If its all right with the mods, Comic contest! - VGF

Mr.Hammermap · 08-21-2005, 03:11 PM

I was thinking, its been a while since someone made a comic contest, so I decided to make this. The best comic wins! I planning on making it a poll. Now, only if LVK says this is all right (just getting confirmation before it starts) will this contest start. Try to make it a random comic with a joke and a maximum of 6 panels (if thats too little for some people, they can have up to 10). This will end on the 21st of September, so theres a whole month to work on it. Now, get those comics started!

Bleach. People have trouble coming up with comics on their own time.

Me need motivation.

ludwigvan · 08-22-2005, 05:40 PM

Sure, why not, let's rock. Jam out. Do this.

thunt · 08-23-2005, 05:55 PM

Okay, I've got an idea, and joke, I just need to want to do it.

Mr.Hammermap · 08-25-2005, 08:52 AM

The motivation? I have no idea. Knowing that people think your comic is TEH ROCKZORZ!!!!!!!!11 Yeah. Something like that. Other than that, I have absolutely no idea.

Cataclysmic Paradox · 08-29-2005, 08:25 PM

The thing is, nobody wants to go first. But I don't care if I do or not, so here's my entry.

Glyph Phoenix · 08-29-2005, 10:11 PM

You still connect unrelated text bubbles. Bad, bad Jumi Jao's format! *smacks format on nose*

There should have been a frame's length between the life comment and the brick comment."It's-a-me" and all "It's-a-me" subsidiaries and affiliates just don't do it anymore. Bill and Fred's Quazi-Mediocre Adventure sucked all the life out of that one.

Now, this comic had good things. The fact that Leo cheated Mario out of a powerup was pretty funny. And I like Doma in the background. Doma rules.

I guess right now you win by default. But considering the relatively low amounts of humor, someone with half a mind to should be able to blow this comic away.

Cataclysmic Paradox · 08-29-2005, 10:22 PM

I connect the text bubbles like that so everybody knows what order the characters talk in. And I haven't heard any complaints about the order since. So I think it's better than what I used to have.

Glyph Phoenix · 08-29-2005, 11:03 PM

I'll complain right now, if I have to. It doesn't help. It doesn't help at all. I can't see a way how it could concievably help, simply connecting them by a line. There isn't even an arrow of sorts for direction. It can't possibly help.

Cataclysmic Paradox · 08-29-2005, 11:53 PM

They're in descending order, too... You know, it seems like every post of yours just has to have something negative.

Glyph Phoenix · 08-30-2005, 03:33 AM

Well, that last post was just emphasizing that for the love of ROM, connecting bubbles does not make them easier to read. Geez.

As for the one before it, I was actually straining to find good things in the comic. I try to end every review with the good things. "Doma is in the background"? What kind of crappy excuse for a good thing is that? So don't knock my system, or I won't even do that anymore.

**FACE K. POLK** · 08-30-2005, 10:04 AM

Glyph's right, Jumi. Connecting the text bubbles does look kinda weird.

I take that back. REALLY weird.

I don't think it was too bad other than that. I kinda chuckled at "Hey! It was just a coin!".

Justin Minas · 08-31-2005, 02:28 AM

umm... well, it's actually part of a comic series I'm working on...

just wanted to freak you guys out.

That wasn't funny. ;(

***Ace Mercury*** · 09-18-2005, 03:07 PM

For some inexplicable reason, I made a comic too.

Click here to take a look.

Wanted to go for that 'professional' look (i.e. 'doesn't look like it was made by a 12-year-old with Photoshop' look), but it turns out that making something that looks good is hard. ^.^()

**FACE K. POLK** · 09-18-2005, 03:57 PM

Way to show these kids that drawing's okay too, Ace. Bass's face in the last panel is priceless.
