Actually, it's quite simple.

Take the last non-series, non-contest comic you made before this contest was posted and turn it into a series. You can enter as many times as you want, but each comic has to follow your last entry as part of the same series. For a valid entry, you must make at least three comics in addition to the original one you made before the contest.

Just to reign it in a little bit, you must mention, refer to, or otherwise imply the existence of two the following at least once each:


  • something having to do with unemployment
  • something having to do with infecteous diseases
  • something having to do with something really loud

I won't be more specific than that, since everyone's last comic will be different. I'll be lenient on what your "last" comic is if you happen to voilate the fine print or something, but not too lenient. For my own reference I'll note that at the time of this posting the latest comic on the site was #141056.

Judging will be 'round about Friday-ish. I will select as the winner either a whole series or an individual comic within a series. Go for it.


Standard Fine Print


  • Stay away from jokes about other SC strippers and forum in-jokes such as TOBOR, wirthling sucking, Cowboy Physics, etc. They're old, they're tired, and many of them weren't funny to begin with. So even though they're technically allowed by the rules, I will not find them funny. So you will lose.

To get the ball rolling, since my last CC entry was an (accidental) rip-off, I'm entering god-damnéd blog comics. They may be crap but at least they're original - this was pretty much what happened when I went back to visit my oldest bud, the Monkey Boy, in sunny Belfast at the weekend.

I pray that this was the last comic I made before this competition started, otherwisae I'll have to do a series about Crap Jokes My Dad Told Me...

Damn, this nice 'n' simple contest is kicking my ass. Turns out the last non-contest, non-series strip I did was a strip ALL ABOUT Stripcreator in-jokes (violating the repeated rule in all contests de Sycess). So I had to go WAY BACK (snicker) to mid-March to find a single, one-off strip not done for a contest that I could turn into a series. Sheesh. What the heck happened to me?

Series coming soon.

Man, this contest wasn't as much complicated as it was hard. I think there was a reason why I only did one of the original. Ah well.

This'll teach me to make comics while pissed up on booze.

Also, for rules compliance I'd like to state that the fact that it's Boorite in the comic is irrelevant, and shouldn't contravene the rule about SC stripper jokes.

This was the last non-contest non-series comic I made before this contest, and sure, it's based around an SC in-joke, but the other comic I made waaaaaay before that made no sense really.

As for SC-users, not one is named in this strip, and Spankling is playing the pope, so they're just silly looking characters, no matter who they resemble.

Well...this is the last non-series/contest one I made turned into a series...unfortunately, I read the rules long after it was posted so, technically, the first comic was written after the rules were POSTED. I hope you will be lenient with that as I made the fucking comics. Fuck me running.

I made it five because that is the most that the post will allow and I am too lazy to make another one.

Hah...I just looked at the last one I made before the rules were posted that match the criteria...Fucking february twenty seventh. It doesn't matter though as I wouldn't have been able to do dick with it.

I had to go back nearly 3 months to find one that wasn't an in-joke, about an SC'er, or a cc entry. And, unfortunately, the last one to clear the criteria for this cc sucked. But, here goes....

BTW if you haven't seen Multiplicity, this already-frail joke won't make much sense

Amazing how much unused homor potential all our strips have...

And like everyone else, my last strip was about something against the rules.

Well, it's over. Congratulations to all those who had the balls to enter -- I thought most strippers wouldn't.

I liked almost everything, but I especially liked

These individual strips:

"15 Short strips Near or Far from Nowhere" by crabby
"Number 6 - Mr Kidney" by Chooby
"Delightfully Ambiguous" by prsb
"Physics? We don't need no stinking physics! ver. 1.2" by MaxPayne
"I'm Probably Not The First To Do This Joke - Part II v1.2" by Rabid_Weasle

And these series:

UnknownEric's -- especially the skillful wrap-up
Chooby's
k_v_k's
Kajun's -- especially the twist ending

Especially the 2nd place series by Rabid_Weasle. Excellent, especially the second and last comics.

But in the end the one I liked best was an entire series, for its well-executed idea (although maybe not the most original):

140439
141801
141803
141804
141807

So punkrockskaboy is the winner! PRSB, you have 'til Tuesday to post a new contest, at which time it goes to Rabid_Weasle. Great contest, kids.

I can't believe that a contest round-up that contained the word "especially" so many times didn't end with me winning.

Great contest idea though Scyess, I enjoyed myself.

Well, if this were a personality contest, he certainly would've finished dead last. But it's a contest de la funny, so since his entry was (arguably) the best, I had to let him win.

Not that you even entered, you lazy bastard.

Thanks. That was the goal. (The goal certainly wasn't a contest that was easy to judge, as I found out today to my dismay.)

You sure do put the stupid in stupified, Life. Not only can you not get a title to be uniform that you've been using for 95 comics, you started at #10? Where's da beef?
