arizona. And that's just another example of the type of historical information you pick up when you're not getting laid. :)

Very true... then again, the rules also say the comic must ridicule people who get silly liberal arts educations. Hhmmm...

Of course, when the person who makes the rules is also the person who interprets them and judges the contest, finding sneaky loopholes is sort of an empty victory, don't you think?

Terre Haute, huh? I used to curse like a sailor, but trying to get myself to stop, I started saying "Holy Moly Guacamole, Terre Haute, Indiana" everytime I was about to cuss. It worked fucking marvelously.

Uh, I spelled "interstice" wrong. Because I was too lazy to look it up before making my contribution...

...does it matter? WILL I BE PENALIZED BY YOU HEARTLESS, HEARTLESS BASTARDS?!?

...or will you find it in the depths of your collective hearts to forgive me this one error?

It does, but only lightly... something along the lines of, "Even an Arts graduate could guess these." I had the general flow of the strip worked out, and the Arts student reference was the last thing to be added. You may have noticed.
