149 is a special number. 1, 4, and 9 are the first three perfect squares. They are also the relative dimensions of the black monoliths in 2001. Therefore, CC 149 will be all about black monoliths. In particular, you will be required to do the following:

Psssst .... Hey nitwit, this is CC 148, not 149.

You sure?

Yeah, look at the thread titles.

...

Shit. Now I have to think up new rules.

...

Ok, here are some random rules. I trust you folks can have fun with them.

[list=1][*]Enter as often as you like, but each entry must be a series exactly three strips long. No more, no fewer. Any Monty Python fanatics among you can now recite the whole "three shall be the number..." speech, but no extra credit will be given for that.

[*]In the first of the three strips, the weather (your choice of what kind) must play a significant role. By "significant", I mean it has to have some effect on what transpires; just using the word "rain" is not sufficient.

[*]The second strip of your trilogy must include a silly rhyme.

[*]You may use any characters, props and backgrounds. Only ObiJo is permitted to violate this rule.

[*]I'll judge this thing Friday night Stripcreator Time.[/list=1]

Wow, it's so quiet. Only three people entered, and it's getting close to judging time.

If kaufman ends up judging this fairly late, I'll throw my hat into the ring too. (I have an idea, but I also have midterms. :-/ )

Actually only one person has entered, Namgubed and akirajim are my other alter-egos.

Come to think of it, so is Devin.

This competition is challenging, but not too challenging. I like it; I especially like the unincumbered 3rd strip.

Here's my latest entry. (My latest becuase my alter-egos are israphael et al.)

Time to pull an Obi.

Judging is delayed 24 hours because:

1) All the entries have been very good. Even if someone passed on the "hare lip" punch line. Keep thosee cards & letters coming!

2) We've got plumbing problems. First pita, now Scyess have it in for me.

3) It's not fair to pass judgement when a story is half-finished. Wrap it up, Namgubed, or it will count against you.
