No one made a comic with the secret situation which was a hypnotist counting backwards as he hypnotised someone. Like this:
/comics/four_legged_tripod/592324/
So coming in 3rd was a tie between
/comics/kaufman/591968/
and
/comics/Makin_d_bacon/591970/
with kaufman getting bonus points for setting his in Europe.
2nd place goes to RCLG for this gem:
/comics/RandomComicLayoutGuy/592219/
but the one that got me for the originality of the countdown usage was:
/comics/umfumdisi/592259/
So umfum, the contest is yours. Take it away in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
