Why I'm Still Single: Contest Results

So the contest is officially over. I've gotta say - I'm pretty impressed with the responses I got. I kinda wish they could all be winners, but, sadly, there can be only one... or something.

First up, some honorable mentions:

Our first honorable mention goes to Fumiko, who bravely admits that she would be willing to let her mom set her up. Personally, I'd rather die alone, but Fumiko's not that proud.

Just kidding, Mom. And Fumiko. Man, I'm probably offending everyone.



Second honorable mention goes to Genisse, mainly for the caring rendering of the coffee table in the background.



The next honorable mention goes to Heidi. I don't know that I recommend going to http://www.getaman.com/, but, if you have dial-up, it may not be the best idea.

Also, note that Heidi actually rendered an actual person, not just a stick figure. That's dedication.



I was really hoping for some Manelle-original artwork for this contest. That said, the dead-body outline is pretty awesome. Some of you may need to re-think your crushes, that's all I'm saying.

Dashbo of Dashbo's No-Brainer Math for Right-Brained Folk gets an honorable mention for the way he lovingly detailed the moon's reflection in the water. Kudos.

And now, the winner :



Mike C. gets the gold, mainly because THIS IS SOMETHING I ACTUALLY DO.

Congrats to Mike, who gets the Best Buy card, and thank you all for playing.

WISS Contest Deadline

Just a reminder that the Why I'm Still Single contest ends tonight at midnight. The competition's looking pretty good - I actually 'lol'ed a couple of times, and I'm not the type of person that actually USES that term. I'll post the winner and some honorable mentions on Monday - unless I don't.

Also, if you're not all contested out, my friend Heidi at The Shoeologist is having a little drawing of her own. She's giving away a free pair of rainboots. Now, I don't give a flying farfegnugen about shoes myself, but she's put together a pretty cool website. So, ladies, check her out and hopefully win some swag.

Contest: Why AM I Still Single

I'd like you all to join me for a little experiment. I've been putting out these "Why I'm Still Single" comics for about a year now, but, with plays and NaNoWriMos and stuff like that, I've been pretty busy. So I'd like to see what YOU all can come up with.

Therefore, CONTEST!!!

I'm gonna keep rules here pretty loose. Everyone who wants to enter the contest can send ONE (1) cartoon modelled after the "Why I'm Still Single" format to sileny_spisovatel@hotmail.com. The only content restriction I'm imposing is that you make your cartoon fit for viewing by your own mother - because I'm pretty sure MY mother will take a look at this at some point.

Beyond that, let your imagination go nuts. You can tell me why you're still single, why I'M still single, why you stayed single for so long... I'm easy.

And, by the way, "I'm easy" is now NO LONGER AN OPTION for your caption.

Oh, yeah, there will be a prize - a gift card to Best Buy, just in time to spend it on someone else for Christmas.

Deadline's November 24. Get to work!
