Okay, kids. We're jumping from the Industrial Age to the Space Age for this one, and going with a sort of future thing. The rules are as follows.

1. You must use at least one robot (Clango, Red Robot, the Exploding Dog robot.)

2. Any other characters used must be non-human and also not a creature that actually exists. We're all smart enough to figure out which are the fanciful ones, so I'm not going to bother listing the acceptable ones.

3. All props are allowed.

4. All backgrounds are allowed, but use your judgment as to which ones are best in keeping with the "future" theme.

5. To encourage thinking outside the box (or panels, as it were), and because I don't feel like going through 30 strips about ass-sex, anyone using Red Robot must NOT use him as the Tobor character.

Corrolary to 5--no sexual references, period. Making jokes about anal probing from alien abductors is like shooting fish in a barrel (especially if Tobor is doing the probing), and I'd like to see some less obvious gags.

Good luck, have fun, no eye-gouging, fish-hooking, or groin-kicking, and I will announce the winner in about 72 hours (or so.)

CC77: Never Forget by fuzzyman 11-04-01

Our mission to save the humans has failed. Though they are dead, we shall remember them. We must never forget them. Yes... we must never forget them. I SAID... WE MUST NEVER FORGET THEM!! Sorry, I was on the crapper. Never forget the humans. Gotcha.

What?!?! Just waitin for the green light before I cross. You mind?

Point of order. Elephants still exist. Bunnies that wear bras do not, as such. Being funny is another matter.

Ah... but do TALKING elephants exist? eh? eh?

Okay, I screwed up. When I got around to doing this I remembered the non-humans part but forgot the "not a creature that actually exists" part.

Damn, that was a good gag, too.

Good Night by Spankling 11-04-01

The green dragon and the gray master faced each other on the bridge of the ship; both frozen in terror! Their worlds hung in the balance! Who would make the first move? Finally the dragon attacked! His great bulk sent the ship tipping out of orbit! They collided with the second moon and upset the balance of that entire spiral galaxy! Everything perished. The end. Do you expect me to go offline after that story? Tell me the one about the Mainframe that cried backup and restore!

I hope my use of "bugs" as a physical representation of a technical term is acceptable.

Comic Science Contest 77 by kaufman 11-05-01

In the not too distant future ... Hello, Servo, are you and your cohorts ready for our next excruciating experiment? Sorry, Dr. Forrester, no can do. Joel and Crow are out on EVA fixing a thruster, and won't be back till dinnertime. Ok then - a special experiment. Rather than a movie, let's see how you respond to these awful comics we found online... AIIIIIIEEEEE! We've got Comic Sign! moh. Oh jeez, what a lame ending. If you want to invoke the name of a Stooge, Curly would have been much funnier!

Hey, there's a trashcan filled with medical waste from the year 2002. I see a CPR dummy. I wonder if any baby harp seals are inside? One way to find out ... Still hard to tell. Was that a flipper?

CC77: But wait-- it's an all-new episode by boorite 11-05-01

Earth. My tour of the galaxy is done. Traveling at .99c, my chronometer has ticked off only 60 years. But on Earth, 60,000 have passed. I get signal. Main screen turn on. "I'll be theeeeeere for yoooooouu" Sweet mother of God. Another lap around the old Milky Way, then.

I guess I'm making up for all those CCs I skipped.

Because the Punt is the Lowest Form of Humor by kaufman 11-05-01

Here at the LunaDome, Super Bowl CCLXXVII has been a real thriller. The Titan Tennessees lead 24-23, but the Ganymede Packers are attempting a 247-yard field goal. The kick is up ... Really, Herb, we should talk to the Robots' union. This goalpost gig is just plain demeaning.
