Darn it, Anym, that was pretty much what I was gonna do!
Ah well, I'll try to think of something else... ^_^

That scares the crap out of me for reasons I can't begin to fathom.

Okay, so there's only one frame to this one but that's what came to my head when I thought about bittersweet gothic: A girl who pretends she's tough but deep down she's still a little girl.

Do "gothic" and "choc'lit" even sound close enough to be considered a pun? :-[

OK, let's see.
Anym: Pretty good, pretty good. It has some bittersweetness and it seems gothic enough.

Ali: Scary. A creepy girl turns bricks into cats. I like it, but it's a bit hard to understand at first.

bush_monkey: Another cool idea. Not enough frames though.

biothlebop: Batman with crayons? Interesting idea, but I don't get it.

Mash Potato: Well, I love that girl, but it's a bit offtopic.



SO THE WINNER IS: ANYM

As far as I understood, Ali's comic was about Schrödinger's cat. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrodinger's_Cat)

Ummm.... well... I knew that... Yeah. It still doesn't make much sence.

Before this gets locked I want to point out that my comic wasn't about Schrödinger's cat. I wish it had been, I love that little kitty.

Congratulations Anym!

Cool! I'm gone for two weeks and come back only to find out that I won something (and that I'm already late for starting the follow-up competiton, gotta think of something real quick now). ;D

EDIT: Or do I? I just noticed that the Comic Competiton isn't in the Forum charter (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=5477.0) and there were no guidelines specified in Krysis' post.

Guidelines? What guidelines? Just start the next one, I think.
