...or Back to the Future. Whatever.

For this CC, travel back to the past, warn yourself or someone of some important future event and then take us back to the present to see how things play out.

Series? Yes.

Single panel? Unlikely, but impressive. Yes.

Also, you don't have to use yourself as the protagonist. That's just the jumping off point. Now strip!

Groovy! - ABORT!! ABORT!! by edoggydog 5-29-12

January 11, 2005... What's this? A website where I can create comics based on my hysterical sense of humor? Suh-WEEEEET! Don't do it, man! I know you think you're funny, but you'll be opening yourself up for ridicule and- FUUUUUCK YOOOUUU!! Present day... Groovy! Hey, Brad... Come check out edoggydog's latest comic. This one really SUUUUUUCKS!!

Here's your single panel, umfum. I did this as three panels originally but it worked just as well with one. Which is to say, not that well:

CC 556: Back to the Slammer

Doc, wait, did you say somethings gotta be done 'about' my kids, or 'to'?

by Smurph, 5-29-12

I told my past self to make this comic, and enter it in a Comic Competition that was made in the past.  I consider this sufficient justification to include it here.

CC390: Self-Awareness by ZMannZilla 5-28-08

Egad! You just came out of nowhere! What gives? I'm you from the future! Now listen carefully, because this is very important... Sell all your Apple Inc. stock, convert the cash into Euros, and re-invest it in Atari Inc. And stockpile canned pineapple. When did I... August 2013. Transex-4-Less was having a double coupon sale.

"He was cursed with a horrorshow of a face, like Guiseppe Archbold doing a study of mollusk tumors."

My past self would like to further elaborate with this past Comic Competition entry that is vaguely related.

CC469: Untitled Comic Competition Entry by ZMannZilla 2-05-11

Saturday, November 12th 1955 10:03:57 ...and DONE! Prepare to go back to the future! No Doc, STOP! There's something I HAVE to tell you! Saturday, November 12th 1955 10:03:59 I told you, Marty, I can't know about the future, it's too dangerous! No, asshole, it's about me - you set the flux capacitor for three seconds into the paaaaaaast!!! Saturday, November 12th 1955 10:03:57 ...and DONE! Prepare to go back to the future! No Doc, STOP! There's something I HAVE to tell you!

CC556: Molly and Mohammed by fpd 5-29-12

Molly, I'm you from the future. Don't make a cartoon about advocating Everybody Draw Mohammed Day, or you will have to go into hiding for your life. If I can do it by time traveling, that could be a lot of fun. It's not like this is Doctor Who. I'm just projecting a hologram from the future. I see. How does that work? Circa 1400 years ago I am the true likeness of the prophet Mohammed. No, I am Mohammed!

Real Life: Future Self Warning by four_legged_tripod 5-29-12

It's just the right thing to do. She's pregnant. I know that once I agree, it will be the same thing night after night. It would make an honest woman out of her... Stop! Don't do it. Years from now you'll look back and realize just how sick this decision will make you feel. Trust me, you'll add years to your life by saying no to this. Thanks future self! Now that I think about it, I'm not really in the mood for your meatloaf. Let's just go out to eat.

Double-Biff Clam Paradox by biped 5-30-12

Biff, it's me--your future self. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT order the clams. But I love clams. Chuh--I KNOW you love clams. I love clams. But take it from me--DO NOT order the clams. FUCK YOU, ME LOVE CLAMS. WAITER, ME WILL HAVE THE CLAMS. EPILOGUE How did you know I was just pulling a funny time-joke on you?

So, you're saying I shouldn't go to the job interview tomorrow? Yeah. Yeah, I should go, or yeah, I should not go? Depends on whether or not you want to get your nards crushed in a runaway hot dog cart accident... Can you be a little less vague, me from the future?
