A change of pace is perhaps in order for CC33... no restrictions on what you must or must not use, save for these rules:

1) Each entry must be exactly two comics long. The two strips together should comprise a coherent whole.

2) The final dialogue/thought balloon in each of the two strips must be identical. The speaker, background, etc. may or may not be different between the two.

3) I'll judge this based on humor, creativity, and the appropriateness of the double line.

4) Multiple entries are permitted at your own risk.

5) Since this may be challenging, you have until next month to submit your entries. This contest will close Sunday, June 3rd, at 9:00 PM Eastern. That's 6:00 Pacific, 1 AM Monday GMT, and 6:42 in Baltimore.

In case this is all unclear, here's a little example I whipped up. I'm sure you can do better...

I Dream of Gene by kaufman 5-30-01

After sitting in front of his CRT for too long, Gene suddenly acquires the ability to grant wishes. Hey Jesus, are you in need? As a matter of fact, I am. Now that Comic Contest 32 is finally over ... Do you think you could help me get down?

Ducked Ape by kaufman 5-30-01

Let me see ... Ah, here's the weather section. Hey Gene, the Farmer's Almanac says it will be a long cold winter, so I was wondering ... Do you think you could help me get down?

That explains why I could never get to Baltimore. It's protected by a tear in the space/time fabric that puts it 42 minutes into the future.

Cool contest idea. It is what I had been planning to do if I ever won one again. (Ok, maybe that makes it a little less cool.)

CC33 - A Probing Question (part 1) by DexX 6-01-01

Aaaah, this one should do nicely... I'll just power up the probe, and... oops! What the...? *innocent whistling* OK, be honest with me... you were just looking at my bum, weren't you?

I must be honest - as I post this, the second strip is not only unwritten, but I can't think of a story or joke for it... Curse these misconceived punchlines of mine!

CC33 - A Probing Question (part 2) by DexX 6-01-01

Later, in the alien spacecraft... Okay... we're just about ready to drop our specimen back home. How did the anal probing go? Well, I... uh... urr... not... not as such, no... What? Listen - this mission was launched specifically to get a good anal-probing sample. You know how important this is! I know... I know... It's just... well, he seems to enjoy it far too much... Meanwhile, in the lab... Gr'hkt kusstrkfish v'k'chikksss. OK, be honest with me... you were just looking at my bum, weren't you?

OK, came up with a second strip eventually. Sorry it isn't very good.

Ah, What I wouldn't give for a good Milkman Dan graphic.... by BigMe68 5-13-01

Ya know, I bet you wouldn't be so keen about cutting us down and using us as paper and firewood if we could run and jump and yell and play like everyone else... I sure don't know about THAT, Mr. Tree... You see, that family could sure run, jump, yell and play, but I was still pretty keen about burning their house down. I hate you. They were pretty good at the running and yelling, too.

Part Deux by BigMe68 6-02-01

You can't fool me. I know you'd never be that cruel! What makes you think that, Mr Tree? You're a great guy who takes care of the neighborhood kids. I saw you handing out chocolate and playing hide and seek with them yesterday! As a matter of fact, Mr Tree, that wasn't chocolate. as far as hide and seek goes, let's just say the "game" is more fun when they have a sporting chance to get away. I hate you. They were pretty good at the running and yelling, too.

ok, the first comic was old, but I really liked it, and thought I'd try to use it here... just in case you didn't catch the date.

by the way, did anyone ELSE catch the irony here?

CC #33 Part II by ladyjdotnet 6-02-01

So, what did the psychiatrist say? He said that he can't help me. There are no drugs he can prescribe for your condition? Nope. Nothing can snap me out of the belief that I'm a comb. So, what are you going to do? I'm going to spend the rest of my life ordering hair!

CC33.1 - Pancakes, Waffles and Hookers, Oh My! by gabe_billings 6-02-01

I'd like the Grand Slam breakfast with a side of... Hey! Didn't I see you in the red light district last night? Probably. Was I in a skimpy silver mini-dress and thigh high black boots? Could've been. But the guy whose crotch your head was buried in was pretty tubby and it was hard to see around him. Oh, Councilman Johnson. Yeah. That was me. Hooker by night; Denny's waitress by day. It's a rough life, but I get by. Say, I've only got about twelve bucks... What do you say to a little fling in the men's room? Sounds great. Nothing like a stiff cock to start the day off right.

CC33.2 - Get Stuffed. by gabe_billings 6-02-01

Say there, Henry. I gots me a bit of a situation, and a man with your taxidermy skills is just the sort of feller I need. Well what can I do ya for, Wally? Well there was a bit of a cold snap last night, and my prize rooster was out on the barn and his feet froze to the roof. Poor feller done froze to death 'fore mornin'. Ol' Roy finally met his maker, huh? You'd like me to work my magic on him, eh? Sure would be nice. You stuff him an' I kin prop him up on the mantle, maybe use him as a hat rack. If it ain't too early to start, I'll go grab him outta the truck. Sounds great. Nothing like a stiff cock to start the day off right.

Well, I'm only the judge, so I don't really have any say in this, but anyone who thinks this thing is sealed up should reread the last part of Rule 1.

Other than that, though, you all seem to be warming up to the concept. I expect an outstanding flurry of contenders over the contest's final 24 hours.

They really are a coherent whole... See, the taxidermist is really the hooker cross dressing. And...

Shit.

There's always that one little piece of the rules you miss.
