Title: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: app103 on March 02, 2008, 01:38 AM: I was doing a little research on what is available in the way of tools to create your own web comics, easily. I found a greate site that was sort of along the lines of what I was thinking of.

Strip Generator (http://stripgenerator.com/) lets you create your own comic strips with drag & drop ease, with lots of characters, props, creatures, shapes, talk & think balloons, etc.

It's a lot of fun to play with.

And now for the contest...

While playing around with some of the stuff there, I saw a few familiar things that reminded me of this site and created this little single frame comic:

All you have to do is fill in the talk/think bubbles with the conversation that took place between mouser & cody, during this little visit.

Mouser will be giving away a prize of a mug to the winner...with the winner's captioned image printed on it! (how cool is that?!)

Deadline to submit your captioned image is March 21, 2008.

Good luck! I am really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. :D

Post by: Aku on March 02, 2008, 05:44 AM: Ok. Let's see if anyone gets this?

Cody: You're not drinking your coffee?
Mouser: You have a beak and you only filled my cup half way...

Are we allowed to post more than 1 idea?

Post by: f0dder on March 02, 2008, 09:14 AM: Cody: I just spent the winter in the land of farr, farr away, and the kids there look starved.
Mouser: hm, perhaps we could send them some unicows.
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: nudone on March 02, 2008, 09:19 AM: it looks like mouser has a thought balloon and cody has a speech balloon so here's what i think...

cody: would you like a cup of tea, mouser? there aren't any worms in it.

mouser: if that is true then why has your beak grown like Pinocchio's nose?

Post by: mouser on March 02, 2008, 10:03 AM: i hate to break it to everyone but since i was there i can report the true captions:
Cody: "A fine cup of tea."
Mouser: "Quite so."
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: mouser on March 06, 2008, 07:59 PM: I think we all now know what the conversation was:

Cody: It's ok to put the DCserver root password in my AOL email signature, right?
Mouser: Oh bother..

;D
That's not fair...you aren't allowed to have such a great caption. What if yours wins? It's going to be hard to beat that one.
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: CleverCat on March 07, 2008, 12:22 AM: Cody: Blah blah blah blah.......

Mouser: Bird Brain!

(Just kidding Cody!) ;D
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: nite_monkey on March 07, 2008, 01:12 AM: As long as Cody is a talk bubble, and Mouser is a thought bubble

Cody:So there I was, just minding my own business...
Mouser:Did I ever finish coding that last FARR update?... Oh wait, I'm supposed to be talking to Cody!
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: TucknDar on March 07, 2008, 02:07 AM: Since Cody talks and mouser thinks:

Cody: So, mouser, what kind of tea is this? It's really good!

mouser: I bet you taste like chicken...
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: f0dder on March 07, 2008, 07:05 AM: Cody talking, mouser thinking... and apologies to TucknDar for the blatant ripoff :P

Cody: I removed the password for the subversion user, it was too much hassle.
mouser: I bet you taste like chicken...
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: mouser on March 07, 2008, 07:23 AM: tuck, lol.

;D

No problem, f0dder. Actually I think mouser's thoughts would suit pretty much anything Cody says ;)
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: Deozaan on March 07, 2008, 02:29 PM: Cody with a British Accent: "....finally, Mr. Bondmouser, I infect DonationCoder with a trojan and take over the world! Mwa ha ha ha ha!"

Mouser: .oO (You'll never get away with this! I know karate, kung-fu, tae kwon do, and other Chinese words!)
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: Darwin on March 07, 2008, 06:53 PM: TaeKwonDo is Korean... karate is a Japanese derivative of Kung Fu... Watch it, Deozaan, you'll be ruffling some feathers (heh, heh - pun accidental) :P
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: TucknDar on March 08, 2008, 01:39 AM: Cody: Oh, man, mouser. I'm so glad the server is back up. It felt like I'd lost my home. I don't know how to really thank you...
mouser: I bet you taste like chicken...

Any more chicken-jokes? ;)
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: p3lb0x on March 08, 2008, 08:10 AM: Cody: I taste like chicken
Mouser: Heeey, I was thinking that a minute ago

lol

Don't blame me! Mouser was thinking it!
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: mouser on March 18, 2008, 12:32 AM: Only a few more days for this..
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: Renegade on March 18, 2008, 05:40 AM: karate, kung-fu, tae kwon do
-Deozaan (March 07, 2008, 02:29 PM)

Actually, they're Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. :)

Post by: Renegade on March 18, 2008, 05:51 AM: Cody:
So I join the DC Coder's Breakfast Club (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=12198.0) and figure the best way to start is with a cup of Java (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_coffee)...

Mouser:
Oh brother... Bird brain seems more "F (http://research.microsoft.com/fsharp/fsharp.aspx)" than "C (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language))", "+ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B)" or "# (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_%28programming_language%29)" today...
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: Target on March 19, 2008, 01:34 AM: Cody: ...someone hacked the server by exploiting some old software to get root access. Thankfully they were only in the machine for 1-2 hours before I discovered them and locked down access to all services...
Mouser: a talking chicken, that's all we need...
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: Rover on March 25, 2008, 02:26 PM: Cody: ... and then I was talking Alan and he said. ... blah blah blah..
Mouser: One of these days bird... POW! right in the kisser.
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: app103 on April 23, 2008, 12:59 PM: Sorry for the long delay, but a winner will be picked and announced on Friday.

So you have 3 more days to think up captions for this.
Title: Caption Contest Winner Announcement!
Post by: app103 on April 29, 2008, 01:44 PM: Sorry this has taken so long, but I keep forgetting. I am not that organized lately.

Ok, I have picked a winner...

The chicken jokes were funny, but I think this one was the best:

Cody talking, mouser thinking... and apologies to TucknDar for the blatant ripoff :P

Cody: I removed the password for the subversion user, it was too much hassle.
mouser: I bet you taste like chicken...
-f0dder (March 07, 2008, 07:05 AM)

Congratulations, f0dder!
PM or email mouser with your address, so he can mail you your mug.
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: TucknDar on April 29, 2008, 03:45 PM: Congrats to f0dder! I knew it needed a good chicken-joke to win it ;) Since it's a ripoff, I expect to take a sip of coffee from your mug if there's ever a Northern Europe/Scandinavian get-together!

Oh, and remember to post a picture of you with the mug once you get it :up:
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: nudone on April 30, 2008, 12:48 AM: well done f0dder, i'm also looking forward to seeing the photo.
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: f0dder on April 30, 2008, 08:01 AM: Wow, nice! :)

I'll definitely post a mugshot (hehe) when it arrives.
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: f0dder on June 12, 2008, 05:04 PM: /me mutters something about (still) not having any decent sized mug to drink ~~coffee~~ the nectar of life from.
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: f0dder on July 03, 2008, 09:15 AM: As promised, here's the mug shot :P - as the jpeg filename says, "it helps in the mornings".

Thanks plenty, now I can pour (almost) the entire contents of my bodum coffee thingy in a single ~~cup~~mugful, instead of 3-4 small puny cups :-* :-* :-*

(Yes, I need a haircut and a beard-trimming).
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: app103 on July 03, 2008, 11:07 PM: Oh wow! It looks great! I was so afraid it wouldn't look so good because of the size of the original image was small.

And I get to see the face that goes with the name, too. :Thmbsup:
Title: Re: Comic Strip Generator (and March Caption Contest Announcement!)
Post by: f0dder on July 04, 2008, 07:31 AM: It looks pretty nice indeed, the only thing that's a bit fuzzy is the "f0dder's winning contest entry" part, but even that isn't too bad. Thanks for the mug again, I'm enjoying it (or it's contents :D ) right now :-*
