In this contest, your entries must contain everything but the kitchen sink. Specifically:

The words "everything", "but", "the", "kitchen", and "sink" must appear in your comic, in five different text boxes, clearly in that order reading left to right.

What do I mean by "clearly reading left to right"? If all five of the words appear in dialogue boxes, the boxes must be in proper left-to-right order, not necessarily consecutively ("everything" must be in the leftmost of the five, etc.) Or, one of the words may be used in a narration box; if this is the case, the four dialogue boxes in the other two panels must be used for the other four words, so there is no ambiguity in the ordering.

Clear as mud?

You should otherwise have plenty of leeway to be funny. Judging will be sometime Sunday evening in North America, early Monday morning in Europe, and midday Monday in Australia.

BigEvilDan November 8, 2001 9:35 AM	My excessively complicated entries: 42169 42168 I never read anywhere in the rules that the letters in the words had to be consecutive.

BigEvilDan November 8, 2001 7:18 PM	42216 I also forgot that we're allowed non-consecutive uses of the words, bring my total in that one comic to nine uses of the phrase.

israphael November 8, 2001 11:31 PM	This is guaranteed to win. I followed all the rules. See you can plainly see "all" "your" "base" "are" "belong" "to us" incorporated into the strip. 42239 What do mean "everything but the kitchen sink"?

descolada99 November 10, 2001 9:39 PM	42437 Ahhh it feels good to be back entering unfunny comics into comic contests with no hope of winning. I'm starting to get my mojo back.

Bastards!

I spent the weekend in Palm Beach County, Florida, and if that doesn't disqualify me from picking a winner, you folks sure did. I counted at least four contestants worthy of the prize, including as runners-up:

Big Evil Dan and his nasty barrage of puns
fuzzyman with three great comics
Namgubed who found an outstanding rulebender and the best Battleship comic I've seen (including my own (-:)

But somehow hanging under all those chads, this comic snuck in to claim the big top:

Kevin_Keegans_Perm November 12, 2001 8:32 AM	"Misremembered Platitude Trout " Was what won it for ya. I dont think anyone will deny that a phrase like that can become "Cult" with but a few readings. It was exceptional.
