•The levels MUST be in story mode.
•The comics can be drawn.

POINTING SYSTEM:
•Creativity (1-10 points)
•Funniness (1-10 points)
•Characters (1-10 points)
•Plot (1-10 points)

Hmm I'm thinking about it. Idk if I'll help you judge, or be a participant. But I do have one question nonetheless: Do you have to have more than one comic strip for your entry?2010-08-23 23:52:00

Nope. All your entries have to be focused around a level. That just means you can spread the level out over a couple of issues (but the issues can be as long as you want).		2010-08-23 23:54:00

Well, even if I do participate, I'm gonna need to find some time to put together a comic, because I have school... so I think I'll have my decision by... either later tonight, or tomorrow.		2010-08-23 23:57:00

I got an idea that should be pretty funny

Do you just take photos and put them together? because that will be easy for me to do

So count me in, I will try to enter but I have alot of stuff I am already doing 		2010-08-24 09:54:00

You can use photos, make it in the real world, draw it, whatever! As long as it follows the rules.		2010-08-24 15:25:00

I just finished shooting the photos and maybe some bouncers and some dude, too...
Maybe you already guessed which level I used
It will be a quite long comic, it's the whole level.
Now I just have to edit everything and make it awesome...

EDIT: TEH COMIC HAS ARRIVED!
I split it in four pictures, it would have been too hard to edit if I hadn't done that...
Some things aren't really that funny since I just put all my pictures in a row and added the text that came into my mind...
Yeah I'm lazy...
Here it is anyway...

That is because this contest is themed around Beginner's Tale, which its current plot is about a newbie's adventures through story mode. 		2010-09-08 12:49:00

Nice job!
Also, due due there being only two entries, I decided to move the due date from September 11th to September 30th. Get cracking guys!		2010-09-12 17:26:00

I was quite disappointed with there only being two entrants, good thing the deadline is moved. You can't really have 3 prizes with two entries
Hopefully we will be getting more entries... SUBMIT ENTRIES PEOPLE!		2010-09-13 12:21:00

I refuse to judge unless there's at least 4 entries... even then it'd be kinda pointless... xD2010-09-13 18:58:00

I'm trying to find any time I can use. unfortunately that has turned out to be none. I'm going to work on it this weekend.. since I have a three day weekend As a matter of fact, since my brothers have school and I don't on Friday, I think I'll start then.		2010-09-21 02:54:00

Sorry for the double post, but theres only 2 days left, and it seems like people aren't really interested. Seeing as how there are only two entries, I guess this contest is probably canceled, unless like 3 come in in 2 days. However I will still hand out the XP prizes. So um yeah..
