TODAY'S NEWS: I was telling one of my Awesome Fans about the Vote Incentive comics contest, and she said "So if someone drew a penguin and a dog looking up at Portlandia, you'd come up with a caption for it?" And naturally I said "No! Of course not!" Because that's not what it's about. But on reflection, I decided that perhaps that was a good idea, after all.

So Part 2 of the Vote Incentive Art Contest is just that: Draw a funny picture, and I'll do my best to come up with dialog or a caption for it, and make it into a Vote Incentive comic!* What images lurk in your brain? A clown shampooing an alchemist? Five farriers heckling a jongleur? Two dogs wearing neckties? You draw it, I'll add the words!

And Part 3: Submit a funny Vote Incentive comic of your own! If you've got some comics that you don't know where to publish, send them in!* They'll be seen by the dozens of fans who vote for "Ask Dr. Eldritch" at the ranking sites. As above, I'll give you credit and you'll retain rights to publish them elsewhere. If you're reading this comic, you have a great sense of humor, so give it a shot!

* Submissions must meet the "Ask Dr. Eldritch" editorial standards for taste and humor. Not that our standards are very high, but we have to draw a line somewhere. Therefore, submission does not guarantee use as a Vote Incentive Comic.
