It’s up to you, friends! Which punchline panel is your favorite? Things to consider: artwork , wittiness, humor, and character personality consistency. The winner gets reign over that ad space now held by the great, CRAZY Jon Esparza of Mike & Mindy!

Squeaking in at the last second is this entry by Don Koch of the goody stick figure comic Kaitou. Don decided to take the sound effect in a completely different direction– instead of weird things happening to Zorphie (like his costume being inflated), the squirrel manager expands into one GIGANTIC varmint! FOOOP! That’ll scare Zorphie into cooperating, methinks!
For funny musings by a stick figure, a disgruntled blog, a Sprite Stick-Figure Cat Girl (yes, indeed) and their odd conglomerate of friends, head over to Kaitou!
Keep an eye on this blog section NEXT Friday 12/13 to start voting on the Z&F Fanart Challenge entrants! Who will reign supreme and take over that coveted ad space?
Longtime reader and aspiring cartoonist himself, Rainey accepted the challenge… and showed it who’s boss by sendign me THREE entries! I figured it would be fun to make an animated GIF for you all, to showcase all 3 entries! In case you can’t read the text, the transcript is below:
Entry 1: “BRRR! Whose idea was is to put air conditioners in these suits?”
My air conditioner units need to make more of a FOOOP noise when turned on!
Entry 2: “Due to the revealing (in more ways than one) nature of this ending, I can’t show a picture. Lets just say the button was a self-destruct switch, and Zorphbert screamed “AHHHH, I’m naked!”
I got a good chuckle out of this, because Rainey is sort of poking fun at the fact that I NEVER show Z&F out of their costumes!
Entry 3: “I had that button booby trapped with 1000 volts. Was that a shock to you”?
OOOooooOoohhhhh pun-tastic! And yes, “FOOOOP” is totally the sound of an electrocuted squirrel-alien.
Thanks so much for your entries Rainey! Guys, swing by Rainey’s Tumblr page to read his comic “Reaper’s Legacy”, which is the funny, clever story of training the next Grim Reaper! I mean, the first one needs to retire already, no?
Trying to get a few more in before I/we vote in December! Don’t have a lot to vote on this season– maybe I picked a comic that was too hard to finish? Please swing by the Fanart Challenge Page for the full rules and email your entry to DAWN AT ZFCOMICS DOT COM!
I’ve been apart of long-running shows before, but we’re talking maybe 2 decades. The Sci-Fi & Fantasy show PhilCon is celebrating it’s 77th year in the Philly area! Another first for me, a full-fledged SCIENCE FICTION show! Z&F are aliens, they should fit right in, no? Come on out to say hi, browse the 3 Z&F volumes, get a T-shirt or figurine before they’re all gone, pick up some fun geeky prints, or even purchase a commission as a holiday gift!
