In the air of the current financial crises I might say, "yes there is still a bit too little regulation"...

Thanks for making me feel sane again... I mean at some point I relly thought I was being a silly person with no idea of something really basic everyone knows...


A fun round anyway and some really nice pics!

But anyway we should think of this for the next one. Like the lawmakers in the U.S., how to regulate it enough for it to work but not to shun individual effort?

This one was quite strange! I just don't know what to say. My favourite part was the one that said THE End, though!

That would probably give the comic enough glue to string together some plot, but not too much at the loss of perfect insanity.
Maybe something like a 'choose your own adventure' book, where some of the plot remains, but the result for the different parts is wholly up to the team's devices and imagination.

I'm in for the next one.

Sorry but I'm too tired to think of any ways to improve the coherency right now. I promise to think about it tomorrow or some other day.

This was very amusing but I agree that the format is still a tad too unclear or that it doesn't work out perfectly yet. Hmmm... would this game totally lose its point if it became more papertelephoneish so that we actually established a list of the order in which we draw, and then everybody could see the panel the previous person had drawn (but not the ones before it)? (And did I explain clearly enough?)

I enjoyed playing this game (even though, last time I was very bad, because I did not send in a picture). Why don't we start it up again! Anybody want to?
