It's time for a new competition. I decided to make it a relatively simple one.

Your mission (if you choose to accept it) is to:

1)Use a children's story or nursery rhyme as the basis for your strip.

2)Use at least one of the forum users character. Extra points if you include some aspect of their character.

Try to avoid the stock pieces of humor (ie, Tobor cornholing, wirthling sucking, and bad spellings of Lousiania). I thought of outlawing puns, however I know that neither Kaufman or Kramer_vs_Kramer can't resist.

Multiple enteries are acceptable. So write early and write often. The competition ends at noon time (Pacific time) on Sunday and I will announce the winner that afternoon. Happy Stripping!!

Ha ha! I beat you all to magical comic number 42894! Suck it, losers!

And I should get the bonus points here, because Gabe is in fact a ginger-assed poofbag...

42898

Enter the Kajun!

42922

This is not out of line, I hope. I just found this place and from what I can tell this is fairly tame.

42926

The poem is a direct quote from Mother Goose herself. She knew some wild folks, I guess.

Because you'd be crestfallen if I avoided punning completely ...

42928

Hmm, what other children's story springs to mind with a forum user character named Big Evil Dan? Gosh, I wonder...

42927

And it's not like you didn't see this one coming three miles away.

This one needs some explanation for those who have been here only a few months. Skagg was the one who came up with the Comic Cup, and refereed the first one. Unfortunately, he vanished off the face of the earth for a couple of weeks right near the end, and the whole thing took ages to finally be recolved and a winner declared. Some ill feeling remains with one or two regulars. *grin* Here is my own take on the topic...

I thought you didn't want to win this one?

Please excuse the epic, but since I was mutilating one of my childhood favourites, I felt I should at least do a thorough job of it. Apologies to Maurice Sendak, author and illustrator of Where the Wild Things Are.

These just keep getting better and better! Must be because mine was in so early.

I mean this in an admiring way. . .

42985

42988

This is the most work I have ever put into one of these contests. Hmm... 10 minutes of stripping for an idea that took me 6 seconds.

This is for beating me to the punch with a "Baldilocks" strip.

I should have created this before I looked to see if anyone already had done a Georgie strip - then I could have tried to claim originality at least...

*sigh*

And now for the obligatory rule bender...

Good news. Bad News. Bad news, my server was out all day due to periodic maintenance, so I'm late with my results. Good news, it gave me extra time to decide the winner. And it wasn't easy. There were a lot of great strips to choose from.

The ones I really liked included:

For the record, I would have also accepted: heater, greaser, or rod in place of gat.
42922
Hey, I'm a sucker for strips containing Spankling!
42928
Well weren't the function of chidren's stories originally as precautionary tales?
42937
Now who doesn't think Spankling would a great babysitter?
42985
Defensive was always my favorite drawf.
42988
Stick it to the mouse!
43291

Spontaneous combustion, I mean honorable mention to the following strippers:

Bogart - Good use of a relatively obscure nursery rhyme.
Namgubed - Nice filthy strip - I like.
Dexx - A good extended version of one of my favorite Maurice Sendak book

But there can only be one winner, and that winner is:

42937

Congratulations ObiJo. And thanks to all those strippers who submitted to me.

"Little Fuck Horner" didnt even get an honorable mention.

God thats embaressing. That puts me on a level with Crabby ffs.

My little series contained a bit too much history, I think.

*ponder*

Come to think of it, anyone who has been here for less than three or four months would hardly understand any of it.

Oh well...

I'm so glad my image to take others so far.

*sigh*

Now you've done it. You've encouraged me. Beware. I may post again!

I still say Gabe is a ginger-assed poofbag.

Cool, thanks israphael. I'll think up a contest idea and put it up in the next day or so.
