really nice, only there are some senteses i cant read coz they are 2 small

Secret Fawful · Fri 09/09/2005 20:41:03

Yeh, well you see, Pixia resizes bad, also, whenever I leave it its original size, people complain cause its too big, but i resize it down about 100 by 100 and they say its too small so I dunno what to do. =/

Eggie · Fri 09/09/2005 21:48:24

You could try typing the text over the image.
Nice to see an entry, by the way. Huzzah!

Secret Fawful · Fri 09/09/2005 21:58:45

I did one better, I wrote the comics script above the comic in case someone can't see what they are saying.

Haddas · Fri 09/09/2005 21:58:56

Here comes my best work to date!

Secret Fawful · Fri 09/09/2005 22:02:52

LOL! Thats funny.

I like it.

Squinky · Fri 16/09/2005 16:27:10

I've wanted to enter these contest lately, but have forgotten how to color my art like I used to. Yeah, I'm serious, I just forgot how...

kec · Sat 17/09/2005 17:19:06

Yes I know. It's crap

IM NOT TEH SPAM · Sun 18/09/2005 03:34:55

Here's a golden rule of life: never call your own work crap unless you're in desperate need of a self esteem boost

But seriously, it's funny. Don't insult your work unless it deserves it (like that crappy sprite can I made a few days ago

)

TheYak · Sun 18/09/2005 04:47:31

Yep, it's actually a kickass comic. It just needs some line consistency and larger, more legible fonts but it has good characters and entertaining dialogue.

kec · Sun 18/09/2005 11:02:00

I was talking about the color.

Corey · Sun 18/09/2005 12:08:42

who cares?? its a leet comic

Eggie · Sun 18/09/2005 14:04:33

Best pro-janitorial comic ever?

Bluke4x4 · Sun 18/09/2005 17:54:42

This probably doesn't count, but nonetheless,...

Eggie · Sun 18/09/2005 17:58:23

Unlike some...for want of a better word, fascist, comic contest runners. I have nothing against shamlessly stealing copywritten images for humerous effect.
Unfortunately, the last time I let one of those things by me there was an uproar, that roar was, like, 1000 feet in the air so I'm afraid no, it doesn't count.

Bluke4x4 · Sun 18/09/2005 18:02:18

oh, well. It was worth a try.

Vince Twelve · Mon 19/09/2005 02:38:24

Yarrr!

IM NOT TEH SPAM · Mon 19/09/2005 02:56:24

Does the guy with the wheel in his pants have a beard? I can't tell.

TalkLikeAPirateDay · Mon 19/09/2005 11:23:38

Yarrr!

IM NOT TEH SPAM · Mon 19/09/2005 13:38:33

Yarr me matey!! Yer pirated comics need'n two bearded swashbucklin' fools!

Vince Twelve · Mon 19/09/2005 14:32:13

Yarr. Thanks be to God that Commodore Nipper be here to make sure we all follow the rules... :

Avast ye, Commodore.

(And yes, the guy with the steering wheel in his pants has a beard. His whole face is covered in hair. Weird, I know. I was messing around in a style that I have no familiarity or skill in.)

Eggie · Mon 19/09/2005 18:49:03

Now how do we know that the characters in the comic arn't just floating heads with body-shaped beards?

IM NOT TEH SPAM · Mon 19/09/2005 19:36:19

Meh, whatever. Just didn't want him to be disqualified

(I dont get it... is it pirate day or not?

)

Corey · Tue 20/09/2005 14:49:45

lo_res_man · Tue 20/09/2005 19:58:02

)

esper · Thu 22/09/2005 07:47:17

Apparently, he IS a beard.

Eggie · Thu 22/09/2005 08:37:26

Last day, peoples.

Corey · Thu 22/09/2005 14:34:24

Tuomas · Thu 22/09/2005 14:49:16

Saw it was the last day, so what the heck, give it a go

Never wake up a sleeping beauty...

viktor · Thu 22/09/2005 17:51:03

same here

I just thought i should take a shot at it. And they both have beards. One is just shorter than the other.

Eggie · Fri 23/09/2005 09:00:50

Wow...There were some funny entries this week...

Okay...I think I'm going to go with...Kec...Because...he's blackmailing me.

Congratulations! A worthy winner, matey, arr, etc.

I saw an episode of Rhoobarb and Custard yesterday where Rhoobarb dressed up as a pirate and went to to treasure island and it had the 'cha cha cha' joke which was later used to great effect in The Secret of Monkey Island.

Imagine if Bob Godfrey and Ron Gilbert teamed up and made a game together...that would rock so hard...

kec · Fri 23/09/2005 09:24:41

Arrrr I won! I'll start the new contest right away!
