I have been duly appointed to post the latest BTC and breathe new life into the flagging BTC tradition that once flourished so spectacularly in this forum.
Unfortunately, I was never very good at making up BTCs or FTCs. So that's why I am asking you to pretend that the template that I am providing below is the most interesting and imagination-stimulating thing you have ever seen in your life. I want you to use all your powers...and all your skills...I don't want his mother to see him looking like this. (sob) Look how they massacred my boy! Sorry, I accidentally turned into Vito Corleone for a few moments.
Here is the template. I assure you that either your entry, or your brains, will be on the computer monitor. That's a true story.

Now, I'm a superstitious man. And if some unlucky accident should befall this BTC--if it is to be shot in the head by a police officer, or be found hung dead in its jail cell... or if someone should use photoshop or try to change the wording or the Brad character in the third panel--then I'm going to blame some of the people in this forum; and that I do not forgive.
But with said, I pledge--on the souls of my grandchildren--that I will judge this contest in a week if there are over ten entries.
I like to drink beer more than I used to. Anyway, I'm drinking more.
