So, Steve Jobs just died. To a father, husband, relative or friend, this may be a bad thing. To the rest of the world, a celebrity death is just an opportunity to make jokes.

In this CC, pick a celebrity death of your choice and make a funny comic about it. Here's a modest example that I did back when Randy Savage died...

Old comics are OK as well. Judging in two weeks-ish.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR JUDGEMENT:

Honestly, it was a tie between the following two strips:

/comics/four_legged_tripod/496546/

/comics/choadwarrior/529166/

Originally, I thought it'd be cool to have the two winners come up with a contest idea together and go from there, and if the person I picked to break the tie still wants to do that, then more power to them. However, for the sake of simplicity, I did choose a tie-breaking element...

Wait for it...

I went with the one that was made specifically for this contest.

So, congrats goes to choadwarrior for his touching tribute to Don Lapre!

So choad, you can either come up with the contest on your lonesome, or share the duties with four_legged_tripod, the choice is entirely yours. Take it away!

choadwarrior October 17, 2011 6:54 PM	Well, hot damn! Thanks for the nod, Zman. I previously voted the Gary Coleman strip as Good, so it's nice to beat out a comic I thought was good to begin with. I'll whip up a new contest in the next day or so.
