This post is where you should post a link to your entries. Also post your e-mail and whatever name you want to use (I'd say anything but "anonymous" should work fine). If you don't post your e-mail address I can't get in touch with you if you win, so you really should do it. Note: this post is just for contest entries. There's this thread for commentary. So don't post anything but entries! I will probably delete anything else (this is just so that it's easy for all of us to go through them all quickly.)
A rundown of contest rules etc:
What: Entries are remixed xkcd comics, using your own text (or xkcd text, whatever you want) and entirely xkcd art. No other limitations, so you should have plenty of material to work with. If it's not clear that your art is from xkcd, we may ask you to provide comic #s where you got your source material. Remember: The best entries will use the humor-sans font!
UPDATE: Just so you guys know, you can enter something you made a while ago, and even something you've linked to before here. It does not have to have been made expressly for this contest.
How to win: The finalists will be chosen by me and me alone, probably about 5 entries. After that, I'll make a poll and you guys can all vote in it and that is how we will choose the winner and runners up.
Prizes: The top winner will get a $100 TopatoCo gift certificate and the two runners up will get $20 TopatoCo gift certificates. Both of these are negotiable, so if you win, we can work out another prize if you want (but I retain the right to go "fuck it, man" and just give you the damn gift certificates).
Deadlines: This thread will stay open
Sounds good? Remember: Post links here, post commentary on this thread.

ReplyDeleteIt's an old one, hope someone gets a giggle. I'm not interested in prizes, plus I have no idea what a topatoco is, some sort of hybrid potato taco? Prizes should include a signed copy of XKCD Sucks: The Book though IMHO.

So here's the eligible version of the second strip I submitted. Tip of the hat to Person#1 for telling me where to find the explosion:

Well I did this one a while ago, it's clearly against the rules of the contest, but on the other hand - what the hell. I don't want to make a new one.

Here's one I did:
ReplyDeletehttp://tinypic.com/r/1zdmarp/5
Most of the edits I've done fit the criteria (I used external art in my "FIRST Design" edit), so I thought I'd submit a few.
ReplyDeleteWings - Slightly modified from my original edit to include Carl's suggestion of keeping the explicit Icarus reference.
Stephend and Me - My "epic" version. Definitely the most popular of my edits; imgur tells me the original got nearly 25000 hits (thanks!). I made a few changes here: Beret no longer vanishes for a bit after the balloon ride, the "shing" of the swords reads correctly, and I did a (very) little clean up of some of the blurrier parts.
- Just a "show, don't tell" version of Randall's original. No changes to my original edit.
Heh, didn't provide any text for the last link, that should be:

You know what, I want a TopatoCo gift certificate.

ReplyDeletecstave at the obvious email address (it's drew)
So basically all this time I posted on XKCDCouldBeBetter I could have saved my images and used them for this?
ReplyDeleteFuck.
you can still post them here!
ReplyDeleteguys, a clarification which I will add to the post: you can enter things you've already made and shown people, they do not have to be original to this contest.
In that case, can I link to my CouldBeBetter posts to save time?
ReplyDeleteIf so, it's here: http://xkcdcouldbebetter.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=userrecentposts&user=tomr
It's quite funny looking back at my old edits and remembering the fads I've started. Man, do the kids still do rape comics?
that works. as long as I can see the comics. which I can.
ReplyDeletemine is very, very long:

Title: Rule Of Cake
Alt-Text: I considered applying this rule to #631, buy my normal approach was useless there.
I only found this site a couple of days ago, and it's already inspired me to create this thing--whatever it is. A collection? A meta-comic? Anyway, keep up the scathing criticism.

And here's another submission. Annoyingly, the image host won't bring it back up to its proper size. Grrr.

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FQN7hDV5hQQ/S6Us1PlnXQI/AAAAAAAAACE/sR48Ig6kHSU/xkcd_remix_002.jpg
I like the second version better, mostly because the first one violates the rule for punchlines I set up in my previous submission. Yes, I am a hypocrite.
Apologies in advance if this has already been done, because it's a pretty obvious manipulation, but nonetheless:

@Matthew's first comic: actually, in many cases, replacing the entire last panel with goatse (!) makes the comic funnier. It seemed hard to believe at first, but...
