It looks like Chicka's not going to show, so I'll start this off. Because of crabby's big event, CC 102 will have an extra component. To win, you have to submit at least one comic adhering to each of the following sets of rules:

[list=1][*]Take a well-known work of fiction (book, movie, play, whatever), change some event in it, and show what happens as a result.

[*]Write a comic describing some aspect of the experience of fatherhood.[/list=1]

If I was unclear, I'm expecting separate comics. No need to cram both themes into one unless you really want to.

I'll try and judge it Friday morning stripcreator time.

Ack! I was waiting for a response from you on ICQ!!

Ack, you guys aren't gonna scrap this contest now, are you? I just wrote up my entries!

Heh, anyway, this one's for the first rule:

(I only played the N64 game, so I hope it follows the plot well. :-) To digress a bit, I actually did kill 006 prematurely in that game, set off some bombs a bit too early.)

Here's for the second rule:

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

Blended the themes over both comics.

You think you oldbies are so tough, huh, taking care of both requirements with one comic??? Well, take THIS:

A pretty obvious one, considering that modernizing Shakespeare seems to be in style.

P.S. - I apologize in advance for any offensive language, stereotyping, inaccurate slang translations, etc. that exist in this comic.

How about apologizing for not reading the rules?

These four strips are based on Greek plays that tell different parts of one continuing storyline. The first three also deal with fatherhood. The first strip is based on "Iphigenia at Aulis" by Euripedes. The remaining three are based on the Oresteia series by Aeschylus. The larger context for these plays is the Trojan War, which Homer has written about in the Iliad. Each strip is named after the play it is based on. The change in plot occurs in the first strip, and the remaining strips deal with the aftermath of this change.

All the others stories the strips here are based on have been made into movies except Iphigenia at Aulis and the Oresteia series. I'm just saying I don't think one would get your's unless they went and read 'em.

Worthless, but what the hell.

If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no luck at all. D'OH!

What, did I miss a rule somewhere?

"Take a well-known work of fiction (book, movie, play, whatever)" (Hamlet by William Shakespeare), change some event in it, (Take the ghost scene, bump it up a few hundred years, and change the setting to Brooklyn) and show what happens as a result. (Amusing miscommunication)"

"Write a comic describing some aspect of the experience of fatherhood. (Stereotypical miscommunication between parent and child)"

This is usually done in college in an introductory course on the western classics. Kaufman's entry in the last contest included a chorus, which led me to believe that he is familiar with Greek drama. Also, he has been to college and is even older than I am. So I think odds are good that he has enough familiarity with the plays I used.

Anyway, if you want movies, "Iphigenia at Aulis" was made into the movie Iphigenia (1977), and "Agamemnon" was made into the TV movie Agamemnon (1973).

As for the strips based on movies, I haven't seen Goldeneye, Memento, the Matrix, or Pulp Fiction.

Well. My soon-to-be-dead sidekick just tried to reason with LadyJ. This should be entertaining.

I thought "mudda fuckin'" was your fatherhood-related bit.

Also, he has been to college and is even older than I am. So I think odds are good that he has enough familiarity with the plays I used.

I've seen all four of those, but in most cases long enough ago to have forgotten a bunch of the details.

However, I grew up on Mad Magazine, and learned that having seen a movie was not a prerequisite for enjoying a funny movie parody. Similarly, if people do a good enough job, I'm sure they'll win the appreciation of both the judge and the other readers.

Upon reading kaufman's rules for the eighth time, I can see why it's okay to submit one comic. I guess I glommed onto that one part too much. My bad. Sorry.

I'm just too lazy to do two comics and choose to glom the themes into one.

No, wait! It's the challenge... yeah, that's it... the challenge of doing a comic with both themes. That's the ticket.
