i was going to make this just puns but then i thought all the comics might be "i do it for the pun of it". so instead i changed it to wordplay. you can do anything that involves worldplay. you can do:


  • the typical pun but only if you do multiples not just one as a punchline (take a look at these two of mine if you want to know what i find funny)
  • or you can break away from puns altogether and do other word play like substituion such as "what if ___ meant ____"
  • or bye you sing warts that sound like each other
  • or playing with the obcenity filter so that your comic says one thing with it on and one thing with it off (like drapery)
  • or lots of things i havent thought of

cleverness matters but not as much as funniness (thats a word). the winner will be the funniest one not the cleverest one

heres some legal jargon i stole from niteowl:


  • No limit on how many entries you submit.
  • Series are allowed as long as each comic has word play of some type
  • No archived strips.
  • No Photoshopped entries. (it would be cruel to have more phoshopped entries in this competition than in my photoshop valley contest. namely one.)
  • In-jokes aren't permitted since i won't get most of them and you'd lose anyway

i'll judge on July 20

Could we make it playing with words? I've just made a comic about that.

"Mandingo" sounds like it very well could mean "cock".

Why'd you go and have to make me a liar?

Possums won fair and square I guess. But then, I thought my second comic had a tad of funniness in it. Still, HC's one was really good. I might have chosen you to win HC. Mandingo must have decided to give it to someone else, just like how you gave it to someone else at the command of the Lord of Boiled Chicken.
