I've seen that contests tend to be funnier if there are less restrictions on the strippers. Of course, funny isn't what these contests are all about, but I've never been one to go with the crowd. Anyway, Contest 37 will have very few rules:

There must be at least three different characters in the strip.

At least two different backgrounds must be used.

You can only use dialogue in one panel. It can be any panel, though.

...That's all the rules. These will either be incredibly simple or incredibly hard to make funny, as evidenced by: 21881

The contest will end on... Tuesday. At about 2 PM, Pacific.

Goddamnit, Gabe. If you have a winning entry, please wait until after a few other people have posted to cruelly shatter their hopes.

What is the timeframe, anywho? I don't want to have my strip up to be humiliated for quite so long this time.

I really don't know about that, but...
I've seen about half a dozen entries here already that I'd classify as varying shades of hilarious.

As a few other people have said, I hope the narration doesn't count as dialogue. I was sorely tempted to stick in thought balloons, too, but decided against it. Not that it matters - in my opinion, this one is a contest between Dave and Gabe.

Dan is such an easy name to confuse. We can't all have easy to remember names like babe_gillings.

Every time I see that it cheeses me off. When I made up the user id I just assumed that as with most computer applications you couldn't use spaces and capitals would be ignored. Then I saw Big Evil Dan and new that neither of those was the case. My anal retentiveness doesn't like an underscore in my name, but I thought it was a necessary evil.

But I'm not going to disqualify anyone, since you followed the rules I actually gave you.

And Ranma X, if you enter more than once, you have to designate just one strip as your actual entry.

Oh yeah, and remind me to smack you. A lot.

DH, you know that now that you've entered, there's a chance you'll win and have to work on the next contest, right, Neon Green Slackass? :)

I always thought that didn't matter. Well, then I meant the second one as my entry.

Oh, and we'll see about the beatdown some other time. I mean its not as though It was an implied homosexuality joke...or was it? ^_^

So far, I think I'd have to vote for Spankling's first one with the whore. If that one's not voteable, I'd have to go with Gabe's "Hide and Go Seek"

Judgement time, suckas.

Originally, since there were so many good entries in this one, I was considering pronouncing more than one person as winners, and then watching the debacle of their having to work together on the rules of the next contest... but I'm too lazy to do that.

Anyway, boorite, gabe, Dan and ObiJean were all damn funny, but one person here took advantage of my weakness for self-referential humor, and netted himself a totally unexpected win:

Congrats, now you're stuck with writing the rules to #38.
