Unfortunately I don't really have a lot of comics left that are suitable for this kind of thing. (Most of mine are waist-deep in storyline.)

Yeah, it's tricky finding strips that make sense outside of storyline. Stolen? Who stole it?

No one made a comic out of it or anything; it was just someone passing it off as an original quote in a LiveJournal community. When someone else pointed out where it came from, he "remembered" where he heard it. :-)

Okies...throwing my hat back into the ring once more to give this old stick a shake. With a bit of luck it'll go up tomorrow afternoonish my time, which is quite probably next Tuesday for you Septics...

We'll have to see how it goes...with a bit of luck it'll go up against something beatable...with my luck though, it'll go up against the discrimination one or similar...

Fair dinkum, if I bought a guppy it'd drown!

She'll be jake, though.

…which I certainly appreciate.

I'm going down in flames today, but that's cool; it was nice to hang out for two days, and I did see a little spike in my visits, so it was totally worth it.

I'll be throwing my hat into the ring again soon.

I've created a monster

apparently my strip won't DIE.
32 days and counting... The Disability Discrimination one is one of the closest battles I've had, but there are so many I would've been happy to lose to... like Acid on a Plane, One-Liners, and Super-Ex, which were all close, too.

Baby. I TOLD you I would've been happy to go out to you, and I would have been - don't think you're in the top-3 for no reason, chum. Those were just the closest battles I had. (plus one against Fredo & Pid-Jin, which I forgot)

Septic Tanks for Americans is not new Australian slang. It's basically dated from the Second World War when your blokes were stationed in Australia. Just rhyming slang.

32 days? Bloody hell, surely it'd get old after a month...

you're still not making any actual sense.

I wonder if I should submit one of my newer comics.

Would it be too obvious to say "Go for it!"?

This one, as a suggestion, would probably go dang far. It's so simple and yet so disturbingly funny.

Couldn't agree more. That one totally cracked me up the other day.

Aw...getting beaten by a photo of two talking chess pieces...

And I'm using a bad-taste death joke as well!

Not to worry...let's go for the extra hits.

What kinda chump just photographs small toys and puts them together as a comi- Oh... hey Legostar... didn't see you there... How - um - how's it goin'?

I voted for yours, Dutch - and it's early yet, don't count all yer chickens in one basket... or something like that. I think, like Tenma's Yaoi, it's just that your comic requires actual reading. Comics with fewer words tend to do better than those with more textual humor... we're a lazy bunch, us comic folks.

Dutch! · Post by **Dutch!** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 2:52 am

You may well be correct there. Problem with mine is that the strips which generally don't use many words tend to focus on the 'awww' than the 'haha'.

At the same time...each vote you get is a tick someone's given you.
