Here's an idea that has been kicking around for a while, which I've been elected to put forward:

Now that we are in another new year, it's time to find out who were the best new users (n00bs, newbs, noobies, whatever you want to call them) who joined Stripcreator in 2003. This will be a quick contest involving only comics created in 2003 by those who joined in 2003. If you joined prior to 2003, but created an alias in 2003, you are not eligible!

Here's how the contest will run:

I'll post a topic, and you PM me the comic number of what you think is your best comic in that category.

All comics submitted must have been created in 2003--no new comics will be accepted. Once the deadline is up for PM's, I'll post the comics and voting will commence. If you don't get your comic PM'ed to me prior to the deadline, then you sit out that round.

Voting is open to anyone. At the end of the voting period, a winner in that category is declared and the next topic is posted with a new PM deadline.

At the end of the contest, all votes cast will be tallied and whomever receives the most votes during the contest across all categories will be crowned Best New Stripper of 2003. The categories will be general enough to ensure a wide array of strippers can participate.

Right - so seeing as this contest needs to start off somewhere, so did all the n00bs who joined in 2003.

The first category is "Best First Strip." PM me the first comic you made on Stripcreator by midnight GMT (13:00 hrs stripcreator time) Wednesday.

Thanks,

Jes, and the rest.

Well, posting this in Comic Showcase instead of RMDC or Comic Competitions should keep it below the radar of some of the riff-raff.

Well, it looks as if these are all I'm going to get so, 12 hours early, here are the entries for Best First Strip

The giant three-phallused phallus of Uzbekistan will one day squirt the cosmic jizz of revenge all over Canada.

I'm going to have to go with Choadwarrior.

Mediocrity at its most average.

I hope there is a 'most improved' category or something!

I joined on the 17th December 2002, and am ineligible by a fortnight. Besides, I'm moderating this here shindig.

I vote for my man mmyers. Too bad I joined in 2002 or I could take part. Except my first strip is fully arse.

My vote goes for Inflatable_Man

In my own defense...I used the word "wang" before it was popular.

Inflatable_Man has my vote.

MikeyG-Mine would be most improved for sure.

teh inflate.

Poop.

I say... choad.

Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist.

I liked 'em all (even Rabid's!), but I thought Choad's was the best.

p.s. Kinda surprising that more people didn't submit comics.

---
Think classy, you'll be classy.

Oof, it's a toss-up between mmyers and smamurai. I'll say...

smamurai

---
I ate a hooker half a bottle of knife.

I'll go with mmmmmyers!

I also liked choadwarrior's and smamurai's ("five babies and lighter fluid" sick, man.. very sick :) alot.

---
Destroying my reputation one post at a time.

Hmmm...I will have to say it's a three-way tie. Inflatable_Man, choadwarrior, and smamurai kicked ass on their first ones. Laughinginyourface, you may just be a runner for most improved. Jes needs to make a category called 'Consistently Awesome', because I would swipe that category out from under y'all!

I dare you to try.

Yes, my first comic was...interesting. It's from an actual mIRC conversation I read. Since that's where Jerk City gets a lot of its content, it seemed appropriate. Maybe as "best imitator of a real comic" it would win.

As for favorite of the batch, mmyers gets my vote.
