I've been giving CC 500 some thought.  In my opinion it's a pretty big deal as 499 other ccs have come before this.  So I've been thinking of what we could do to celebrate how big this moment is.  So, I've decided that we're going to make BIG ASS comics.

The thing about stripcreator is that there is a limited amount of characters and backgrounds, so it appears that what can be done with the comics is limited.  That's why, when someone uses a background or character in a fresh way, it turns me on.  The other part that seems limited is that you seem to only have the option of making 1, 2, or 3 panel comics, but since we will be making BIG ASS comics, we will be bumping up the comics to 4 panels.  "How?" you ask.  Let me explain.

Your 4 panel comic will be in the form of two, 2 panels that will be posted together in one post.  I'm not looking for a 2 comic series made from two different 2 panel comics.  I'm looking for something like this:

/comics/four_legged_tripod/538350/

/comics/four_legged_tripod/538351/

You could even break the title of the comic into two to connect them as much as possible.

If you want to make a series that's fine.  Each entry of your series just needs to be 4 panels each.  I had also thought about making it a rule that the number 500 needed to be somewhere in your comic, but I decided to only make it a suggestion worth bonus points.

I want to get as many entries as possible so I'm giving this two weeks or 500 days, whichever comes first.

With that said, take it away!

It appears that I've gotten ahead of myself and am trying to host cc 550 as well.  Just a slip on my part.  My apologies to all. I will try to encorporate proof reading into my life soon.

So I decided to mark this momentous occasion by paying homage to the often-imitated Cowboy Physics with my entry (also a nod to to boloboffin's oft-homaged Why Family Circus Is Only One Panel comics).

As a man of my word, I let this drag out a full two weeks.  Now it's time to get down to business.

 

Special recognition goes to bigworm who has now learned to "bundle" his comics.  Here's hoping you continue this on into other posts.

A tie for third place goes to ZMann and 100Faces for bringing back rotor turbines and Randomly Appearing Snowman.

 

A tie for second goes to kaufman for his nod to the Bradys and edoggydog for his Iceberg comic.

 

But the winner all by himself is mandingo for

/comics/mandingo/538383/

/comics/mandingo/538384/

creating two long panels with the art and backgrounds.  I dig that.

and for his Inception style flashback within a flashback:

/comics/mandingo/538742/

/comics/mandingo/538743/

 

Congrats be to you!
