The idea is simple. One person draws a comic. Someone else writes dialogue for the comic. Another person, without access to the original comic, draws a comic to match the dialogue. The cycle repeats. This game is essentially a reboot of the
Telephone Comics thread of ages past, which was essentially a variation on the
EPYC forum games of ages even more past. Because they were goddamn hilarious, I'm reviving the idea.
1) People sign up for the round and I put together a turn order, alternating art and dialogue.
2) Someone draws a comic, sans dialogue, and PMs it to the next person in line, as well as me.
3) That person writes dialogue that would fit the comic, and PMs just the dialogue to the next person in line (and me again).
4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all players have had their turn, with each participant only having access to the most recent entry.
5) I compile all the entries and post them. Everybody laughs at the evolution of the silly.
6) Optionally, we vote for the "winner" of each round, based on exceptional awesomeness in comedy, good art, puns, bad art, interpretation, etc.
Look at the older telephone comics thread for an idea of how it all works if there's any confusion. Both good and bad art are encouraged, it works best with a healthy mix of both. The comics don't need to be funny on their own, the funny tends to arise organically. The only real additional rule is
do not post any spoilers about the current round in the thread, as the whole point is that each participant is going in mostly blind. Ideally, people doing words should make their submissions dialogue only, optionally naming characters, including sound effects, and
very minor stage direction. If you want to sign up, specify Art Preferred, Dialogue Preferred, or No Preference so I can do my best to accommodate, and
Please only sign up if you are going to be available to participate.
