I like this recent trend of story-contests, so I'm going to continue it.

Dave (pictured above) recently came in to a large sum of money. The how and why is up to you, but hilarity must ensue. Show him earning the money, adjusting to his new wealthy lifestyle, achieving his dreams and/or losing it all.

And, because I don't want things to be too easy, you must use characters (or props) from at least two non-kaddar categories in your entry.

Single comics are accepted, series are encouraged, groan-inducing puns are inevitable.

Judging will take place Wednesday evening.

Devin December 6, 2002 8:59 PM	Aw, couldn't it be about Brad coming into a lot of money? Wait a minute, why does that contest idea sound so familiar...?

User #16352 December 6, 2002 9:35 PM	Stop making these types of rules. They're getting old.

jools December 7, 2002 6:56 AM	Yes. My attention span is too short to concentrate on entire series.

ladyjdotnet December 7, 2002 9:42 PM	agreed. I have bypassed the last few contests because I have not the attention span to do series, and they seem to be the ones that are preferred by the judges. I hope the next judge will encourage brevity.

fuzzyman December 8, 2002 9:30 AM	Bazilla had a habit of seeing my entries in contests and declaring that I would win. Which would inevitably mean that I would lose.

I think it's because a series bombards a person with jokes, and they can really add up. Might I suggest pitting individual comics in a person's series against each other?

fuzzyman December 9, 2002 4:40 PM	Series humor is different because you're not always looking for a big laugh in each strip. A smile and movement of the storyline can do the trick, at least for a lot of them.
Post #75394	link

Devin December 9, 2002 11:10 PM	Yeah, that's the other way to go when you do a series. I guess the depth of the storyline IS a bonus too.
Post #75420	link

jools December 10, 2002 9:15 AM	But in a series you could go for the "sitcom" route, ie. using the same characters in each strip, but with different and unconnected stories, thereby getting one big laugh per strip.

jools December 11, 2002 10:06 AM	Too funny.
Post #75547	link

BigEvilDan December 11, 2002 7:27 PM	Agreed. Due to the lack of large sums of money being sent to me, I'll have to judge this one on making me laugh the most. israphael, you win the grand prize.* *Prize may not exist. Approximate cash value: $0.00
