The topic is : Post-Apocalyptic Shakespeare! Using sprites, a pencil, or even your tablet, create a comic that plays out a classic Shakespeare scene- only altered for a post-apocalyptic setting.
That's right- the classic duel of Hamlet and Laertes, only it's Mad Max vs. Mohawk guy...Or...
Romeo and Juliet with two radioactive mutants...
I will judge based on how well I can recognize the scene, so using the classic dialogue may be a good idea.
BEGIN!
awww....so.....no creative funnies? Seems interesting either way. Might cook up something.
You can be creative, I just have to be able to recognize what scene you're parodying.

In this Post-Apocalyptic period, Humanity has divided into 2 strains: Montagues, who are human-elemental hybrids, and Capulets, who can morph into animals. They are constantly fighting with each other. However, one man and woman step forward, willing to bridge the gap:

Wow :o
Will(iam) Shakespeare survive World War III? Yes, as you may see:

A bugs life 8) I tried to make a whole story about it but sorta figured i wouldn't have enough space. So this is kinda crappy...
Nice comic Victor, but quit a lot spelling errors... Try using www.dictionary.com if you're not sure about how something is spelled.
The comic looks pro, but the errors detract from that.
yeah. I've been told that millions of times. But I always seem to be to lazzy to do that (like now)...

hehe old unrelated-to-contest page. Not really entering, just thought it funny that i had made a comic with that premise already.
Heh. Romeo and "Julia"?
I kinda get that the last bit means they really commited the suicides written in the plays, but I don't really see what's happening, just what I think is two eyes and a lot of blood. If I saw, say, a dagger, I'd understand it better...
I think it's a rotten tomato being hurled at the stage, with the "good actors are hard to find" line.
...oh.

Jeah. I was wondering about that one myself. If you look at the book you'll notice that it's spelled Juliet. I used both becouse in my language it's transleted Julia. And the J is pronounced diferently. So I wasn't shure wich name to use.
And um... Yeah it's a tomato. Gues this comic isn't one of my best huh :(
Hmmm... well, yeah. In the book it's spelled Juliet. And in all film versions. In fact, "Romeo and Juliet" is just about the most common phrase I've ever heard.
Funny, I never thought it'd sound different in another language. I mean, we don't translate, for instance, Mozart's "D. Giovanni" as "D. João". Ah well.

Your idea would have been awesome, though, Rui.
It appears that Shakespeare truly inspires greatness, for all of these entries are really, really good.
Helm- it's a shame you didn't include this as an entry, because it's fan-friggin-tastic. I actually chuckled at the frown symbol in the Yorrick closeup.
Viktor- Great work! Your comic amused me, though it didn't get into the Shakespeare side of things until near
the end.
nihilyst- I really liked that you took a scene from Macbeth and played it out in a new way.
Babar- I'm still surprised that you managed to fit so much into your comic, and the attention to detail
shows.
Babar's effort impressed me the most, so he is the winner! RADIUM!!!!
