Maybe it's been done before, maybe this isn't the right place to do it, but I'm newbie enough to go for it anyway. It occurred to me that some settings are just the perfect background for just about anything. Jesus, nightclub stage, microphone. Everyone has to try it at least once. I took it a step further, Cuthulu, nightclub stage , microphone ... Cluthulu, Jesus, nightclub stage ...

I hear the screams - It's been done!! Yes, but let's see how many ways it's been done!! Show me your best. Here are the rules:

1) The background is restricted to curtain1, curtain2 or curtain3

2) Characters are restricted to Jesus, Cuthulu, and Microphone. Any combination, and you can use just one character in a panel, you can indicate voices from the audience using no character, and you can use the same character twice in the same panel.

Here's my first entry:

Play Misty For Me by NotJohn 9-29-01

Look at me ... I'm as helpless .... ... As a kitten up a tree ...

This is my favorite so far. You're a sick, sick, person. I like that about you.

Who knows what fear lurks in the hearts of men? MIKE BOBSICO KNOWS! And if you give him a decent tip when he delivers your mail , he might tell you.

I was torn between just ignoring the flame, or saying "bite me lamer".

This is not intended as a competition. I personally have no interest in saying anybody's work is any better than anyone elses. In a similar spirit to the "Asian Girls" thread elsewhere in this forum, I am simply interested in seeing other people's variations on a similar theme.

Sorry I made it too difficult for you.

Sorry, I wish I hadn't taken that cheap shot. Actually, I like this one:

We shouldn't mock people unless they do something really stupid. Unless they're wirthling. In which case by his nature he's always doing something stupid.

As for making comic contest like threads, why not? We don't have an official Stripcreator rulebook to follow, so everyone whatever the heck they'd like. As long as it includes making fun of wirthling.

Casey Jonesin' by kaufman 5-30-01

In the wake of the Supreme Court's Casey Martin ruling: At long last, I'll be able to live out my dream of competing on the international beauty pageant circuit. Thanks to the Supreme Court, what might to others be an advantage will be made available to me in order to level the playing field due to my disability. From now on, I'll be able to compete while wearing a bag on my head. Nice swimsuit!

This was before the curtain background came into existence, so Wall2 was the nightclub/podium.

Please excuse skagg. He gets upset when things aren't done precisely the way they were always done before. But he's great to have around when the situation demands wisecracks most of us are too polite to make.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

Made Scientists and Made Beds by ObiJo 9-30-01

We don't have an official Stripcreator rulebook to follow! So everyone... Whatever. The heck? They'd like you to tell a few jokes. You are on stage, you know. Ever hear the one about me sleeping in the most comfortable hotel bed you can imagine? No, wait, that's not how it goes.

"Life Sucks, Then you Die. The bit inbetween isnt very funny either"

I'd like to thank everyone for their support - and heh, KKP, really liked that one!

Again, I didn't really think of this as a competition, I mean, which comic is best? That's like asking ... which is better, "Starry Night" or "Le Joueurs de cartes"?

Anyway, since 1 picture = 1K words, I'll save a 3K words and say ...
