That's been used, I'm sure Lara and I had to conform to that one.

Okay. How about this instead:

Match 10: gabeite vs. the men

Your mission: We'll have a brief intermission from the main story. For this match, present us with an amusing explanation for TheBlairZip's absence.

Your rules:
1. From Haxx0r_K1ng: the setting of the strips shall be a fantasy medieval-age science fair.
2. From Namgubed: each comic must contain one of each of the following backgrounds: plain (solid colorrs, diesel, none, splitter); photo (taken from actual photo); drawn (bedroom, apocalypse, etc.)

I know I'm an idiot, but who are the men?

Oh, nevermind.

In an effort to prevent this contest from moving any faster than absolutely necessary, I have to state that I am currently out of town and only have sporadic computer access. I'll be back in the swing of things on Monday (Dec 9) and can collaborate with Nate to put together a kickin' ass entry then.

Sorry for the delay, but, hell... I know we're all used to it by now. At least you know it'll end on Dec 9. 8)

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

What the fuck is a fantasy medieval-age science fair? Is that like a school science fair where everyone dresses up they're at a ren fair? Or an actual medieval fair where people get together and discuss how to turn lead into gold and shit? Or what? Or does it really matter?

I think any of your suggestions would do.

I just flew in from Phoenix, and boy, are my arms tired. Entry forthcoming.
