Daily Grind Webcomic Challenge
Dauntilus writes "Bent Comics is sponsering a web-comic contest. Contestants put $20 into the pool, and they must update their comics 5 times a week. If they fail to update on time, they are out. Last artist in gets the pool. The contest started yesterday with a sweet $1,120 in the pot. A few big webcomic artists like Scott Kurtz (PVP) and Chris Crosby (Superosity) have even show up for the fun."
Depends who is "sponsering" it.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
Wait so this is basically a contest to see who's life is so devoid of content that they never miss a day of logging on and updating their cartoons ... sounds like whoever wins is really the biggest loser ;)
Is that this will be going on for at least 2 years. And then it will be down to 5. The only thing that is going to knock some of these artists out is some for of accident to their person or a sever server failure..... Uh... Shall Slashdot Slashdot those Slashdot wants to lose at update time?

Sigh... If only. Modding would be so much more fun.
My brother once decided to collect the daily Rex Morgan in a big old scrap-book to try to figure out what it was about.
after he had gathered several months worth together it still didnt make any sense.

I think citing User Friendly hurts your webcomic street cred.
Just because a strip is done with stick-figure quality doesn't mean it isn't awesome!
Kick in the Head is my favorite, and it's not about the art.
Does it even require that the author be human? Some people get away with just putting different text over the same image every day, it wouldn't be too hard to automate that; either build up a few hundred strips worth of sentances, or just randomly generate them...
I mod down anyone who says "I will be modded down for this", regardless of the rest of their comment
I swear, someone is putting nonsensical grammar into every single article, just to see how we squirm and ped.
I dont know about you, but I ped myself when I readed that, but I haven't really started squirming yet.. I'll keep you posted.

... which is, of course, Dilbert, updates daily, 7 times a day, for the past few years... There isn't a webcomic out there that could compare to its greatness.
I'll take quality over 5 updates a week anyday.
All those rules! And not one that outlaws posting a picture of "sheep in a snowstorm".

Indistinguishable from half the web comics out there IMHO
No, both your paper and the Dilbert site operate in what is known as the "mysterious future." Therefore, what you see in the newspaper hasn't happened yet, which means you should go around saving people according to it's prophecies, and then vanish from television shortly thereafter due to lack of viewers. Your cat does deliver the paper, right?
