| The economy's been in a funk too long. What business needs is a good military undertaking. | |

The rules of this contest are simple. Choose a point of view that is at best unpopular, at worst ludicrous, and use the stripcreator medium to persuade readers to that position. There is no requirement that you believe in the position you are presenting. Matter of fact, we probably hope you don't.
Judging will be roughly on the basis of (A * B) + C, where A represents how unpopular, indefensible and ridiculous the position taken in your strip is, B represents how persuasive the presented arguments are, and C is a function of the creative and appropriate use of the characters and props to present your "argument".
Multiple entries are welcome, but too many lame entries may dull the judge's opinion of your clever one.
Entries will close precisely 72 hours after this message's timestamp.
