In some ways we already do this, but it might be fun to make it a little more structured. How about we start a serial comic? Basically we get a list of all the people interested in participating and somebody starts it off. The next person in line follows with a comic of their own, and so on until we loop back to the front of the line.

We'd try to stick with the same characters and plot line, but develop things a bit more than you could in a single comic. We already saw this happen with the beautiful 'Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road Saga', we just need to keep one going.

It couldn't be any worse than Brenda Starr or Mark Trail or any of those other lame ass comics that no one reads. (My apologies to any losers out there who read those comics. wirthling. (Ha! I actually put that slash in front of the second cough. I was gonna take it out but it's a testament to too much time spent on the computer.)

So... thoughts?

I'm all for this idea, even if it will end in a pile of totally incomprehensible comics... ;)

What do you mean end? They're going to start out confusing and incomprehensible, or else we're getting lax in our comic abilities.

Incidentally, I theoretically have the power to create new forums if you guys want to put your games in separate ones. 'Sup to you.

I'm in, but didn't this fall through due to lack of hustle when I suggested it a month or so ago? I seem to remember the discusions took it up to the point that we'd create a cycle of writers and keep going in order of the originl however-many and just tack on more people at the end of the cycle. I don't remember much else about it, and I'm too lazy to dig up the thread...

But, anyhow, yeah, the only thing that'd bar me from something like this would be if Al Gore's entire internet suddenly became non-existant.

PS- I didn't mean any disrespect at the beginning of this post, and also wonder if you're going to instigate a thread for prospective writers to "enter the fold", gabe.

Also, Black & White is the biggest killer-of-time I've encountered since Beer and Counter-Strike.

Well, let's see. How about:

1 part sodomy
1 part pink donkey
1/2 ounce dementia
3 tons Maura

{{Oh, Maura. You WILL be mine. As god is my witness, you WILL BE MINE!}}

Everything goes better with sodomy, I always say, right before the sodomy...

I want to know what you say during the sodomy.

Because, personally, I'm running out of conversational topics during sodomy. It's so embarrasing I think I'll just start getting the spa and cucumber facial, but skipping the sodomy.

OKay I'm going with the Exit Only sign here.

I'm game cept for that part, and the fact that my comics are normally stupid and have no meaning whatsoever to anyone but myself.

Theoretically? Come on man, either you do, or you don't! I thought you were God. Now I see that you're nothing more than a man who might be able to make a new forum.

For shame.

Sorry. Just felt like ranting. Anyhoo, that might be pretty cool. Granted the chunk of people that participate in the comic contest probably make up about 98% of all the posts to the message boards anyway, but it might be nice to stick the contests off by themselves.

Anyone else got any thoughts on the matter?

Ok. I decided to take charge and get things started. Check out the new thread 'Serial Comic'.
