That'll just about do it, I think.
I was pretty pleased with how this contest turned out. I handed out a lot of "good" ratings. I thought it was especially interesting that so many people chose to use a part of the background as their non-human character; I had expected to see mostly animals and a few props.
And now it's time to announce the winner. But first, to keep you all in suspense for a little longer, let's list a few Honorable Mentions.
The Marlboro Man Award, which comes with a coupon for $500 off a tracheotomy, goes to four_legged_tripod for:
/comics/four_legged_tripod/530539/
The Calvin's Dad Award for Best Use of Character goes to edoggydog for:
/comics/edoggydog/530668/
The Alexander Ivanovich Dubrovin Award for Excellence in Comics that Require Knowledge of Russian History goes to kaufman for:
/comics/kaufman/530832/
But as good as those comics were, you all got your asses beat by biped, who turned in two excellent comics, either one of which would be a worthy winner in its own right:
/comics/biped/530842/
/comics/biped/530531/
Congratulations, biped! Now give us a comic contest that doesn't taste like it was made from some crappy mix.
