Comic Jam Sign-up

Up first is a Comic Jam! Here's how it works:

1.) Draw the first panel of your comic in the upper-left corner of your page.
You can do this by drawing on paper however you want, and then scanning it into the computer OR draw start to finish on the computer. Regardless of your methods, in the end you are going to need software that manipulates images. I recommend Photoshop or Gimp (which is free, and can be found here).

2.)Pass the comic on to the next person.
You will be provided with two e-mail addresses at the start of the game. One that you will pass to, and one that you will receive from. (Never confuse the e-mails, it messes up the game). As you pass to one person, another person is passing to you, so when you get the 'new' comic, you draw the second panel.

3.)Repeat passing and drawing panels until the comic you started is returned to you. When the game starts, you will be given instructions on identifying when you have a comic that should be ending.

By the end of the game, every participant should have one comic with the amount of panels equal to the number of players. Here is a video in case you didn't read any of that:

Rules

1) You have to add your panel to any comic within 24 hours of receiving it. You are welcome (and encouraged) to finish them sooner than 24 hours.

2) TRY to stay away from foul things. If it can't be helped, do it tastefully or cover it up, please.

3) All files MUST be saved as a JPEG (.jpg). Keep files at a reasonable size (if your panel is big enough to be a desktop background, it is too big. Resize accordingly.)

4) When you finish a panel, send the entire comic ONLY to the address you've been provided with. Honor system, everyone will have a chance to see it when the game is over.

5) Only draw one panel in each comic.

This round of the Comic Jam will start Thursday, February 11, at 12:00 P.M on the West coast, (03:00PM on the East coast).This is the time you will be receiving an e-mail with details on where to send your comic. (You are welcome to get started on the first frame early if you like. To sign up, please read below:
