OK, this is my first ever template. In case you don't know the rules: Fill in panels 1 and 2, in the third panel you may add a character in slot 5 plus dialogue but you must leave the rest (Butch, his dialogue and the morgue) as it is. Go for it!

I'll judge this competition in about a week.

Meh, not my best work. This was kind of a hard template to work with.

Well, it's almost time to judge the whole thing. I see that the template hasn't been very inspiring, but I'll give you another 24 hours or so and would really appreciate a third entry. So best wishes and good luck!

I know the template wasn't easy, so thank you for giving it a try. And here are the final results:

1st: the burninator

2nd: Boring

Congratulations!

Aww, dammit. I mean, thanks. The last (and first) time I won a BTC, only one person entered. So, hopefully the new contest won't suck so much ass. And it'll be up soon.
