It had to be done.

There's really only one rule. The basis for the joke has to be based on Pokémon. Do another episode-in-three-panels thing, overload it with lame puns, critique its influence on post-industrial literature. Whatever. Just make with the funny.

And yes, I know, there's not much in the way of yellow in the strips. You still have to keep it out of photoshop. That's the challenge. ;-) That pissant yellow rat isn't worth a joke anyway.

I'm sorry. Really. I am.

The contest is due Tuesday the 21st at noon EST.

Yes. I realize I gave you 5 days to do this.

Yes. I realize contests usually run 3 days.

Yes. I realize 5 days might be a bit much.

No. I wasn't thinking when I came up with that figure.

If you do good enough, I may shorten it to Monday/4 days.

For some reason my last sentence got cut off by 6 words, but at least the gist of the punchline is there.

So I go to lunch and two folks "steal" my idea of comicmon. So I guess it's on to Plan B, and start the lame pun bandwagon!

A half-arsed effort, but the previous round's winner never wins, anyway... *grin*

Poketheman is not of my time.

After sitting out cc53, I'm back with a vengeance!!

Well, okay, not so much a 'vengeance' as another comic, but you get the idea.

Knowing nothing about Pokemon, I backgrounded myself by reading some Pokemon fanfic.

I'm going to go drink a bottle of Drano now.

And the second...

I know fuck all about Pokemon, and, frankly; I hope I never do.

I'm new! Kick me!

There's 14 hours left as of this post...if anyone wants to squeeze one last entry in...

I figured I'd take a whack at this, but I needed to do some research since I know nothing about Pokémon. I found the following information:

quote:

---

- It goes to the various towns and the wood, and a PokeMon is made to fight, and collected, and raised, and we complete a PokeMon illustrated book as a sweat shirt of the PokeMon.

- We can fight against the friend's PokeMon by using the telecommunication cable, and we can be exchanged, and it takes charge of us, and we can be brought up.

But who needs to know the subject when you have a warped imagination...

The connection between these two subjects has always disturbed me...but not as much as the fact that I've submitted three entries to a Pokemon contest.

Please kill me now.

Well, it's time to judge 'em...

I'm only gonna mention the ones I really liked. And I'll try to make a comment or something. Hey, what do you expect? I'm tired.

Don't feel bad if I don't mention you here...keep in mind, I actually LIKE Pokemon...

Yes, I know...

Anyway, it's hard to make a universally good joke about Pokemon. That being said, here are the good ones.

Big Evil Dan, "More Educational"

Wirthling, "Namblachu": Eh, it's OK...but I'd stick to the donkeys.

Habnem, "Obscure corners": I like the last line. Then again, I liked "What the hell I got no body" and I CAN'T let Crabby win this one, I just can't. IT was kinda funny though.

Wirthling, "Poke-in-the-bag"

Spankling, "Generation Gap": Good use of background.

Dan, "Dr. Help-Me-Out": I expected more double entendres from this contest, I really did.

DexX, "Bottom of the Barrelmon": Honorable mention, for Aybabtu and all.

Kaufman, "Jamaican Bobsledders": This would be REALLY REALLY funny, it might have even won, but alas...I've been tainted. I can't hear "Po-key-mon" without mentally strangling the kid who says it. So consider yourself mentally strangled. ;-)

NeoVid, "More Pokemutations": It helps that I'm a fan of Weird Al too... ^_^

At the moment, it's down to two outstanding comics...

NeoVid, Pokemutations: I liked "Oh, very funny dumbass." And the whole frame-devoted-to-narration thing.

Big Evil Dan, Not-So-SmartTalk: That "tainted" thing. I've read more rants about how Pokemon is the devil's game and shit, so I can't help but laugh at the last frame.

Oh...who to choose...who to choose...damn. How about this. Heads, it's Dan, tails, it's Neo.

Haights loads a Pikachu onto a skeetshooting catapult.

"Pull."

The Pikachu is launched into the air. Haights pulls the trigger. As the pellets hit the yellow furbag, the electric cheeksacs are torn instantly, causing an electrical fire that burns the fur and melts the eyes, causing them to pop and making a great photo op for rotten.com. Meanwhile, the pellets continue, decimating the skull and obliterating what little cerebral matter is left in that empty skull.

Heh. Well then, heads it is. Get ready, Dan.
