Hey people. Sorry if this seems rushed but I'll be at work shortly chained to a machine and without internet access (which actually gives me an idea for a contest, oddly enough). Your mission is simply to devise a comic in which man and machine converse with one another. The PC, TV, phone, thing in the background in the lab, or any other kind of machine or device you can scrounge up must be one of the characters, and must speak as itself (a newscast on the TV, for example, doesn't qualify). Here is an example -- I'm sure you can do better.

A conversation lasting only one panel is a legal entry, if it's in the interest of greater funny. Preference will be given to new comics as opposed to anything you might have in your archives. Judging will be this coming Wednesday at (or shortly after) 8:00 PM. Good luck and have fun.

This is what happens when you rush... I was going to disqualify robots, but since I forgot to mention them initially, just try to make them as specialized in function as you can (a robot dish-washer or somesuch, as opposed to just a generic robot). Don't want to make things TOO easy, after all. Again, have fun.

Not an entry, but the the rules and sample strip reminded me of it:

This is an oldie that I really like, one of the first I did after being away for a month or so earlier in the year. Insurance, in case I don't get any good ideas for a new entry.

Wirthling wins!

Oh, wait on... I'm not judging this one, am I?

Well my first comic cup I'm destined not to win but what the hell...

And another one. I like this one-although it was one of my first ones, oh hell with it!

And another...I know no-one is listening to me so I better shut-up before they put me back in...the...the...the room...they're coming they're coming thery're coming they're coming they're coooooooming...yup...oh...aaaah...gaaaaagh!!

PS - We need an ObiJo character.

Since I'm on vacation and have to go in a second, I'll just submit my first strip here, since it happens to meet the rules.

Continuing in my attempts to select unconventional "machines" to talk to in these comics...

I can see where one would confuse donkey semen with milk.

I really mangled that punchline... I really must edit more carefully when I reword dialogue... For those who care, it was meant to be, "Yeah, right! Okay, one more cone, then it's assignment time... Yep, last one for sure..."

I don't know what is the point in sending another 'cos I won't win but I thought it had a certain something.

WOW! Gabe-Bot is the scarier than Gabe! (and thats saying something!)

Oh, and one more favor if you don't mind -- could you come a little closer? I'd really appreciate the positive feedback.

Anyway, my entry.

By the way, wirthling, your comic is the first stripcreator comic (besides one of my own) ever to grace the wall of my cubicle. Many people at work laughed at it.

I still chuckle at it.

31673

Nice one, apejuice! :)

Gabe, I've been alienating myself. I am leaving for a couple of weeks to...well...loosen up! When I come back to the forums I shall change my sig. But should I get rid of my toilet-seat licking bit?

Thats nice Kaufman.

OK, folks -- it's time to judge this puppy. I truely wish I could choose you all and take you all home with me and love you and hug you and call you "George". Unfortunately, only one of you can receive this coveted honor. But first...

Honorable mention to Kaufman (for multiple quality entries). I'd also like to acknowledge apejuice (keep 'em coming, please), Spankling and his powerful love-rocket, and a surprising entry by Crabby.

But the winner is Wirthling, for "You've Got Cancer". This one works at least passingly well on one level, and then brilliantly on another. It messes with my mind, and I love it!

So come here, you! Now get out of here! You've got a contest to run.

Bah, just missed it. Not that this one makes any sense, of course.

LOL Andy. A subtle but worthy entry!

Some sucky rules for CC 58 will be posted shortly...

I decided not to overload this contest and post this one -- didn't think it quite made the grade (which means that according to the WTFTACITOCCTW, this one probably would have won). Still, I think I'll subject any of you still here to it now. After all, I memorized that 5-digit number for just this contingency.
