So, when I first thought about this contest, I thought I'd do someting where I give out one rule, but then each person to post changes that one rule to something else, and the next person has to follow that rule then change it again, etc.

But seeing how the last contest I did seemed to implode upon itself from what should have been simple concepts being misunderstood, I'm going to do it this way:

 

Your comics have to be about people misunderstanding what they are told, either because it's been passed along and warped like the "Telephone Game" most of us played in elementary school, or whatever reason you can think of.

Bonus points if you can work the phonesplitter background into the comic without overdoing it, or bonus points if you can use the phone prop.  You get nothing except a virtual slap across the face if you use bth of those together in the same panel.

Ha!  Two hit combo!  I entered this strip in the last contest as well.  It didn't win but hey, it's still in-theme!

Barring a sudden swell of interest, I'm judging this on Friday.

All right!  Judgement day is upon you!  And by you, I mean your comics.

This was a difficult one to judge.  Despite the relatively low number of contestants, they were ALL funny, even RCLG's entry.  Speaking of RCLG...

RCLG wins 3rd place for this comic, if for no other reason than the phrase "Don't create balloon animals where you have sex with three-year-olds."

2nd place is a tie between ZMannZilla for this comic:

/comics/ZMannZilla/538662/

and bigworm for this comic:

/comics/bigworm/545235/

Both were solid entries, and both made me laugh equally as much, so you two have to share the non-existent second place trophy wife.

 

But the big winner here is mandingo.  While his two-parter aptly titled "Telephone Game" was hilarious, it was this entry that cinched it, because now I can't get that damned song out of my head you sick fuck:

/comics/mandingo/545407/

Take it away mandingo!

thanking you!

i'll put up a new one... now
