I thought it would be a cute idea to have a semi-serious contest where we talk about all the nice things that we have to be thankful for and are optimistic and everything.  Then I thought nah, that's horrible, scratch that.  I just wrote that to make the little preview window look stupid, anyway.

My CC ideas usually suck, so I'm just keeping it simple this time.  It's Spring, so it's vacation time.  Okay, most people don't take vacations in the Spring, but I don't care, that's what "sprung" (ha ha) to mind and I'm sticking with it.  So, make comics about vacations.

Rules?  Ehh.

Judging in a week or two, depending on how many people either enter the contest or deliberately make me feel bad by not entering it.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

It's time to judge this contest and announce the winner, so I am going to do that now.

Thanks to everyone who participated.  To me, you are ALL winners!  Not technically, of course, but in a sort of an abstract way that doesn't really count.

3rd PLACE goes to four_legged_tripod for his "Mystery, Inc." series which brought back old memories of how much I hate "Scooby-Doo."

2nd PLACE goes to mandingo for making a comic that had a funny part in it right at the end:

And the winner is--BIGWORM for this old-fashioned chuckle-inducer:

Take it away, BIGWORM!

Ok... well... I've got to say I've got somewhat of an iffy reputation in comic competitions so far.

I won one, I think 'cus I was the only entrant.

The OPC I started after winning the one that I was the only entrant in, garnered all of one entrant itself!

Anyway, I will be back soon to see if I can start a CC in which no one enters, not even my one alternate account.
