and the winner is... -mArc-!

Seriously how can you top the example cartoon :p
FRinGesJan 26th 2004, 13:11
Can Canada join?
[-mArc-]Jan 26th 2004, 13:26
Ups, forgot about the Canadians :P Yeah, you can join, but if you win, you might get US sets/games.

The example comic is drawn by edel and won't take part in the contest due to partiality on my side ;)

[crap deleted] don't try to annoy people while on a school connection. Some robot might just go crazy and mail the CCSF computer staff.

Well I suggest you learn to spell! "Stevep" "TOLD me to TOLD you"

Its going to be impossible to draw like that...
futuramaMADJan 26th 2004, 19:17
no its not gonna be imposible, I took art for a GCSE i live in the UK and my drawings are all futurama and Ive done comics in the past.
P.S Im only good at drawing futurama and the simpsons. (futurama rules)
StarmanYotolyJan 26th 2004, 20:30
And where in the contest does it say that the drawing style has to mimic Mr. Groenings? I say the heck with conventialities! Do your thing, and if you win, you win because you did your own thing.
futuramaMADJan 26th 2004, 20:50
good point, its all about story lines, I wasnt tryin to brag...
[-mArc-]Jan 26th 2004, 21:19
#7 noted that right. You can use your own style if you want.

Since I was asked via email:
Rule number 4 means that only comic strips which haven't been around on the web before are acceptable. We want the contestants to give something new to enjoy to the rest of the Futurama fans.
AndieJan 26th 2004, 22:23
Bribes will go my way ;)
BenderBendingRodriguezJan 26th 2004, 22:56
Aww, I wish I could draw. I'll at least try anyway.
t0mJan 27th 2004, 00:29
I got a pretty good idea but I have 2 problems.
1. How long should they be?
2. How do we get them to you?
edelJan 27th 2004, 03:01
They can be any length you like, as long as they're at least 3 panels long. You can get them to mArc by scanning them and emailing them to him.
SpeliJan 27th 2004, 13:08
Great, as soon as my scanner conks out this comes along...
t0mJan 27th 2004, 15:09
I got a good idea but it will be the size of an actual comic so I doubt I will finish in time...
OtisPJivefunkJan 27th 2004, 20:00
I've got two ideas, but since it's only one per person, I'll just have to waste one of them...

Anyway, I've decided which one I'm going with, and work has started.
t0mJan 28th 2004, 04:11
This is SO cool! How long do we have?
P.S. Working on it every spare second.
futuramaMADJan 28th 2004, 17:43
just 1 question
Do they have to be in couler???
OtisPJivefunkJan 28th 2004, 19:03
To the two people above, read the rules...
futuramaMADJan 28th 2004, 19:12
Ive read them!!!! (the rules) It dosnt say weather or not you have to couler, or do it in Black and white or whatever you want
StarmanYotolyJan 28th 2004, 19:32
Cut and Pasted from the 'Rules' Page:

Both black & white and colored comics are accepted. On February 15th, we'll pick two winners

[-mArc-]Jan 28th 2004, 20:17
I've gotten requests from people in Israel, so I'm going to allow them in. If there are other countries, we won't be too strict but please remember that prizes are sent from the US, UK or Germany. That's region 1, 2 and 4 with English or German sound. So, make sure you can use these.

t0mJan 29th 2004, 01:12

t0mJan 29th 2004, 01:53

zodepJan 30th 2004, 20:22
Are you going to post all of the entries after the winners are declared?
PhilJan 30th 2004, 22:45

FHilFeb 1st 2004, 01:11

ThomasJKruseFeb 8th 2004, 07:47
Whew!! well i'm finally done, now all i need to do is go to kinkos, scan my drawings, and send em to you mArc, it was hard work, and i know color is optional but do you get marked down for not having any??
JickleFeb 9th 2004, 08:56
So, did anyone else enter???
zodepFeb 9th 2004, 09:17

[-mArc-]Feb 12th 2004, 06:35
Sorry, you do need to get it to my email account...
Maybe a friend or so got a working scanner?
ThomasJKruseFeb 12th 2004, 16:19
i finally got everythin on scanned and everything and its says like the pics are too big, do you have some sort of instant messanger or somthing so i can send it there, or did the picture i sent you get sent??
[-mArc-]Feb 12th 2004, 19:54
I don't see any from your name (if you sent it as ThomasJKruse). Sorry, I don't have any Instant Messaging software either. Try saving it as a jpg, if your software allows it.
zodepFeb 13th 2004, 09:59
marc, the entry i sent has a missing word that i didn't notice until a day after sending it. any chance i could re-send it with the word added?
