As a child, most of us want to be something like a Doctor or a Football Player or a Teacher when we grow up. As we develop we learn about a wider variance in the job market. We find out about Marine Biologists, Advertising Agents, Prostitutes and Car Salesmen. However, do we know about all the positions people in this world hold? Most likely not. After all, do you think about the CEO of the company that produces those cheap statuettes at the dollar store? How about the Mayor of Hot Coffee, Mississippi? And who was the guy who designed that stupid crown logo for Hallmark anyway?

Your Mission: Create a comic about a job that nobody ever thinks about.

The Rules: The Job doesn't have to be real, but it has to be believable. You can't make it a comic about a guy getting paid to wax hobo penises, because such a job never would exist. Old comics are not OK. Series are good, so are photoshop entries. You will get a special psychic award if you guess the super secret job, but it probably won't increase your chance at winning.

Well, what are you waiting for?

This is a tough contest to judge. All the entries were good, it was hard to decide which ones I liked the most.

quodlibet win the special psychic award. That's right, the mystery job was, as he put it, a 'condom integrity specialist.' although I would have given the award to anyone who mentioned Norman Mineta, Secretary of Transportation, or any mention of a soil major in college.

80_Million_Fleas gets the Bad Move award, as it is never good to make a comic that insults Otakus as an entry in a contest being judged by an Otaku.

choadwarrior and xxausrottenxx tied for 3rd place. Both of them had creative choices in jobs and funny comics.

umfumdisi wins 2nd place, because he had two awesome entries.

seattlesque wins 1st place, for this comic:
254294
and also for his claim that he met a real life dildo tester.

and anyone who entered and didn't win any of the above awards gets a "thanks for participating" award. Honestly, it's not that I don't like your comic, it's that I liked someone else's better.

Well I am honored, firstly to have won, and secondly to have done so with a subtle and pretty much G-rated comic. But I guess that balanced out with the dildo tester thing. (In actuality, it's just one of the standard duties performed by those who work in sex shops. It would have to be a fairly large store for that to be a full-time job...)

All right, then I guess that means I have to come up with a competition and then somehow resist the urge to enter it. Is that possible?
