In deciding what to do for FTC 77, I thought of my favorite novel. This is, of course, Fyodor Dostoyevsky's classic, "The Brothers Karamazov." Because what could be funnier than a bleak, nearly eight hundred page book from nineteenth century Russia?

Anyway, make this funny. You can change anything but the two characters in panel two, the background in panel two, and the first piece of dialogue in panel two. Bonus points if your comic actually displays a knowledge of The Brothers Karamazov.

The dialogue comes from p.153 of the Farrar, Straus, and Giroux edition, not that it matters. Judging will be whenever I feel like it.

having on read TBK once or twice, i THINK this is what the scene's about.

plus, i think Russian Lit is better suited to updating for the ghetto vernacular.

Finn might've won, but Dmitri Karamazov would not have been able to favor Grushenka with his genital lice, as she refused to bed with him.

Biped might've won, but he thought Katerina's name was Darlene or Amber or something. Uh, I think that's her name. Katerina. Yeah.

Flippy might've won, but the original strip was funnier.

PrimeOoze might've won, but Yul did not, in fact, play Alyosha. He played Dmitri. William Shatner played Alyosha.

HCRoyall wins.

i demand a recount!!

not really.

congrats, HC

Whatever. The dude in the comic looked like Yul Brenner. Besides, it's not like I actually paid attention when I watched that movie.

Hooray!
