Please know that this is intended as a real contest. Though, however real it is, it's meant just for fun. I plan on making more of these and hope that people will participate in them with glee.

The objective is simple: you must create an ending to this four-panel comic I drew one day. I drew it with the intention of not finishing it, and putting it online for other people to contribute.

Rules:
- No souped-up graphics. You must keep the original style (as best you can) and not go overboard with remaking it
- Only one panel please. The end must be decided with one panel.
- This is the third rule

Create it however you like. You can draw it in paint with your mouse, you can draw it in Photoshop with a tablet, or, if you're really cool, you can print it out, draw on the paper and then scan it (or photograph it like I did) and put it up here.

I will be judging on cleverness and effort used to replicate my complex art style. Post your submissions as any file format in this post. The size shouldn't be too much bigger than the original comic.

Prizes:
- 1st place - an autographed picture of my foot
- 2nd place - an encouraging and esteem-boosting compliment
- 3rd place - I shall eat a potato in your honor

The ending date is whenever I gosh darn feel like ending it.

And now, here is the comic you will be working with:

GOOD LUCK Y'ALL

P.S. Ignore those little lines at the top of the fourth panel; they are meaningless.

Oh my god. I'm considering just calling you the winner. That was so awesome. Plus, it doesn't seem like this is going to turn out to be the most popular thing ever :/

Okay I'll wait a day or two more, and if no one else enters then you'll get that foot!

Hah, nice Dirk Black. It did make me smile, BUT YOU BROKE THE FIRST RULE!! >:O

It's a neat fire effect, but regardless of your cartooning ability (which I'm not really concerned with honestly, it's mostly the creativity put into it that matters) the panel should be filled with mostly just a pen-esque-ness style. Or I could just say "doodle". ANYWHO, you're in second place so far. Congratulations. As soon as another person enters (if that happens) then I'll end the contest and d

EDIT:

Ooops, looks like I lost my train of thought or... something.

I mean to say: ... I'll end the contest and declare the winners.

I also have another comic lined up after this one. Tell your friends!

Kept with the whole style pretty closely I think. I hope I'm lucky enough to get a potato eaten in my honor. That's never happened before. ^_^

P.S. Great Prizes. They compelled me to join, no kidding.

These are great everyone. I'm surprised it turned out like this. Or maybe I'm not, I dunno I usually don't think that far ahead.

Anyway, I have to go to work for 8 hours now but when I get back, the winners will be declared and the prizes will be distributed.

But the contest isn't over, it'll end as soon as I hand out the fabulous rewards.

Thank you Myoto, I'm glad someone got the joke. :angry:

And no problem Syntex (you also took my apple! :o ) :P

P.S. I don't understand Magnesiums' entry. Anyone who did, feel free to explain it to me. Thanks.
