Disregard my idiocy, it was late when I posted. This is the REAL contest thread.

Well, thanks again to cancer, I won a CC. And now I must judge a big number for a contest: 200. I don't want to mess it up, so I'll ignore that completely and run a totally normal CC.

Ok, so as some of you know, I'm an AMAZING musician. But lately it seems that I'm not actually capable of doing anything good with, er, music. So, here's the contest:

Your strip must be about a misunderstood artist. Any kind of art is fine, as long as it doesn't involve man-rape. Ok? No Tobor. NO TOBOR. The misunderstood artist and his problems must be the focus of the strip.

Bonus points for making it about a musician or a clown. Or both. Especially both.

Oh yeah, I'll be judging this little ditty on FRIDAY MORNING. I will be at concerts every night this week and all weekend, so you better make me laugh really hard, because I'm going to be really tired.

UnknownEric July 30, 2003 8:12 AM	Well, since the rules said nothing about not using oldies but goodies, and since as a part-time indiepop musician and former rock critic (for the muy illustrious Buffalo News... no, I can't say that without laughing) I have strips about musicians coming outta my ying-yang, here's four of 'em. Hope you like. 119292 119293 146185 And using the whole "misunderstood" concept kinda loosely... 123283

flickguy July 31, 2003 1:57 PM	(I can't believe it was boinky who reminded me...) I have a few old ones that I'm not proud of, but they seem to fit the bill for the contest. That way I don't acutually have to make an effort to enter later. 28357 28359 28534

Ok, I'm judging now because I must drive for ten hours tomorrow. It's 3 AM here, which is morning enough for me.

Right then.

This was very nice to judge, because there weren't ten thousand entries, AND I still laughed.

First off, Bargaintuans Tobor strip made me laugh really really hard. However, I will stick to my rules. I saw that strip in my head and figured somebody would do it, but it was much funnier than anticipated. Good job, Barg.

Ok, onto the three finalists.

Rabid_Weasle for Student Art Film.

Kaufman for A Space Symphony.

NeoVid for Things You Can't Complain About.

and the winner.....

163666

It was just such a crazy idea and "plot" that it had to win. I laughed, then I read it again, then I thought about how ridiculous the whole thing was, yet oddly intelligent.

As they say at the shoplifters convention: "Take it away, Kaufman, preferably hidden in your pants."
