We were all surprised when a few months back our own ObiJo announced that he'd reached his pinnacle here at Stripcreator Central and was leaving for parts unknown. We all figured it was some odd scam or desparate ploy for attention, but when he didn't come back we realized he hadn't been kidding. A great man, struck down in his prime. We were all saddened by the loss.

Now and then he'd pop in and leave a post or two, just to taunt us. But alas, no return.

Then one day he decided to reappear as if he'd never left. But the question remains, just where was Mr. Jo during that fateful time?

Some surmise he was working at a secret underground lab trying to make fireproof jello. Others say he was playing the part of Rizzo in a travelling show of Grease. Still more though (and hoped) he was dead.

Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to unearth the truth about the missing months. Where in the world was Obi Sandiego?

CC 61 Rules
1) Your comic should reveal where ObiJo was during his absence here at Stripcreator.
2) The height of your comic's characters is important. They can either start short and get steadily taller, or start tall and descend. Or, if you'd like, they can peak in the middle somewhere. But no saw-toothed profiles. See the images in the next post for clarification.
3) The more you insult Obi, the happier we'll all be.

Judging will take place sometime Wednesday (9/12) evening.

This is the kind of thing you get when you randomly arrange characters to make a nice descending shape, and then try to fit in some dialogue to suit...

I figured it was okay since Mother Billings herself pretty much admitted to it.

I always thought ObiJo had a free pass to Gabes mom.

I must defer to that which made me giggle the most. Evil_d's came close, as did wirthling's, but in the end I think I need to hand it to ma. (And not just because she's my mother.)

And no bitching about the height requirement. It doesn't really follow it since there's no descending or ascending, but there isn't any up-down motion either. (I'm not counting empty spaces.) And if you don't like it, go talk to my complaint department.

Don't make your fake personas funny if you don't want to win contests.
