Don't worry about it. What's done is done, and there's no reason to dwell.

Since Spanks won't be able to check until Monday, I'll hold off on actually posting any rules until then. I wouldn't want to give evil_d that kind of advantage in terms of advance knowledge. And kaufman, I *will* use your rule since you took the time to send one. This goes for any of you who still are supposed to submit one, as long as you do it before I post them for the final round: DexX, crabby (who is probably in a barrel about to go over Niagra), DH-01, NastyPope (if you care to at this point), skagg...

Hell, I'll even take submissions from the judges considering the circumstances. Just check my profile for the e-mail link.

How about the contestants? I'm thinking, um... the strips must contain the letter 'e' at least once.

Final Round

Spankling vs evil_d

Well, the finals are upon us and Spankling meets evil_d in a rematch from the first Comic Cup. Who will emerge victorious? (Quiet Spanks!!!)

Here are the rules that the two must follow...

1. Say something extremely complimentary about your opponent (kaufman)

2. If two characters are in a frame together, they must have their backs to each other. If there is only one character in a frame, they can face any direction. (DexX)

3. All captions (narrations, I'm assuming?) must be 7 letters long. While while this wasn't stated in the e-mail, I'm going to take it that this person was also suggesting that you use all three narration boxes. (name not given in e-mail)

4. The 3rd frame must have a text box that starts out with the phrase "And the moral of the story is:"

5. Use two different backgrounds in this comic.

6. Reference a bizzare fetish.

You have 48 hours to complete the strips. May the best stripper win!

How do we do this? "And the moral of the story is:" is more than 7 letters.

---

The captions (narrations, in the yellow boxes) are 7 letters long. 'The moral of this story' should probably go in a dialogue (white) box. Or else yes, the rules are gimpy.

---

A person can say "The moral of the story is:" in a white box.

Needless to say, they should follow this up with something.

If I was in this contest, I would have to forfeit. My ethics prevent me from saying anything nice about anyone else here.

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

Except, of course, how much you missed me. You've been blathering on about that for awhile now.

The threesomes just weren't the same without you. Spankling never could figure out how to fellate two men simultaneously like you did.

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

Oh... so that's why you always refer to him as "The Wide-Mouthed Frog". I was wondering...

I'm gonna submit something with 7-letter yellow boxes and dialogs as long as I want. If I get stomped I'll pretend I didn't understand the rules.

Wait... seven lines? Aside from the fact that I'm not even sure how feasible that is with the 200-character limit, and aside from the fact that there would be no room left for dialogue (not that I could possibly have anything left to say after seven lines of narration), that really screws up the vague idea it's taken me more than a day to come up with.

I'm with Spankling. I'm just gonna post what I want and then pretend I didn't understand the rules.

Huh? How would that even work? How would you fit seven lines in those yellow boxes?

Honestly, I must have just misread the submission, since I had just woken up. But I don't understand how you can fit seven lines in the yellow caption boxes anyway.

---

Kaufman, those are line segments. You're disqualified.

I actually started thinking about making a strip with such lengthy narration. It would have been a parody of Prince Valiant. Sir Spankling, in the Days of King Arthur! But now that I find that wasn't the intention after all, I think I'll go back to my original idea, which may not be able to deliver defeat as quickly as my opponent expects it. Nice work, by the way, Spankling.
