Man, it's been march 8 in australia for AAAAAAGES now. I've been on the edge of my seat so long I'm starting to get friction burns. THE TENSION.

lolz and roflz will be in order if they declare that no comic was good enough and no-one gets to be published.

one thing I didn't like about this contest was the strict limits on dimensions. I mean just about everything thats been posted here, atleast from my understanding of the rules, wouldn't qualify for the contest.

Eh, I didn't mind the limitations on the size too much, good practice for those times when you need to abide by certain size restrictions.

Now would be a good time to remind everybody that the announcement will be the WEEK of the 8th, not necessarily the day. Anytime between now and Friday could be the announcement day.

Please be patient, and I apologize for breaking anybody's spirit.

I totally understand the width limit, and that's strictly due to web design purposes. 650 px is the size of their main content area, so having any images bigger than that would screw up the look of the site or just not show up at all. The width of websites is typically static. As for the height limit... I'm assuming that's because once your comic is over twice as long as it is wide that you probably need to get to the punchline already. Also, just basic bandwidth considerations, although that probably wouldn't matter as much considering all the videos they already host.

Everybody loves ol' soap drama...

Now how exactly would von Trier, former advocate of dogme '95, be a more appropriate choice than 20th century existential genius Ingmar Bergman?
HERESY!

P.S
Nice work though.

its not that I do not understand the size. And I am clearly able to work within the limitations and find them acceptable otherwise i wouldn't have entered.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't prefer more. atleast standard comic page dimensions

I respect your opinion, though I personally find appreciation for Ingmar Bergman very bourgeois. Lars von Trier is a freakin' lunatic and thus the byproduct is richly orgasmic movies. :p

I don't understand. Drama? What drama? Are you sure you're in the right place?

Because let me tell you boy, this ain't no internet drama I'm acquainted with. No, my drama is a troll-laden hellscape sown with a generous number of sulking replies and personal attacks, none of which are present at this current juncture.

Oh yeah? Well, so's your mom. And this whole thread looks shopped. I can tell from the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my time.

FINE. We are no longer friends.
