Any newbies interested in a baptism of fire?

I reckon if you can make people laugh with the two default asian girls and no background, you're on to a winner. As I'm relatively new here myself, I'll start us off with this one. It's not a contest, just a good practice.

I'm sure somebody can do better than that.

I don't think the asiangirls are underused. They're in far more strips than, say, the elephant, the fly or the Civil War characters.

And as soon as I've said that, I look through my comics and notice I haven't got a single one with just the two girls (not that I could find, anyway)! Maybe you're right after all.

This one has a background but I think it's the only one I've done with the default girls...

And DrPedantic can just bite me about cocaine not being a crop.

Andy, I suppose they are used more than the characters you mentioned, but I always seem to pass them by without even trying to use them. I'm just interested in seeing what a completely level playing field can produce.

I'm bound to get tied up in knots with this minimalist cartoon shit, and end up trying to create funny cartoons with just one asian girl, no backgrounds and no text. When this happens, shoot me.

Or, worse, no backgrounds, no text and no Asian girls! There are actually several strips like that.

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

That one's at least got a title which justifies the content, though.

OK, shoot me now.

BANG!.

Actually, I kind of like that strip. However, you did technically use backgrounds.

I suspect kaufman is the only one who might be able to derive meaning from that one.

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Or was that supposed to be gingivitis?

---
"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

I just took the various symbols in the narration to represent the sounds you make when you're suffering from halitosis.

My first contribution to the recent "putrid pile of arse" thread used the default Asian girls and no background. I won't post it, because... uh... I have my reasons... *ponder*

This signature has performed an illegal operation and has been shut down.

Actually the yellow strip is plaque, and the symbols represent evil smelling bacteria.

Here's one, a sucky one.

Mediocrity at its most average.

technically it is

just its refined for use

a friend of mine walked through cuztoms recently stuffed full of cocaine merely because it hasnt been refined yet

you can also drink it in tea form, prepared like the leaves

Only because when I first worked with a computer, everything was stored on paper tape. In case you don't have a reading knowledge of tape, the three narration bars read:

10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD."
20 GO TO 10
30 END

Well, I think DrPedantic would probably say that coca is the crop and cocaine is an extract from coca leaves. Cocaine is merely one of the products that can be extracted from coca leaves.

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

NastyPope and crabby both did excellent Asian girl strips as per my rules for their round in Comic Cup III. I was more partial to crabby's, myself and had there been a tie, that's where I would have placed my vote. C'mon guys, show us your asian girl strips!

but it can be extracted from more than just coca

or at least the active ingredients can

trust me
