Okay, so this is my first go... bear with me while I make a complete tit of myself. I'm going to keep it simple, because basically I don't want to give myself a headache and I want people to like me.
Okay, I don't really care if you like me...
After surfing around for a bit, I found muse in Scyess' signature, linking to a page full of quotes where I found this:
quote:
"CAUTION!
Be very careful of false, meaningless, self-contradictory, and not even very funny warnings, like this one."
I kinda liked that, it made me giggle. So, without further ado, here are the rules for 135.
1) The whole joke must revolve around a warning or caution sign of some kind. It's entirely up to you what the warning is and whether the warning is the setup for the joke or the punchline itself.
2) No puns or in-jokes. No Tobor, Wirthling sucks, Dr Pedantic et al. And no smart-arse references to them, either (Yes, I read the "TABOR WILL CORNHOLE YOU" entrant a few weeks back...).
3) If you use any of DexX's art for regulars and forumusers, they can't actually be those forumusers in the gag. (Using the Wirthling head to represent DexX, though, is totally fair play).
4) Try and steer clear of jokes like those in my own comics. I want to see what makes you laugh within the rules... not what you think will make me laugh. Odds are good you'll not hit my mark if you try for that humour.
Not a requirement but it would be kinda cool... try and fit the number of this contest into the joke, too. Bonus points for it.
Okay, that's it. Hopefully these are as simple as I think they are...
Hope to it! =^_^=
