POLL: Open Mic Contest Still Open

The reason I haven't submitted is the same as one of the big reasons why I read this comic (or submit to any public medias): because you can do it better than I can, so I leave it up to you.

The laws of time and space really have been thwarting me.

I have a comic drawn, the kind of comic one might draw after being figuratively assraped day after day by a soulless aluminum plant, but time barely let me do that. I finally bent time over my knee yesterday.

I'm still stuck in West virginia on a long, draining business trip. Unfortunately I left my scanner at home, so space is still in my way as I have to return home before digitizing these marks on this paper thing. I hope to conquer that Friday, sometime after lunch.

Expect +1 entry late friday or early saturday.

If I entered sooner, you'd have more time to send me hate e-mail.

I'm working, I'm working! You gave us only a week, and I have a comic of my own to update also. :)

(No, you've never heard of me. But I'll have a submission for you on time.)

In Response to themysticalone (#35185):

you could use my scanner; virginia's not far from west virginia. you'll need to start off going east...

I am beating my head desperately against things in my house, trying to get an idea.

And now you tell me horse rape isn't okay, so there goes that one.

In Response to CHastings (#35191):

i don't believe he said "no horse-rape", but only that was the reason you didn't submit. perhaps you want the horse-rape cartoons for yourself. damn you, you selfish bastard. Share the horse on horse on sheep action with everyone!

Bah. I've actually gotten decent with Blender [blender.org] (decent enough to render a dialog between, say, Fish and Idi Amin, anyway), but I got bupkis for ideas. Nah, that's not the whole story. My bupkis has bupkis for ideas. And I don't have enough time. And that FUCKING pig won't leave my poor little melon alone. Bah!

Sweah to gawd I'm on it right now. Scanning... scanning... checking contest rules... blah blah blah...

In Response to AsphaltBuffet (#35195):

Ah shit, yeah I guess I should have read that closer before burning this incredibly intricate drawing of a horse fucking Jon.

But I do have something. My partner in crime just has to get home from work to ink it.

In Response to AsphaltBuffet (#35190):

I have conquered space. I now have no need of Virginia, but thanks for offering.

In Response to themysticalone (#35203):

no problem. i had a great idea and the text all ready but just didn't have time to set down and draw anything before sunday. and that was too late. i may just do it anyway and host it on my site.

In Response to AsphaltBuffet (#35211):

Gaah, I suck. I had a week and a half off work and didn't draw a damn line. I do have a strip plotted, though, so I may just come back here and post it in script form. Gotta check the books and remind myself of the names of the girls we haven't seen in the strip in two years, though...I thought a nice "Meanwhile, back in our home reality..." strip with a self-indulgent use of a couple of my own characters would be fun. Potential infidelity and teleportation are involved...

In Response to Paul1963 (#35212):

Why check the books? You can find many of them here [goats.com]. And then, of course, there's Lori [goats.com] and Lauren [goats.com]. And Lynda [goats.com].

Wow, have we really not seen Lauren and Lori since '03 and Lynda since '01? What've you got against women whose names begin with L, Jon?

In Response to Paul1963 (#35212):

mine was more of a "lost strip from yore" sort of idea...

In Response to AsphaltBuffet (#35214):

Mine was more of a "What will annoy Jon the most"...

So I didn't bother.

In Response to zamphir (#35216):

Life must suck when you make up your own rules and still lose.

In Response to AsphaltBuffet (#35214):

Mine end up using elements of Gary's article [fleen.com].

It would have taken me way too long to draw anything I wouldn't be embarassed to submit. That's one of the reasons I gave up drawing comics a while ago.

In Response to danav (#35226):

as you saw in my video game project, my drawing skills would be indistinguishable from a 3 year olds. but there's a point when you realize that you'll probably never see most of the people on here and if they really want to mock your drawing skills, then you just say "Screw you, Deerboy."

In Response to AsphaltBuffet (#35232):

Hey, I had to say something [goats.com].

I stand by the results [goats.com].
