Sprites Inc Contest #7: Christmas Comic Contest of Wonderment!

I apologise for the lateness of the contest, I kinda fell asleep and didn't wake up until literally five minutes ago.

Anyway, welcome to the seventh Sprites Inc Contest! This week we're celebrating Christmas! Sorry, Jews.

This week you'll have to make a Christmas oriented comic. Note I didn't say "Sprite comic," although a sprite comic is allowed. Here's the rules: 1) The comic must be of at least one panel, and up to a maximum of twelve. 2) The comic MUST be Christmas oriented, if not you'll receive a lower score. 3) Should you choose a sprite comic, you must tell me, in the entry, what the style of the sprites is.

That's it. Three simple rules for Twelve Days of Christmas. Now, onto the scoring. This week it's different, and I hope this is how I'll evaluate every comic contest.

Also, rather much like the Thanksgiving contest, this one is also two weeks long.

Theme: Theme is nearly the exact same thing as it is for the sprite contests. Worth 100 points.
Language: This parametre is focusing on proper use of the English language, or the language chosen by the contest/submitter. At this point in time it will focus on English, as I'm not completely in tune with foreign languages. Worth 100 points.
Effects: This parametre focuses on effects and text boxes. The placement and usage of such. Worth 100 points.
Misc: If I feel anything else should add to your score, then this is where you'll see it. This operates very similarly to the Misc section for sprite contests. This is worth up to 100 points, and does not detract from your score.

As you can see there's a total of 300, with 100 extra possible.

Remember that this contest is ONLY two weeks long. That means that come 11:59PM CST (GMT -6) on the Sunday after the next I'm closing all further entries and only the most recent entries, update-wise, will be accepted. Any entries submitted after the indicated time will not be accepted. This is a hard rule that will not change, no matter the sob story you PM me.

Good luck, Hail Cobra, and Merry Christmas, y'all!

fuck you
just kidding
we jews love you man

actually we don't care. You get one day of presents, we get 8.
eat it up.

(which brings me to my question of are we allowed to involve hannukah in the comic somehow at all or only christmas?)

I mistakenly looked at the wrong calender. Chanukah is over, and as such is no longer allowed in the contest. Christmas comics only people.

I suppose Chanukah should be allowed. Lemme think on it and I'll get back to you some time later today.

ALERT
Due to the apparent presence of people of the Jewish faith and persuasion, and the fact that Chanukah this year overlaps with Christmas, I am allowing Chanukah themed comics as entries. I am not, however, allowing Kwanza themed comics as entries.

... How does Chanukah overlap Christmas? Chanukah was the first 8 days of December. :\

Second 8, technically. Hanukkah is already over. Hanukkah usually does overlap, this is actually a case it doesnt unlike others.

Goddamnit, I was looking at 2011. My bad.

Sorry, Lern, Christmas comics only.

ffffffffffffffff
wait, That means next year it does overlap? okay cool.

My entry.

I shouldn't really have to mention it's in MMX4-6 style. Christmas special for my Protoman X comic.

Squee?
Why does it have your old name on it in the "by___________" box?

Does it have to involve christmas itself, or can it be just wintery? Like Frosty the Snowmanish or Jack Frost?

Frosty the Snowman and Jack Frost are Christmasy.

Whoops. forgot about that. Used a premade chapter header that I have been using since before I changed my name. Going to go fix that.

Edit: fixed the name. Title now shows my new name. All hail Squee.

I hope this still counts. I don't see it going against the rules.

The file was too big to use on ImageShack AND Photobucket so I used Megaupload

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FIV3623J

As you can see, it is titled Contest7. I do hope that this counts, was kind of a pain to do and I wanted to do something innovative.

I know that a lot of you are on holiday and vacation and all, but the entry period for this contest ends December 26th at 23:59 CST (GMT-6) whether or not you're done. So, kick it into high gear. This is actually kinda sad, y'all. Only two entries. Pick up the pace!

For the record, Megaupload I think only lasts so many days so if the link is dead, let me know and I'll reupload it.

Merry Christmas, y'all.

I didn't know where else to put this, so I figured I'd put it here.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! and for The Don, Merry Chrimbus.

The entry period for the contest is over. I'll have the results up by this time next week.

It's that time again. And no, it's not time for the Wheel of Morality, that's next week.

Here are the results for the Christmas contest!
