I'm afraid this isn't the most original idea ever, probably because I wasn't expecting to win, but oh well. Anyway, the rules are as follows:

Books. I am a book dork and so have made them the topic. You can do one of two options:

1. Take a book and either a. make fun of it completely or b. retell the story but change the plot in some way, shape, form, or balloon. The more random the better.

2. Make fun of an author.

Try to use a book or author that is well-known. But if you have a really good idea and your source is a little obscure that's ok. Just try to put in the title or author somewhere in there.

Series are fine, old strips are fine, all's good. However, I'm going to ask that inside jokes not be used as I probably won't get them.

Oh yes, one more rule. All strips must mention a character named Mengigo somewhere in them. THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL. If you leave this out I will hunt you down and beat you with my ice pick. Don't think I won't.

Judging will be Monday around 6 PM EST as I won't be here Sunday. Have fun kiddies.

The Princess Bride by kaufman 3-19-03

I must return to my quest, Fezzik. I will seek out the six-fingered man all over this earth, and when I find him, I will hold up my sword and say: HELLO, MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA. YOU KILLED MY FATHER. PREPARE TO DIE! Well, what do you think? You'd better lay off the booze first, Mengigo. You can't even pronounce your name right.

My word Holmes, you've done it again. You solved the case of the missing Rothmere diamonds but how did you do it? It's was Elimentary my dear Watson... I noticed in the footprints we found that the suspect walked with a limp, had ginger hair, a mustache, a penchant for small boys and was carrying a cat under on his right arm... Only Mr Mengigo fitted the profile and was criminally insane enough to attempt to smuggle diamonds out of the country up a cats bottom. Take him away Lestrade

CC177-Jack and Jill as told by Stephen King by mmyers 3-20-03

Jack and Jill went up the hill. The hill was in New England in a creepy little town. Jack was new in town and Jill was down on her luck. He had found an old letter in a book his grandfather had owned. *New England accent* Hey thea. My name is Jack Mengigo, I'ma tryin' to get to tha top of that theair hill. *New England accent* You can't get theair from here. To fetch a pale of water. New England water. The water rippled with each step they took, waves collapsed in on themselves. The old bucket squeeked as it rocked forward and backward in her sweaty palm. This letta from my grandfatha says we'are almost theair. Yah, that would seem to be tha case. Jack fell down and broke his back. the pain was unbearable. Sweat rolled down his head and into his eye sockets as his breathing gradually slowed and stopped. Her image faded as his pupil shrank. I pushed yowa ass off that theair hill.
