Simple thread here requiring minimal attention spans and creative minds. I'm sharing videos (under ~2-minutes/DIY video) on how to create a traditional hand drawn comic.

What contest?
The comic as you'll see has no gag in the final draft.

Rules: Watch the DIYs and come up with a single comedy gag based on what you see. SFW (no profanity, politics, sexual innuendos as my comics have a family audience).

The winner: Whoever comes up with the best idea (community may vote on that GAFFER in the posts) gets their gag written into the final video and a private personalized copy via DM. Winner is free to share.

Post contest challenge: Keep it going. Many artists here. Post photo tutorials or your own contest within the terms of the forum and nominate a winner. Next one...you make the rules (within community guidelines).

You're probably going to get this. Bring folks in for more contributions. Otherwise, we may need a vote on those 4.

I'll keep this running till Monday night. You're all going to vote on one though. I'm still laughing at ÆMNE22A!C 's. When there's no context, it's even better. First thing that comes to your mind.

 

[John Marston]

While this is a great concept I feel most people just aren't ready for this.
Because it's constructive and brings people together

That being said I would LOVE a John Marston drawing I could eventually put as my Avatar.
I saved the "Happy Gafting Turkeys!" you made.

And you'll get that drawing too. Agreed. But hey, some good folks chimed in and I'll leave it at this. You may:

A. Vote on one if the above entries by Monday noon PST U.S. or...

B. I'll caption my favorite, DM the winner and announce later tomorrow

There will still be a winner

NeoGiffer it's not a troll thread. If you're not going to participate. Don't act like a clown or you'll get one on the house.

We're tied here. Who's gonna break it? Kanjo just created someone's AV btw.

 

[Happosai]

Congratulations to kanjobazooie !

You are the winner! But I liked the participation. Some others may get a random AV comic too via DM.

If the DIY was not needed for this. Some feedback may help too on how that could have been better.

For the first time in my life I won something.

 

[BadBurger]

lol, I am glad my stupid username brought some comic joy

 

[AJUMP23]

I actually think it would be funny to have the burger protesting Vegans. With a line of "Why don't you want me" or I'm tasty, I promise"

Something silly like that.

Too late, I already won.

And it won't be the last time.

You may see something else yet. Well, it brought the first tutorial I've ever posted. I've given live presentations but that was over 15-years ago. Haven't made a video tutorial on comics and that name was the first that popped into my head

Well...Bad Burger voluteered his AV but doesn't have one just yet. The contest one is Kanjo's (which will be completed today). You can do a whole lot of good with a bad burger.

Too late, I already won.

This one is. But, this thread was made for someone/anyone else to take ownership of and keep it going

 

[AJUMP23]

Or you could have the Burger eat a vegan and talk about how there is no nutrition in their stringy bodies.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

"NEIN, ICH BIN EIN BERLINER!"

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

For the first time in my life I won something.

I demand a recount

Congrats my little mouseball!

Great idea guys! Sorry I had some weird days Happosai ♡

Getting ideas here...this isn't over just yet. Contest may be, but not personal comics.

"NEIN, ICH BIN EIN BERLINER!"

I always wished the whole humor in that was that it translated to, "No. I'm a jelly (filled) donut." It's cultural history now...so, that's material that can be worked with too.

I was on the recount side until later in the evening yesterday. Poll hit a set number then and I had to settle before the thread fell of page 1. Otherwise, I was offering a winner but the contest was tipping toward the bottom.

Uh, I may still use your entry but for something yet to be seen. You'll find out this week hopefully

Congratulations again kanjobazooie ! Check your DMs and by the by...watch the video all. Last one and maybe some more fun to come.

Act like a clown? It's a thread about a gag contest? Oh and you liked my full stop and then put me in the final list. Making me all triggered as I've never won anything in my life. Then I'm off the final list?!!

So....

Cool down there, Giffer. Clowning was encouraged from OP, wasn't a troll post...you were derailing. I thought to include you as I'm fair. I'm not going to read someone who's never won anything and I'm an understandable person.
I can't make a comic GIF without actually animating.
Pitch me something though.
Sometimes our best comedy comes when we're not taking ourselves serious or when we're angry.
I'm not being sarcastic.
I think you have a point and if you really want to participate...we'll keep this going. But the 1st contest ended.

This thread if you read back to OP you'll see can pretty much keep going indefinitely. Make the rules on the next one. I'll just add two rules from my side: traditional art (drawing tabs are fine) and/or a sense of humor. Define what that is and edit the spoiler tag; needs to be a GIF

I hate being left out too and you've been around longer than I have. Felt there was something there even though I'd already put everything away for the day.
If I had enough arms, I'd probably just ink every AV in the forum. No one in this thread is exempt...though (by the way, don't watch the videos or you'll learn my 'tick' repetition
