For this contest, at least one character in your comic must be a statue.  Or a figurine, if you prefer.  "Figurine" is what you call statues when they're small and made of plastic.

If you want your statue to talk, that's okay, but it has to be clear to the reader that it's a statue, somehow.

Enter as often as you like.  Old comics are welcomed.

I'll judge this in about a week, i.e. sometime on Tueday the 16th.  The winner will have the honor of running the next Comic Contest.

Maybe not TECHNICALLY in the rules, but she might as well be a statue.

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

Thanks to everyone who entered.

Four_legged_tripod's "Set in Stone" was an early favorite.  I liked that it used a black-and-white character as the statue.  Might have been funnier without the last sentence -- the reader can figure it out.

Then there was kaufman's "The Obliga...".  Excellent example of kaufman doing what kaufman does best.

But in the end, I'm giving the win to Pandeist, because I thought this comic was just really clever:
