The first of three down-and-dirty, mud-slinging presidential debates is tonight. Show me how you think it went, or how you imagine one of the future debates will go. If you are some kind of godless foreigner who knows nothing of the great institution that is American Democracy, then you can substitute a debate of any kind (from philosophy class to class warfare). There is only one additional rule... a tagline from one of the regular posters must appear somewhere in your comic. Example: John Kerry insisting that "nothing says metal like a killer accordian solo".

Series are O.K., but the tagline rule has to be followed for every comic.

Extra credit if one of the regular posters from the "Did Someone Mention Politics?" thread shows up in your strip or series to offer commentary.

BTW, I'm not fond of Bush or Kerry, so I don't think you can possibly offend me (but extra credit if you do).

Judging in 5 - 7 days. 24 hour notice will be given before the contest ends.

Don't forget the tagline rule, folks.

Okay, I changed the title of my first entry.
The tagline is/was JesusSandwich's. Thanks.

So... Kerry is the donkey then?

O.K., you guys have got until around midnight tonight to get in that huge flood of last minute entries you've... uh... been saving up.

I'm not 100% sure what you meant by the campaign slogan thing. I think my entries tried to incorporate actual quotes or platforms of the candidates. But just in case, here's another entry.

Okay, I swear I'm done with the debates.

But I've gotten a lot of negative comments in general, where as I've gotten a lot of positive PM's and feedback on the political strips I've done.

Enough, fools! The time of judgement is at hand.

And the winner is... each and every one of you. You are all special in your own way. And I'm not just saying that because you're retarded.

However, the rules dictate that I choose just one of you to run the next contest. And that person is teh Possums. Why Possums? Because he put forth alot of effort and hit all the extra credit assignments.

I'm not going to announce runners-up, because that wouldn't really be fair to all the people who blow ass. Instead, I'm giving each of you a gold star.

Oops, I'm out of gold stars, but I've got a big red 'L' for each of you to stick on your forehead. It stands for, uh, "Legendary"... yeah, that's it.

The next contest will be done up Possum-style.

Good choice. possums' comics were "far out."

Congrats, possum.

Congratulations Dude.

Good job possums. Maybe now you'll stay out of my garbage cans.

Salty babies! Wow, I was actually quite certain that Kaufman had me with his entries. What can I say? I'm a sucker for pollock jokes.

The next one will be up... soonish.
