This, I think, is NSF's first little comic thing.
Anyway, let me explain what this is.
This is a little comic contest. Nothing too big or anything.
Basically, you submit a comic that fulfills all of the requirements (listed below), and a few select people will grade them based on three categories: Awesomeness, Style, and Imaginativeness.
Requirements:
-No sprites. (Mario sprites, Zelda sprites, etc.)
-Must have some sort of storyline (no matter how retarded)
-Must have 3+ panels.
How grading works:
Each one of our judges will review each comic entered, out of 5 for each category. The highest rated comic will be the winning comic, and the creator will be rewarded with the special Comikaze rank, capable of cool stuff. Here are descriptions of the categories:
Awesomeness - Generally how awesome the comic is. Kind of an overall grade.
Style - What the drawing is like, and how effectively it portrays what is going on.
Imaginativeness - How refreshing your ideas are, and how funny they are.
You can make simple stickfigure comics, or very detailed ones. It can be hand-drawn or mouse-drawn. It's up to you.
You can submit up to three comics.
Judges:
Dawei
Riosan
Sebastian
LightningSword
BEATNIK WINS

A: 1/5 No Captain Falcon, but there's Falcon Kick? Falcon Kick belongs to Cpt. Falcon. No inclusion = fail.
S: 1/5 I couldn't understand any of it, save for the fact that some loser killed Dawei's dog. Fail.
I: 1/5 It's been done before. Fail.
You grade right away :O? Also, I've got my rough draft all drawn up, I just need to scan and edit it or whatever.

Nothing is better than mine.
I'm going to draw a special Power Off comic for this, and then I might try doing something a little different for a second entry if that's allowed.
I have too much to do though atm, maybe next week D:

Thinking "I don't like it but it's good enough for my audience" Is one of the biggest mistakes an author of any kind can make. Contempt for your readers pretty much guarantees failure.
Also, putting your own dialogue into DinosaurComics (http://www.qwantz.com/) doesn't seem fair, seeing as the majority of the work was done by somebody else.
Edit: I just thought to check (http://www.qwantz.com/archive/000416.html), and I guess it wasn't your dialogue either. The entirity of the comic you posted was somebody else's work. Why the hell would you do that?
I made the rough draft of that before any entries were posted. And four pages later I finally do the editing and post it... Anyway, I hope this does well with all of you judges.

Really? Thanks. That was actually my first time ever attempting to draw XD.
But the real storyline of the whole thing was the fact that she must have had plastic surgery or something to all of a sudden get so big, the "old, dead meme" was just thrown in there. And I don't really follow the meme thing, I just saw the "Laser Collection" on Youtube yesterday, so I decided to use it.
Birdie:
A: 2/5 Shoop da whoop hurt it there.
S: 3.5/5 The style was highly imaginative, and it was non-stick figures. Kudos.
I: 3/5 Hilarious.
Good job.
Well, here's my comic:
Sorry about my hand writing. :D Didn't turn out as good as I wanted. I messed up on Bowser in the 5th frame. Made him too short, so I had to make his feet long so he wouldn't float. :P And in the last frame his XD eyes don't connect in the right spot. But there's always the two other comics. I'll probably use paint next time, it'll have pwetty colors. :)
EDIT: Oops, screen stretch. Sorry bout that. :P
A: 1/5
S: 2/5
I: 2/5
I don't get it. D:

There was no solid punchline, but the art style was pretty good. My advice is instead of having to worry about your handwriting, type their lines in in Paint or Photoshop.

The following comic was done in very little time, and for your comic to be graded, it must surpass its quality: http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/8754/crapcomicum9.png
You shouldn't have trouble beating that if you're not an idiot.
Birdie's second try:
A: 2/5 Not as awesome as the previous one...

And imma grade SK's for the lulz:

We're waiting. Don't disappoint. 8)
I'll upload part 1 of I'm guessing 3 of my amazing comic tommorow. Too lazy to turn my printer/scanner on right now and start yelling at it for making my image 10x the actual size.
Birdie's, Super's, and Matt's comics all sucked equally.
Except for Birdie's background.
I'm gonna go turn on my desktop and scan my comic. It'll be on within the hour.
There, it's crappy D:
WARNING: IT'S GIGANTIC ;-;. ~
SK resized it for you.There. We can have sequel entries, right?
I haven't been on NSF long enough to actually make a joke out of it, so I just did a half-arsed comic on a video game >_>
This is why I don't make comics regularly
Also, Byte, you have three chances, if I remember correctly.
Baron.
A- 4. I simply like it. ;D
S- 4. How did you draw that? D:
I- 3.5. Heh, that made me smile.
Baron:
A - 4, but every single TF2 comic has spies as the punchline. Every single one.
S - 4
I - 3, it made me smile, but spy jokes are old.
Darn, I figured the joke would be used in other comics. The last time I've really read a comic was when MacHall was still alive, which was a year or two ago, if I remember correctly, haha, so I have no clue about what jokes have been used and abused. Plus, I just started playing TF2 the same day I posted the comic, so I wasn't aware of all the memes from the series. Then again, now I'm noticing a large Spy fanbase on the Internet >_> Oh well, if I pull another all-nighter, I'll try again =P
In the meanwhile, I might actually start reading comics now...
Thanks for critiquing! =)
Baron:
A: 2/5
S: 3.5/5 Clearly superior to everyone else.
I: 3/5

So everyone ignores my crappy comic for a TF2 one

Mine are clearly the most superior.

Meh. I took a stab at a TF2 comic.

Umm... Dude, it was a joke.
It's satire on how obsessed some can get. If you have seen how much I play a day when I have nothing else to do, you'll see why I made this comic. Truth is, I'm more obsessed with Guitar Hero than about 95% of this forum. I intercourse ing LIVE by Guitar Hero.
I hear there are better games out there, Mr. 74.
You should seek them.
