Two weeks ago, I put up a blank comic strip and asked for readers like you to submit a strip for it. Now, I’ve got some results.
First, I’ll start with the premise that made me put pencil to paper on this strip. I was hoping to draw a simple two panel strip that could have easily interchangeable dialogue in the first panel, but a standard punchline (or slapline) in the second panel.
Here’s my version…
I’ll likely have a few more of these as nerdy issues come up.
Here are the strip-scripts that were submitted.
The first comes from the WUMB, from a man who goes by the name Rollo Tomassi…
The second came from a fellow WUMBer named Sanjonn Solo, or Janson as he’s known on the WUMB…
The next submission came from Ace Hoyle writer Phill Provance, who submitted a series of three entries…
The last submission came from my buddy from across the pond, James Dickson, who tosses a mean disc and apparently loves binary…
Well, for a first time, I think “You write the comic strip” went pretty well. Four entries, some good hilarity and a whole bunch of looking at the same awesome artwork…I’m gonna have to do this again sometime soon! Stay tuned!
What a great idea. It was fun to read the different takes on the same strip!
Thanks! This definitely won’t be the last time I do this…in fact, it was just the initial shot. Hopefully next time around I can do a strip with loads more potential (3 or 4 panels worth of script to write) and bring out many more entries!
We’ll see…
Hey folks!
Phill Provance, who wrote one of these submissions, just launched his Ace Hoyle comic! Check it out…
