I was bored at work today. So I thought "You know what we haven't done in a while? A jam. So let's have one why not?"
So here we are.

This makes me so happy I could explode.

Sorry for the crummy sharpie action. I grabbed the wrong one! If you can't tell, from left to right: Neko, Bob, Plant.

[Mr.Bob]

Guyyysysys I don't wear a wig no more!

I wanna contribute to this, but I gots a huge backlog of work, and if I do something for this I'll feel guilty for not working on my other codpiece.

(Codpiece because I couldn't remember which word came next, and I'll be damned if I'm going to spend the next half-hour trying to remember my vocabulary.)

I may toss something up which hasn't got the usual polish.

[Doll]

This just reminds me of how little I want to go to work tomorrow.

This just reminds me of how little I want to go to work tomorrow.

Same here. And I think I have to work the next six days for the Thanksgiving rush.

[[AlmightyPyro]]

I'll try to contribute. Not promising anything though... Exams...

[Linkara]

I'll try to come up with something tomorrow. ^^

How exactly do jams work? My original conotation with the word appeared to be disproven in the Cap Jam thread.

How exactly do jams work? My original conotation with the word appeared to be disproven in the Cap Jam thread.

The Cap Jam was more of a "themed doodle" thread.

Around here, we generally consider jams to be a (relatively) cohesive story that anyone can add to and change. It's supposed to be a exercise of free-form interactive/multi-author storytelling and practice in art.

Good examples of previous jams can be seen here. Sadly, these are older; the more recent ones you'll have to dig through the forum archives or wiki.

People seem to have forgotten how the old jams work. There's no need for dibs or finished, inked, complete works (you can go back and edit the picture to make things clearer and neater later). This is a form of improv; take what was previously posted and ADD to it (don't try to change it towards your own agenda - ie. no godmoding). If you don't like what happened to your character, run with it...it may end up as a running joke for your forum persona.

Don't get caught up waiting for someone else to finish their piece before posting yours - then nothing will get done. Jams work best when they're free-flowing and fast; if someone takes too long, too bad for them. If it creates some kind of discontinuity, that can be worked out in the story.

Don't wait or even ask to use permission to use other people in the jam. Again, that'll cause huge delays. Hopefully you've been around long enough to know who the major players are around here and their character traits - if not, we have profiles on the wiki. Just add them to your comic, generally people will be flattered and/or excited to be drawn by someone else. If not, that should be their cue to get involved and change what they don't like (within the context of the story, of course.)

Now, I'm going to be late because I needed to say this.

[KWill]

Now, I'm going to be late because I needed to say this.

It is very appreciated, though =)

[Killbert-Robby]

I actually have to say DK, the second panel shows a LOT of improvement.

I also thought we hadn't had a jam in a while... I wish I had flash, I'll try to improvise.

Pending comic involving KWill

Behold Neko's amazing vanishing tie!

[Linkara]

Redwolf's arms are huuuuuuge.

[The Mortician]

There are usually a lot of large things about Redwolf. Be thankful its only his arm.

[MixedMyth]

Drawn in between job hunting, ironically. Please excuse the crappiness of the drawing.

Minibert?

[Linkara]

Eeee! MiniMyth as Catbert is adorable! ^_^
