Okay, it's the space year 2003, and by rights we should all be living on the moon and going towork in hovercars. And I should have a robot to do my ironing, and my own personal laser death tank with disintegrator rays and a rear firing neutron bomb. That'll teach them.

Except, the future, which is now, has been a bit crap so far. The closest we have come to high-tech gadgetry is a phone with a camera on the back. We are now told that all old mobile phones are embarrassing, and we should aspire to having this one phone with the camera on the back. It's the whole knee-jerk attitude of "It's newer- so it must be better!"

So, for this contest, I'd like to see someone or something facing being replaced, whether it be at work, or maybe in a relationship, or maybe the christmas tree character is facing up to being superceded by a high-tech christmas tree with a phone attached.

So here are the rules, in easily digestible chunks:
[list]
[*] Someone or something is being replaced.
[*] Make a comic, or a series of comics about this.
[*] We don't necessarily have to see the replacement.
[*] Just for a change, I'll accept photoshopped entries. We haven't had that for a while.
[*] But don't worry if you can't be arsed doing some photoshoppery, I won't hold it against you.
[/list]
Judging will be Tuesday morning.

I'll actually bother to create something new a bit later,but one of my older ones is appropriate to this contest:

Dear John, You've Been Replaced. by naz_ghul 2-28-01

Bob, why don't we talk anymore? Is there something wrong? Did I upset you in some way? No, everything is fine. I, uh . . . I gotta go. It's that fucking Cell Phone, isn't it? That backstabbing hussy!!

If that's true, then mine should also work:

Show, Replace and Wince by kaufman 1-02-03

Let me be the first to congratulate you on your CC 163 win. Those photoshopped comics were works of genius. Thanks, but I didn't win. You didn't? That's inconceivable. They were hilarious! Kramer would be the first to admit that. Yeah, but someone hacked into stripcreator and replaced all the characters in my comics with nude pictures... So? He probably gets into those as much as any of us... ...of Nancy Reagan, Michael Jackson, Fidel Castro and Roseanne. Brad's banned me from the site for life.

CC 163:Why're All The State Names So Friggin' Long Up Here? by ArtemisStrong 1-02-03

Deep In The Heart Of Connecticut. I can't believe it. They're getting rid of us. Getting rid of the entire state of Connecticut. It's sad, really. I had so much here I was fond of. My house. My Gamecube. My family. Word is they're replacing us with a giant parking lot. Giant parking lot? What's that good for? The new Super Walmart up north. Ohh, yes. They used to call that Massachusetts, correct?

Keeping with the spirit of the contest, I'm replacing the previous entry with this one.

CC: 163 Unacceptable Mate by naz_ghul 1-02-03

Billy Ray, I need to talk to you. Yes, sweetheart? You see, I've met somebody. Even though I've never reciprocated your feelings, I need you to accept that I have someone in my life. What does this person have that I don't? She's a woman. Oh, is that all?

Contest 163: One Day at the Dildo Factory by il_schmucko 1-03-03

Maura, I've been dying to see you. I know you were fond of the 7" WondraVibe, and it was a great seller, but R&D just came back from a trip to South Chicago, and... well... just look behind you.

Yeah, don't quit on account of my entry. Just because you find it funny doesn't mean that kvk does. Besides, I think artemis's library strip rocks.
