For this comic contest there is only but one simple rule:

- Make a comic that isn't three panels long. Two or one panels are fine, just not three. (Fill in the unused panels with the "black" background.)

What about two, you ask. Sure, I say. And one, you offer. Fine, I say. How about two plus one, you ask, quite stupidly in my opinion. No, I say, and send my manservant to beat you.

Multiple entries are accepted. Judging will take place Monday evening sometime.

Here's an example of one panel:

And here's an example of two:

My first instinct was to black out the left and right panels and plagiarize^Wrecreate some classic Far Side. However, more ethical minds prevailed, and produced this piece of crap:

Just for the record, I thought of this before I saw Kaufman's steaming pike of poo. This is my own, original, steaming pile of poo:

...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.

Clarification needed: if the black panel is in some way essential to the humour of the strip, does it count as only having two panels?

Zero is less than three.

If someone steals a panel from one of my comics, then I'll have a comic containing -1 panels. If this happens, I'll enter it.

Three is more than zero.

Needless to say, that's not an entry. But I'll say it anyway.

I'm sure you were the first person to think that one up.

I'm not sure. I'm guessing that my entry will be disqualified, but I wanted to eh... stretch the envelope.

NO. It counts as three. You can't use the black panel as part of the gag for this one. I won't disqualify any of the ones above, I'll just judge them by mentally deleting any black backgrounds used as a third panels.

Wow, what timing. I had just written this one before finding out about CC72.

Wished I had come up with the 3D idea. (I can always steal it later.)
