In honor of the late Douglas Adams, this contest is about combining science fiction and humor. No, I don't want you to regurgitate lines and characters from Adams' novels. I want you to be original in making some sort of commentary about humans, aliens, robots, computers, space travel, or physics. I know that this is the subject of much of our comics, so I will make some rules to make it a bit tougher.

1. Use "robot1-1" and/or "robot1-2" from the "explodingdog" series at least once. Any other characters can be used in addition to robot1.
2. Use any of (and only) the following backgrounds: "spaceship1," "moonscape," and "planet." No other backgrounds are permitted.
3. Somewhere in the dialog (or in a thought bubble) of your comic, include the number "42."
4. No cornholing, donkey sodomy, or alien anal-probing. (Use of sodomy that does not include the Tobor [redrobot], wigudonkey, or grey characters is acceptable, though.)

This contest will end Thursday, July 5, at 10pm EDT.

Haights June 30, 2001 10:14 PM	Well, divine inspiration struck. Then I threw it out and made this. 24178 "yon ju ni" is 42 in Japanese; I have sources to back me up on this.

NeoVid July 1, 2001 1:10 PM	Your entry's just fine, Doc. People have won contests by breaking the rules before. Anyway, true to form, I used the first and most obvious idea I could think of... http://www.stripcreator.com/view.php?ID=24230 24230

Dr._Light July 1, 2001 10:17 PM	Um, I'm pretty sure I'm not Gabe's mom.... (checks self) Yup, not his mom.

DexX July 2, 2001 3:06 AM	http://www.stripcreator.com/view.php?ID=24301 24301 It was a toss-up between the Combedibot and the Comeditron... oh, and it was the Comedibot 5000 until I realised I had forgotten the 42. The word "cornhole" is mentioned, but only because it specifically does NOT involve RedRobot/TOBOR. Hopefully that will be acceptable.

I guess that does it for "yo mamma" jokes. Please, by all means, mock her... She only gave her life in an attempt to save a busload of Peruvian schoolchildren from falling off a cliff to certain death.

gabe_billings July 2, 2001 2:51 PM	Umm... my mom just called and said if I don't stop lying about her she's gonna stop sending me money in my birthday cards. That thing about the Peruvian schoolchildren was true, though. Only it wasn't Peruvian schoolchildren; it was our cat. And it wasn't falling of a cliff to its death; it was locked in the closet. But I'm sure it was very bored and happy to be out.

wirthling July 5, 2001 11:33 PM	Sorry this is late, but I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days. I'm still miserable, so I'll make this short. Winner: Gabe Billings, for his prequel to "Cowboy Physics." Congratulations. By the way, you numbered the comic wrong in the comic title, dickbrain. Numbers are not your strong suit, are they?
