For this comic contest there is only but one simple rule:

- Make a comic that isn't three panels long. Two or one panels are fine, just not three. (Fill in the unused panels with the "black" background.)

What about two, you ask. Sure, I say. And one, you offer. Fine, I say. How about two plus one, you ask, quite stupidly in my opinion. No, I say, and send my manservant to beat you.

Multiple entries are accepted. Judging will take place Monday evening sometime.

Here's an example of one panel:

kaufman October 12, 2001 1:54 PM	My first instinct was to black out the left and right panels and plagiarize^Wrecreate some classic Far Side. However, more ethical minds prevailed, and produced this piece of crap: 38804

You can't use the black panel as part of the gag for this one. I won't disqualify any of the ones above, I'll just judge them by mentally deleting any black backgrounds used as a third panels.

israphael October 12, 2001 5:54 PM	Wow, what timing. I had just written this one before finding out about CC72. 38839 Wished I had come up with the 3D idea. (I can always steal it later.)

Drexle October 13, 2001 12:31 AM	29733 Since this one already helped me win a comic cup, it's probably not really fit to be an official entry, but since it fits the rules...

manky_man October 13, 2001 1:19 PM	38936 Not only can't I spell, I can't rhyme as you can see...

manky_man October 13, 2001 1:23 PM	38937 In a way it has only one box...but it has two 'cos there is speaking but then again there is no scenery. On the other hand it is just a focus of the eye...but if you think about it there must be 2 boxes...but there can't be! my verdict: shut your fucking face.
