I didn't expect to win the last contest, so I hadn't thought of any rules.

So here's what I came up with at the last minute. Write comics that build up to something and end bathetically. For example, a comic about a valiant, hard-fought 16-month campaign for they presidency that turns out to be for the presidency of the 3rd grade class, etc. Non-sequiturs will work, too. Anything that leads to an anticlimax.

Note that BECAUSE of the rules, we're all expecting each comic to foil our expectations, so the more creatively you foil them, the better. If I see the joke coming (and we'll all be looking!) then it won't be as funny.

And, just to reign in the rules a little bit, all comics have to make at least one reference to how much disco sucks.

I also reserve the right to change this contest if these rules turn out to suck.

Judging -- I dunno. Late Sunday / early Monday. Unless I'm late, which I most likely will be. Go to it, kids.

[*]Stay away from jokes about other SC strippers and forum in-jokes such as TOBOR, wirthling sucking, Cowboy Physics, etc. They're old, they're tired, and many of them weren't funny to begin with. So even though they're technically allowed by the rules, I will not find them funny. So you will lose.
[*]Go ahead and post as many entries as you want.
[*]Series are welcome, but the comics will probably be judged individually.

CLARIFICATION

The comics have to involve not just any foiling of expectations, but a bathetic one, an anticlimax. In other words, great things are expected, but only little dinky, trivial things happen.

Okay! On with it, then.

For my obligatory twisted pun entry, I considered a comic about someone getting clean in Athens, and one about someone dueling anticlimatically with a Musketeer, but instead chose this one ... before seeing Bazilla's on the same theme:

CC 161: Robin Seeks to Lose His Virginity by kaufman
12-19-02
What's this? The Boy Wonder wants to become a man? Master Grayson seeks to use his Dick? Robin pining for some red breast?
Lisa, will yo go all the way with me?
Uh, thanks for the offer, Dick, but I need to floss the cat tonight.
The Gotham Girls are unanimous ...
... Are you kidding? The way you always hum that vapid Le Freak song? It would make me sick?
Holy chastity belt! I've struck out again. There's only one thing to do ...
To the Bat-hos!

Disco sucks.
Nice gun.
Thanks.

This comic does not have sodomy in it. This comic will never have sodomy in it.

Stop writing me letters. Stop phoning my house. I don't care how much you beg, whine, whimper. There's a place for sodomy in humor, but this comic ain't it.

This comic is a Sodomy-free Zone. This comic reads No Ass-Parking at Any Time.

For the love of christ people, let it go!

Come, I shall go on a mighty quest to bring back disco!
I dunno, if that's such a great idea. I think disco being dead might be a good thing.
Nonsense, I'm going now! We'll all be wearing leisure suits in no time!
...
Aw, fuck it, disco sucks anyway.
I knew you'd see reason.
