Well, it was intended to be a humour christmas card, which i sent to my friends. I only entered it because i didn't have any other eligble pics on the net. By 'comic', i assumed it would be cartoon, i didn't think it had to be a huge strip with a story to go with it.
And Zuca, I am Female. |
my appologies on the male assumption ^^. _________________ Avatar by Vanodalv. Wooh |

According to the Dictionary, in the strict sense of the word a cartoon is a "sketch or drawing, usually humorous, as in a newspaper or periodical, symbolizing, satirizing, or caricaturing some action, subject, or person of popular interest".
If we accept this definition then Hyraxylos' work wouldn't count as a cartoon, because it's not a single image, and Jaspar's doesn't contain any satire, but it does contain symbolism and certain humor, so I guess it would fit in.
I also see a problem in putting cartoons and comic strips into the same category, because strips are usually more elaborate than cartoons, and require a lot more work. So we could settle for either cartoon or strip, or reward both the best cartoon and the best comic strip (I'm for the last one). |

Dragon comic strips can also enter, but I understand why you favor the last option. I agree with you on that. _________________ - power is gained through wisdom - |
