Nothing!
But congratulations to Harold, the winner of the August Name the Evil Pink Aliens Competition with his winning names of Grumble and Grudge. And because we like to break the rules here, we’ve decided to have a second winner as well with facelikeafryingpan.wordpress.com coming in as our winner of the middle names for our evil pink aliens with Hank and Chester.
Check out the other notable entries and see why the judges found it so hard to decide.
And for today’s cartoon, check out below.
Good with names? Well, this month’s competition is designed for you!
Nick name our two latest characters – the evil pink aliens with purple spots and fluffy feathers
What are you waiting for?
July Cartoon Competition is officially opened!….And now for the cartoon for the day…..
Liz married 8 times (one she remarried, making it 7 husbands), but in the celebrity stakes, Zsa Zsa Gabor beat her by one, marrying 9. If you exclude celebrities, then a grandmother from Indiana, Linda Wolfe, must take the ultimate ‘prize’, having been married 23 times.
Right oh, only 11 days to go until the June 3 Click Competition ends. Entry is free and 3 small clicks from you translate into one BIG click for the cartoons.
Hugh was inspired by the following mathematical discovery, in the making of this winning caption above and this other entry ‘Bill and Ben didn’t really understand the Double Bubble Conjecture, but they did throw themselves wholeheartedly into a practical demonstration.’
“When two round soap bubbles come together, they form a double bubble as on the right in Figure 1. Unless the two bubbles are the same size, the surface between them bows a bit into the larger bubble. The separating surface meets each of the two bubbles at 120 degrees. This precise shape is now known to have less area than any other way to enclose and separate the same two volumes of air, even wild possibilities as on the left in Figure 1, in which the second bubble wraps around the first, and a tiny separate part of the first wraps around the second. Such wild possibilities are shown to be unstable by a new argument which involves rotating different portions of the bubble around a carefully chosen axis at different rates. The breakthrough came while Morgan was visiting Ritoré and Ros at the University of Granada last spring. Their work is supported by the National Science Foundation and the Spanish scientific research foundation DGICYT.” (Link) Got nothing to do tonight? Why not read the paper?
Especially for those who don’t want to think too hard in order to win a fantastic prize!
Yes, I have ulterior motives. Call it an engineers approach to marketing. Click here (that counts as #1 click) to find out more and enter.
Is your clicking finger up to the challenge?
You can visit Froggwell at their blog site – it’s all about ‘Great art, in a great setting’
And the answer to the jelly bean question is 178 (‘My gosh! -That’s a lot. You are very industrious creating all those images.’ I hear you cry. And my response is ‘Yes, it is. I’m still recovering’).
As always, thanks for all your entries. If you missed out this time, not to worry – enter the May competition and try again.
Kick and a punch for the first day of the month, plus an added bonus of a new competition for May 2012. Be the first enter here!
Well, not really ‘how many jellybeans in the jar’, more like, ‘how many images in my latest release Flip toon’. I just thought this would be a good analogy.
So this competition has been especially released for those of you who prefer the ‘guessing’ type competition, versus the ‘effort’ type competition. It shouldn’t take you more than 15 seconds to enter, and there’s a prize for the winner!
