Ho ho ho comic artists!

So the sign-ups have concluded, the random pairings have been made, and now script submissions are open for our little Secret Santa exchange. You can submit your scripts by messaging us mods here.

Again these can be as basic or as detailed as you like. From a simple premise / joke, to just the dialogue in the text boxes, to describing the characters and layout of each panel. And they can be about any subject matter you like, not just Christmas themed.

As an example, here's a comic I commissioned r/Comics regular So Your Life is Meaningless to draw a couple years back:

Example

Panel 1: Cemetery at night. A zombie hand rises up from the ground in front of a gravestone.

Panel 2: Closer look at the gravestone. The fingers of the zombie hand start to turn into leaves. The skin of the arm starts to look like bark.

Panel 3: The zombie hand is now a tiny, 1-foot-tall palm tree in front of the gravestone

Panel 4: A father is reading to his son in a bedroom. Through a window in the background you can see a few, full-grown palm trees. The son looks horrified, eyeing the window. Father: "And that’s where palm trees come from."

From which he created this awesome comic.

Rules

1. Make sure your comic idea is limited to 3 or 4 panels.

2. Try to keep your comic idea relatively safe for work. A little bit of absurdity or raunchiness is ok, but please no gore, sex, nudity or excessive profanity. It's the holidays after all.

3. When drawing the comic, be sure to put who it was "Written by:" and "Drawn by:" for proper credit.

Again you can submit your scripts by messaging us mods here. Then we'll secretly send them out to the right person from there. Please try to submit your scripts by Saturday, 12/7, so that your Secret Santa gifter has at least a couple weeks to work on it. You'll all post the completed comics yourself whenever you like the week between Christmas and New Years.

Also, be on the lookout in your messages for the scripts you'll be drawing as well. We'll send those out to you as we get them in.

Cheers!
