OK,

I just went through and picked out a couple of characters I personally have never seen used before...Jesus and Satan. No, just kidding. Let's go with:

Characters: Any toothgnip from goats
Any robot1 from exploding dog(the small feller)
One Occurence of the elephant from Dexx

No other characters can be used. Also, the occurence of the elephant is NOT mandatory, just an option.

Background: 2 of the 3 panels MUST be moonscape. The third can any other background, and can be implemented in any panel of the strip. Also, the 3rd can also be moonscape if you want.

Let's say that it starts when this posts, and ends at 7pm on Tuesday, just to give those people who actually work for a living a shot. (The suckers. ;)

Name your comics: Comic Contest #2 followed by whatever title you want. Also, post it to this message board. gabe should be responding on how to do that for foolios like me.

I'll submit one too for fun, but unlike gabe, I will be grading mine and will surely win, maintaining my tight fisted control of the grading process until the entire world bows to me. On second thought, I'll disqualify my comic. I'll also wait till Tuesday 7pm to read them all.

Have fun,

-ObiJo

Rather than try to explain it myself (and screw up a post trying to write out a UBB tag) take a look at the front page of lowpass and scroll down about four posts.

There's one dated 2/5 that explains it.

How to post the comics here:

NOTE: In the examples I give, replace the curly brackets - "{" and "}" - with the straight brackets - "[" and "]". If I used the straight brackets, then the UBB tags would not show here. See http://www.lowpass.net/forums/help for help on UBB tags.

To create a link to a comic: {url}paste url here{/url}

You can copy the URL from the address window of your browser.

example: {url}http://www.lowpass.net/stripcreator/view.php?ID=4098{/url}

This gives you:

http://www.lowpass.net/stripcreator/view.php?ID=4098

To post the actual comic:

{comic}comic#{/comic}

The comic# is found at the end of the URL - "...ID=4098"

example: {url}4098{/url}

This gives you:

4098

It's as simple as that...

Also see http://www.lowpass.net/forums/help for other UBB help...

Ok,

Thanks wirthling. I think I get it. You are my html guru. I also studied your page to learn hrefs. (Plus did alot of copy and pasting.) For someone who has no tv, you'd think I'd already know html. If it wasn't for my old nemesis, porn. (Still awaiting that aardvark picture by the way.)

Be advised, HTML tags won't work in these message boards - you have to use UBB tags...

I don't know UBB or html, but I do know paint by numbers. So I'll just follow the format you put up. Seems pretty straight forward.

Use brackets '[' instead of curly braces '{' and leave out everything except the number between the tags.
