I've thought of some super-neat-o rules for this one, folks. Thanks largely to DexX's contribution to the CC26 folder.

The rules are simple:

1) You must use either Bongo from Life in Hell or Pants from Jerk City at least once in the comic.

2) Somewhere in the comic you have to use the words "toothpaste," "confetti," and "interstice" at least once.

3) The subject of the cartoon must somehow ridicule people who get silly liberal arts degrees, such as a French / Women's Studies major or (God forbid) a philosophy / linguistics major.

4) Oh, yes. No direct references to other Lowpass strippers. Not even DexX. ;>

Rule 2 may make this contest pretty hard. I'm glad *I* don't have to enter it. Let the games begin!

in·ter·stice (n-tûrsts)
n., pl. in·ter·stic·es (-st-sz, -sz.)

A space, especially a small or narrow one, between things or parts: “There is a gleam of luminous gold, where the sinking western sun has found a first direct interstice in the clouds” (John Fowles).

Middle English from Old French from Latin interstitium, from *interstitus, past participle of intersistere, to pause, make a break: inter-, inter- + sistere, to cause to stand, set up; see st- in Indo-European Roots.]

I think we've found wirthling's first business partner.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

Deadline? Um, Thursday-ish?

The name, by the way, for whomever asked, is "Scy-" (as in "sigh") and ("-ess" as in "lionESS"). I THOUGHT I posted this in the CC26 folder already, but apparently I didn't...
