The rules for this contest are pretty simple. I want you to create a strip that mirrors the "day in the life" style of documentary filmmaking. Pick a real person, a fictional character, a friend of yours, someone you just made up on the spot, one of the SC.com characters, whoever you like, and write a strip about a typical day for them. Actual stylistic rules are as follows:

1) Each panel must represent a different time of day, and the three panels have to be in chronological order, and occur on the same day (or the same "waking period" or working day for a characer who stays up all night).

2) Each panel needs to have some indication of the time of day, either in the narration or in the thoughts or speech of one of the characters.

3) You can have a narrator if you like, or have the character him/herself provide a voiceover, but neither is compulsory.

Multiple entries are okay, as are photoshopped ones, though in the latter case I must admit that I will be biased toward a real SC.com strip, so it would need to be very good to win.

Judging will take place in 72 hours.

kaufman October 9, 2001 6:37 PM	Ok, so chronologically speaking, this violates Rule 1, but in terms of causality, it's in proper order. My original idea was to have a completely blank panel 3, but feared that would be too subtle. Plus, everyone likes a good time-travel type story, right? 38457

Okay... time to club this cute little baby seal of a contest to death... *blink blink* Uh, yeah...

I would do all the honourable mentions, but I am too slack to comment on all of them, and anyone who doesn't get a mention tends to feel a bit slighted. As such, I'll just do a few placings.

Runner up: Fuzzyman, Hannah the Hooker. This one really made me laugh.

Third place: Attitudechicka, Just Another Day. I am so familiar with this one, it's depressing.

Second place: Kaufman, Paradox. You silly little intellectual, you.

ObiJo October 11, 2001 11:13 PM	Ok, my first idea is not gonna happen. (Something about it violating international treaty.) So I'll try to think of something good and post it tomorrow.
