The rules of this award comeptition should be similar enough to Kaddar's runs:
-Copy the comic below exactly.
-Add text to one, the other, or both characters in the last panel, but don't change the other panels.
-You may use the mirrored characters in the last panel.
-You may change the title if you want; an award may be given for good titles.

A psychic award will be given if you make a comic similar to the one I am thinking of.
According to the rules, the zinger award is probably the most esteemed award. It means you have a great punchline, which is what this competition is about.
I'm planning on judging Wednesday night; I'll inform you of any changes.
Not sure if anyone will get the reference to House of Leaves. I haven't read the book myself, so this is only based on what I picked up from my sister constantly ranting about it.

I have good news, bad news, and worse news. The good news: It's award time. The bad news: I don't know yet who won. The worse news: The trophy shop has a bit of a backlog, so not all the awards are here. Don't worry; I'll describe them. Close your eyes while you read this, and you won't even think you're missing anything.
Anyway ...
The Truth AwardThis would really happen

For future hosts, want me to make a trophy with the words "No Image jerkface!" on it? That way you can give it to people instead of making new images for one time awards that don't need to be in future competitions.
it will be like awards-noimage.gif in the /awards/ directory.
It'll probably be there by the time you read this post, mmyers..
Use this for trophies that you make that are unique and for one competition only and don't really need an image. Otherwise, make your own award graphics and if I see it in a competition I'll try to add it to the list, otherwise email it to me.
Yippee! Thanks for the honor of hosting. I need to go put on my fuzzy robe and slippers, grab my martini glass (every good host needs one) and I'll have a new contest up in an hour or so.
I looked at the awards the first time they came out, and I didn't receive an award or honorable mention. I contimplated suicide with a hot butter knife but my mom told me that everything was going to be okay. Then I look again today, and I have a cool award! YAY! Thanks, and that was a good FTC! Congrats to everyone! =D
I would like to protest the similarity "award" I got, because I feel our comics are fundimentally different. If you didn't notice, above my comic I said, and I quote:
"Not sure if anyone will get the reference to House of Leaves. I haven't read the book myself, so this is only based on what I picked up from my sister constantly ranting about it."
Let me explain, House of Leaves is a book that my sister is completely obsessed with. In this book, there is a house with a hallway that technically can't physically exsist, but it's there and It gets bigger and smaller. In the book the father of the family actually takes a few expiditons into the hallway because it grows so long it never seems to end. From what I gathered at one point a person actually comes out of the hallway and they say that they've been wandering around inside it for years. that is what my comic was about.
Now, this make our comics much different, and I feel the similarity award should go to the two goldilocks references.
