Helm's Fill in the Comic Activity!

Yes yes, you know how this works! There's no longer a winner or anything, and I will try to comment on all of them, and at the end show the original text version. You can edit bubble shapes and whatever else about the comic, but try to do only text versions before it all degenerates into slapping penises on grandpa's face or whatnot.

Funny is appreciated. Well-done is appreciated. Well-done and funny will make me hug my cat!

Let's begin with obvious text and clumsy hand (well, mouse) lettering.

I missed this activity, I really did!

Hehe I'm glad you're all enjoying the fifth panel fast-retort-mode. Fuzz I really like yours, and it sets a trend of people making the child into an ASSHOLE. Pesty's probably the most assholeish so far. The panel 7 closeup in hers is just creepy!

I liked how Vesper used the santa claus thing, he'll find the original text funny when I post it.

Sorry about the heavy modification. Maybe I'll do a proper one later.

How could I resist?

This comp. won't be the same without biothlebop.

I decided to buck the trend from the kid being an asshole to just stupid.

Strange comic to work with. I went for the mysterious, melodramatic approach. it really doesn't make any sense, but shhh! You don't know that!

Gore, I really like your entry! For panel manipulation, it's subtle and works well.

Steve, your first one didn't do much for me, but the second was one of my favourites so far. The meta-humour thing is a bit overdone on the internets, but that panel where the ship parts talk about themselves is hilarious. Generally, great entries so far!

MrFibble: I'm sorry you couldn't resist a movie reference.

Squinky: hehe when you see the original, you'll be surprised too. I enjoy it mostly, though I stronly object to stuff like 'WTF' or 'LOL' making it in comics. Internetspeak needs to die, much less sneak into art.

Steve, I agree biothlebop better start making appearances!

Limpingfish, nice entry, again close to the original as you'll eventually see. I see a lot of people interpret the very last bubble as being the words of the evaporating grandpa, whereas it was supposed to be the child screaming out something.

Also if some of you people have problems with the grandpa dissapearing in the second to last panel, just edit it out. I know it fucks up with a lot of could-be scripts, so don't be afraid to alter stuff to make it work.

Progz, enjoyable entry. The subjectivity of existence is the actual theme from the original comic, so I guess it carries through a bit even without the text.

Strange Visitor: nice visual-textual play on the 'watch your mouth panel'.

[lgm], it reads well but it doesn't make sense.

Thank you everybody that has participated so far! This is a great turnout.

I just want to apologize to everyone, everywhere for this-

But...

LGM · Mon 19/03/2007 04:36:03

Helm, I edited some panels. It makes a bit more sense if you think about it.

Vince Twelve · Mon 19/03/2007 05:51:38

In panel six, I have no idea in which order the bubbles are supposed to be read. I think I got it the wrong way around. Oh well.
