I thought it would be a cute idea to have a semi-serious contest where we talk about all the nice things that we have to be thankful for and are optimistic and everything.  Then I thought nah, that's horrible, scratch that.  I just wrote that to make the little preview window look stupid, anyway.

My CC ideas usually suck, so I'm just keeping it simple this time.  It's Spring, so it's vacation time.  Okay, most people don't take vacations in the Spring, but I don't care, that's what "sprung" (ha ha) to mind and I'm sticking with it.  So, make comics about vacations.

Rules?  Ehh.

Judging in a week or two, depending on how many people either enter the contest or deliberately make me feel bad by not entering it.

Vacation Stress by ragu4u 3-21-11

You all have to stop the screaming & fighting & yelling. Do something Marge. This vacation is sucking, bad! After a slight adjustment... Now...this is much better. A peaceful drive on the open road. There's a woman & 4 kids dead in your bathroom. Not again? Haji....you got another "Clean Up" in the Ladies room.

CC472: Must supply own water by evil_d 3-24-11

The following are verbatim quotes from the travel brochure you got: "No amenities" ... "ideal site for stargazing" ... "peace and quiet like you've never experienced anywhere on earth" ... Look, Betty, a man can only go to Disney World so many times. ... "plenty of campground on the shores of what locals call the 'Sea of Tranquility'" ... Okay, I admit that one should have been a clue.

Lady J vacations in Dubai with her cat, Fluffy... Well, Fluffy..? Wow. Are you going to take a shit or not? I've never seen so much sand before in my life! So..? So, this place looks like one giant litter box, and I can't decide WHERE to take a shit...

CC 472: R.C.L.- The Crabs Are Wild! by bigworm 3-25-11

This isn't exactly what I had in mind for vacation... I walk a hundred miles underwater to this lovely resort... ... but at least I have a can to crap in. ... just to find Bozo crapping in my casita!

Time to break out this oldie but goodie while my brain's on vacation...

Luckily, she doesn't hit in real life by kaufman 5-22-05

So, how was the trip to Charleston? And what happened to your face? Oh, that? My wife smacked me. You see, we'd been driving for 9 hours, we were almost there, and she wanted to stop somewhere and use the bathroom. That hardly seems grounds for assault ... Yeah, well, it was pretty empty country; we didn't see any place good to stop, but then we drove past this building marked "U.S. Vegetable Research Laboratory." Don't say it ... Don't say it! So I said to her, "Look, we can stop here and you can take a leek ..."

Mystery Inc by four_legged_tripod 3-30-11

So what are we going to do for Spring Break? I thought we could act like the Scooby Doo gang and travel around solving mysteries. Well, you do look like Shaggy. And you could be Velma! Why, because my orange sweater accentuates my man tits, or because I once cradled your balls. I was going to say it was because you are a nerd and you have the glasses for it, but the rest holds true as well.

Mystery Inc by four_legged_tripod 3-30-11

So have you found a mystery for us to solve yet? There is an unsolved murder at the Henson house over in the next county. That sounds perfect. We can head over and be there by tonight. Eww. Is that a picture of the victim? No. I'm just uploading a video of your mother participating in German shit porn.

Mystery Inc by four_legged_tripod 3-30-11

Tell me again why we're doing this for our vacation? Because it will be fun. As the Velma character, you'll get the satisfaction of solving the crime, and as the Shaggy character I'll get to fuck a girl like Daphne. But Shaggy doesn't fuck Daphne. Then who does he fuck? Across town... Why did I just feel a creepy shiver run through my butthole?

Mystery Inc by four_legged_tripod 3-30-11

This is messed up. I'm walking through the spooky house and he's no where to be found. AGGGHHHH!!! Shit! I just saw a ghost! That was no ghost. I had lured the next door neighbor girl into bed and she ran off with the bedsheets on her head. I thought you said you were going to go eat something. Duh.

Mystery Inc by four_legged_tripod 3-30-11

Come here little girl. I'm not going to hurt you. Let's just take off that bedsheet. Oh shit. You're really the killer. Yep. And I bet you now plan to anal rape me and then kill my limp defenseless body. I wasn't at first, but you bring up an interesting scenario.

Mystery Inc by four_legged_tripod 3-30-11

Dude? Where are you? Down here. What the hell happened? Long story. You must avenge my death. Avenge your death. Got it. Oh, and send him some flowers first. Best lover I ever had.

Mystery Inc by four_legged_tripod 3-30-11

Um, about that avenge your death thing... Yeah? I'm gonna have to pass. Nina would really like to get back on the road and do some more stuff before our vacation ends. Nina? Get your rock hard cock back in the van before I dump you for the guy in the hockey mask!

CC472: Fantasy Dude Ranch A-Go-Go by ZMannZilla 3-30-11

Oh, boy, I'm so excited! This fantasy dude ranch is going to be the best vacation ever! Yup! Two weeks of driving cattle through hostile terrain is sure a great way to relieve the pressures of cubicle life! Hey, Mel, I just got word that our trip is going to be delayed. Seems the cowboys in charge of our cattle drive haven't returned from their vacation yet. Well, that's a fine howdy-doo! What exactly would cowboys do with a vacation anyways? I landed th' dad-gum Emerson account fer $85K! YEE-HAW! Im'a put that bad boy on th' Q1 spreadsheet right now!

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

It's time to judge this contest and announce the winner, so I am going to do that now.

Thanks to everyone who participated.  To me, you are ALL winners!  Not technically, of course, but in a sort of an abstract way that doesn't really count.

3rd PLACE goes to four_legged_tripod for his "Mystery, Inc." series which brought back old memories of how much I hate "Scooby-Doo."

2nd PLACE goes to mandingo for making a comic that had a funny part in it right at the end:

cc472 by mandingo 3-21-11

where we going, dad! vacation time, boy! we's hitting the desert! and grab the dog wait... is this just your way of ditching the dog in the desert? no, no, the dog's grown on me *SCREECH*

And the winner is--BIGWORM for this old-fashioned chuckle-inducer:

CC 472: It's All About Elliot! by bigworm 3-23-11

Dad says we're going to see Elliot Gould's scrotum again for vacation this year. I know... that's bullshit!!! What do you mean you kids don't wanna' see the scrotum? But dad... we've seen it already. We wanna' see something different. Like what? Disney World? No! Like Elliot Goulds' cock!

Take it away, BIGWORM!

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

Ok... well... I've got to say I've got somewhat of an iffy reputation in comic competitions so far.

I won one, I think 'cus I was the only entrant.

The OPC I started after winning the one that I was the only entrant in, garnered all of one entrant itself!

Anyway, I will be back soon to see if I can start a CC in which no one enters, not even my one alternate account.
