So I get CC 250.

250 is, of course, a quarter of a nice round number.

Therefore, this contest will be in four quarters, each with its own rules. You can participate in one quarter, you can participate in all four quarters. You can do something inbetween, or you can go to the Bahamas and not bother to submit an entry. Up to you, but the last option virtually guarantees that you won't win.

The rules:

[list=1][*]This contest runs 180 hours, divided into four quarters of 45 hours apiece.

[*]Which quarter is in effect is determined solely by the time of posting of a comic to this thread. Your comic must abide by the rules of the quarter in which it was posted.

[*]Series are allowed, but no continuity is needed between, say, your first quarter entry and your second.

[*]Depending on the quality of the entries, I may determine the winner of this contest to be one superior entry, or I may select someone who gave a quality performance over multiple quarters.

[*]The comic rules for each quarter are pretty simple, so quit your whining!

[*]Quarter 1: 10AM SC Time Thursday - 7AM SC Time Saturday: The theme is a terrifying monster of some sort.

[*]Quarter 2: 7AM SC Time Saturday - 4AM SC Time Monday: Someone undergoes a major change or transformation.

[*]Quarter 3: 4AM SC Time Monday - 1AM SC Time Wednesday: Entries should be based on something you know more about than most people.

[*]Quarter 4: 1AM SC Time Wednesday - 10PM SC Time Thursday: MONKEYS!!![/list]

CC250: Terrifying Monster by UnknownEric 7-01-04

Welcome to hell, my son. Before I commence torturing you for all eternity, I will answer one burning question you may have. Well, I've always wondered... you, Satan, are pretty damn scary... Why, thank you! But is there anything that even you're afraid of? Courtney Love. Gah!

CC 250: Cindy, The Terrifying Monster -- 1 by biped 7-01-04

You can play in the laboratory all you want, pumpkin, but whatever you do, don't go into the human-to-monster transformation machine. Okay, daddy!

CC 250: Cindy, The Terrifying Monster -- 2 by biped 7-01-04

Well, are you being a good little g--GAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Hi, daddy! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY LITTLE GIRL, YOU TERRIFYING MONSTER???!!! I am your little girl, daddy! Oh. Well, I guess we can just kiss two-hundred dollars worth of brand new back-to-school outfits goodbye. I can still wear the cute little sailor hat!

CC 250: Cindy, The Terrifying Monster -- 3 by biped 7-01-04

Edna, I'm afraid I have a tiny tad of bad news. Don't tell me you let the toaster oven warranty run out again, Melvin... how many times must I remind you -- Hi, mommy! GAAAAAAAA!!!!! MY LITTLE GIRL HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO A TERRIFYING MONSTER!!! On the bright side, however, the warranty on that toaster oven is paid up till next June!

CC 250: Cindy, The Terrifying Monster -- 4 by biped 7-01-04

...so Mom rubbed some ointment on it, and about a week later the rash went away! That was very interesting, Bobby. And now it's Cindy's turn to tell us what happened to her on her summer vacaAAAAAAAA!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!! Hi, Miss Kadiddlehopper! During my summer vacation, I accidentally got turned into a terrifying monster! Um -- and also, I got to go to Knott's Berry Farm! Fuckin' COOL! Will you be my girlfriend?

CC 250: Cindy, The Terrifying Monster -- 5 by biped 7-01-04

All right, dear -- the machine is ready. Just step inside and we'll see if we can't return you to normal. Okay, daddy! That should do it! Am I a little girl again, daddy? Er...not exactly, pumpkin. But on the bright side, I think your pretty new dresses will fit you again!

CC 250: Quarter 1...MJ by maddog00 7-01-04

Man, that horror movie was great. Could you imagine if a monster like that came along in real life? It'd scare the piss out of me. But I know of a more terrifying monster that would scare me. Oh yeah, who's that? Michael Jackson. Hi boys. How about a foursome with me and Bubbles at the ranch. We could play four square...or go fish. Freak

CC one quarter: True monstrosity by NeoVid 7-01-04

The pain!! The PAIN!! HAHAHAHA! Fear me, you worthless victims! Why are you doing this?! Don't you have any human feeling? Isn't there anything that's terrorized you? Well, yes, there's been one thing that's been hounding me all my life... It's why I went psycho. And I'm back! Boo, you bastard! If there's anything that can justify turning into an evil maniac...

CC250-1: There's a monster at the end of this strip (1) by mmyers 7-02-04

Diablo-chicken! We can't go to the end of this comic strip! There's a monster there! How do you know that? Because that's what the title of the strip is! But it says "There's a monster at the end of this strip (1)", which leads you to believe that this is going to be a longwinded, self indulgent strip series. We've got time. Everyone is a director-auteur now, huh? I blame Truffaut for making that style assessable to everyone...and also the guy who made Independence Day.

CC250-1: There's a monster at the end of this strip (2) by mmyers 7-02-04

Great! Now we've wasted a whole strip discussing filmmaking. Time is running out for us, Diablo-chicken! In a way, there's a monster after all of us and that monster is time. And time is the monster that you can't outrun forever. Everyone's strip runs out of panels eventually. Such is life. How about you shut the fuck with the philosophy, Camus, and help me find a way to kill the monster at the end of the strip? I say we run.

CC250-1: There's a monster at the end of this strip (3) by mmyers 7-02-04

*Pant**Pant* We've been running for the past 10 minutes and all it has done is get us deeper into this comicstrip. Yes, it does seem as if there is only grey panel after the next, each one bringing us closer to almost certain evisceration, followed by being painfully violated in the last seconds of our lives. Waitaminute, waitaminute, how do you know that the monster would do that? Everyone has their own demons, Deuce, everyone has their own demons. I say we set up camp here and wait for the monster, maybe take him off guard. The part I don't like about all of this is not knowing when the comic will end. The part I don't like is the envitable nightmares that are sure to come tonight of being eviscerated and sodomized in the last living seconds of our lives.

CC250-1: There's a monster at the end of this comic (4) by mmyers 7-02-04

Deuce, I have some news for you. Be quiet! I'm waiting for the end of the comicstrip. Deuce, this is the end of the comicstrip. Ohmygod! you're the monster??!!!! No, Deuce, I think the moral of this story is that the monster is in all of us, we are all capable of being monsters when we ignore our fellow man. We are all monsters when we ignore our humanity. You're shitting me, right?

CC250-1: There's a monster at the end of this comic (5) by mmyers 7-02-04

Wow, what a strange end to a strange day. I guess I made too big a deal out of the title of the strip and it just turned out to be some philosophical crap. Yeah. Philosophy sure does suck. Let's go to my house and play X-Box. allrite evrybudy, im ready for mi unconsentshal sex rappe, evisiration....guys??? dammit. its teh end of the stirp and there knot heer. i hope mom hasent drove off yeat. MOMMMM!

Make sure you bring us some Oreos later, ok?

CC250: Amazing Transformation. by UnknownEric 7-03-04

And that's why questioning the government should ALWAYS be a good idea. I agree. Dick Cheney! You agree?!?! Darn tootin'. Say, young friend, could I interest you in a drink? There's a great gay bar down the street. Gay bar? What the hell happened to you? TOBOR helped open my mind. And my anus.

CC 250: Where No Nun Has Gone Before -- 1 by biped 7-03-04

Good heavens! I've never been this far from the convent before! DAMN! That's a smokin' hot sexy outfit! Are you a stripper? "Stripper"? I helped Sister Olga strip the paint off the floors in the rectory once... Wow! I'd like to have seen THAT! Nuns on all fours... I'll bet I would've popped a boner! Well, I think I've PULLED a boner. I can't find my way back to the convent. Pulled a bo -- OMIGOD! I think I just creamed my Spiderman Underoos!

CC 250: Where No Nun Has Gone Before -- 2 by biped 7-03-04

So, this "convent"... is that a new strip club, or what? Oh, it's a very exclusive "club!" A lot of the girls don't make it! Wow! I can't wait to find it! Sounds like it's full of hot, grade-A babes! Yes...we are all "babes" in this world, trying to "make the grade." Well, here's "Big Al's House of Lost Women." Is this the place? Hmm...I'm certainly a "lost woman" right now. Maybe Mr. Al can help me!

CC 250: Where No Nun Has Gone Before -- 3 by biped 7-03-04

It's about time you showed up! There's a hundred guys out there with a hard-on for some hot nun action! Goodness! It sounds like lots of people need my help! I'll see what I can do! Here I am, everyone! What can I do for you? TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF, BABY! HUBBA-HUBBA! Well, I don't see what good that will do, but okay -- HOLY FUCKING DING-DONGS!!! UNNGGGGHHHH!!! *fwap fwap fwap*!!!

CC 250: Where No Nun Has Gone Before -- 4 by biped 7-03-04

Sister, you're the hottest attraction we've ever had! I'm signing you to a long-term contract! Gosh, Mr. Al! I feel just like a MISSIONARY! "Let me...entertain you..." "Let me...make you smile!" I never dreamed it would be this easy to help people! And to think...this all started with me pulling a huge BONER! Pulling a huge bo -- OMIGOD!!! I think I just creamed my truss!
