Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

Comic-Contest Ends Soon

The Comic Contest only has three more days to go, so hurry with the submissions! I submitted a comic, but evil-marc wouldn't let it be in the contest for some dumb reason.* But I'm going to let you people see it anyway! So without further ado, my entry!



*cause I work on CGEF, I guess, spluh. Lame excuse.

zodepFeb 12th 2004, 22:46
hmmm. The entry I sent has a missing word... can I fix it up and re-send?
KazzahdraneFeb 12th 2004, 23:38
Jon, the entries had to be at least 3 frames long. I'm sure that's the real reason "evil-marc" wouldn't let it be an entry.

mArc doesn't need a reason to be evil. He's German afterall. :p

#1. faster, faster!
#2. yea, just resend it and explain you messed up.
#3. excuses excuses excuses.
#4. I agree completely.
#5. no one cares!
#6. no one cares!
#7. download irfranview (search google for it), load the image, make the image a suitable size, then save as > jpg (with 70% compression). that will get the file to a good size.

JonFeb 13th 2004, 09:28
sigh, do you have aim or msn? post your info and ill add you and you can send it to me.
WezzoFeb 13th 2004, 09:33
Jon, try adding the Hotmail addy he posted - it's likely he uses that for MSN Messenger if he's got it.
JickleFeb 13th 2004, 10:54
I entered really early on. Hope they remember my entry. lol
[-mArc-]Feb 13th 2004, 11:17
ThomasJKruse: That means my mailbox was full. Someone sent me a 10mb comic as a bitmap which kinda clogged it. There should be ample space for the rest now. If you get the same message again after sending some, maybe it's you filling up my mailbox ;) In that case, just try again after a while.
JickleFeb 13th 2004, 12:13
Hey mArc, did you get it this time?
StarmanYotolyFeb 13th 2004, 15:08
For web graphics, the internet can only display up to 72 PPI; anything larger than that is a waste of memory.
JickleFeb 13th 2004, 15:38
Note: My friend told me he didn't realise the second panel was a Jetsons parody until I told him, I hope you noticed :D
ThomasJKruseFeb 13th 2004, 18:19
OMG! yes! jon i have AIM, my AIM screenname is TomKro0oze (the middle o in kro0oze is a zero)

That would be so great, and also im going to try to send it again marc maybe its not filled up now, tell me which ones that got sent to you. omg you guys are the best
ThomasJKruseFeb 13th 2004, 18:44
K I JUST SENT EM ALL (one by one cuz thats the only way i can) AND IT DIDNT SAY ANY PROBLEMS WERE UP!, so let me know if you recieve em and if not, hopefully AIM will save my life
[-mArc-]Feb 13th 2004, 20:16
I think i got them all but for panel 3 (or 4?). The one between Calculon and Fry is missing.
ThomasJKruseFeb 13th 2004, 20:29
there are 3 panels with calculon, which should be panel 1,2 and 3, then it goes to a panel with just frys head which is labeled panel 3.5, and panel 4 is the one where he asks bender
JacobStockFeb 14th 2004, 05:37

jacobStockFeb 14th 2004, 05:45

futuramaMADFeb 15th 2004, 12:39
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!! I finished last night woke up and it says the message has not been sent!!! Damn Ill just have to read others
OtisPJivefunkFeb 15th 2004, 12:44
Just wondering, in the rules it says "Deadline is February 15th. We'll pick the two winners and show all accepted submissions on CGEF". But does that mean you'll show them all tomorrow on the 16th, so that people can still enter on the last minute of the 15th, or will they be shwon and decided today anyway?...
[-mArc-]Feb 15th 2004, 16:07
ThomasJKruse: Send me #3 again. I don't have that one.

Otis: All entries to come in today will still count (midnight in the Westcoast will be the limit). We might need a day or two for judging and putting them up.
jacobStockFeb 15th 2004, 19:14
can you read mine ok?
did you recive mine ok? because i made the words a little more readable. is there any that you cant read?
[-mArc-]Feb 15th 2004, 19:22

BofrFeb 15th 2004, 20:06
