So you're browsing the morning newspaper looking through the funnies. Looks like Beetle Baily and Sarge are at it again. Oh man look at this, Hagar the Horrible is in trouble with his wife again. When is he going to learn? Wait, what's this next strip:  .....What the gently caress is this poo poo and what is it doing between Hagar the Horrible and Mary Worth?It's Mallard Fillmore! America's favorite conservative talking anthropomorphic duck and somehow still syndicated in almost every major paper. Started in 1992 by Bruce Tinsley, Mallard has been on the right side of the funnies for over twenty years. Who could forget all of Mallard's wacky adventures like that one time when Mallard called Jon Stewart a pedophile because he made fun of him in America: The Book:  And then there was that one time when Mallard delivered a lukewarm burn to Judge Roderick McGillivray because he convicted Bruce Tinsley of a DUI:  The Contest: Your mission should you choose to accept it is to make Mallard Fillmore funny through any means necessary. You could edit an existing strip, or draw something from scratch if that's more your style. The best place to find Mallard Fillmore strips is https://www.mallardfillmore.com which keeps an archive that goes all the way back to Dec 29,2003. Don't feel like trudging through all that hate? Rubbercat has a Mallard Fillmore Watch that showcases some of the duck's worst moments here: http://rubbercat.net/mt/mallard/ Edit: Also, your entry has to be something you made since the contest started. If you have an older edit/drawing you can still post it to inspire others but it won't count as a contest entry. If you do an edit it's a good idea to show the original for context. Here's a few examples to give you an idea of what we're looking for: Original:  Edit:  Original:  Edit:   Original:  Edit:  By Faithmouse:  By Rubbercat:   By Deep Hurting:         The prizes: 1st prize: A custom smilie, a forums upgrade of your choice, and an avatar cert 2nd prize: A forums upgrade of your choice and an avatar cert 3rd prize: An avatar cert Winners will be chosen by a secret cabal of your superiors and the contest deadline is February 22, good luck!

McCain/Palin was the most moderate ticket the GOP could run in 2008 that is actually pretty shocking.

 One hour in and already we got a contender!alnilam posted:Thanks Koishi! The way I do it is I painstakingly paste words and letters from a real strip. It's very labor intensive and I don't recommend it unless you have a lot of free time.I just do it that way because I got my start in doing edits by making fake strips and trying to trick goons into thinking they were real. But you bring up a good point: Your entry doesn't have to look like a real strip, the judges will only be considering how funny your entry is.

There were a few weeks in 2013 where Tinsley would not shut up about how the media would not shut up about Michelle Obama's bangs.  I lost the original I used for the edit and decided I could do a better job anyway, so I redid it. Original  Edit

I'm not good with image editing, so I decided to take inspiration from another series instead. May I present, Fillmore Minus Fillmore. I think its an improvement.

Anthropomorphic Republican Talking Duck and Mallard Swillmore should be brought in for inspiration (when I try to find them I only get dead images  ).

You guys are doing really good! I didn't think we'd be getting so many entries by now and it's only day 2! I found a site that should help you all get through that first grueling step of sifting through a huge archive looking for that one cartoon that's just begging to be edited: http://rubbercat.net/mt/mallard/

Hey Bruce, Schedule C income is more prone to audit due to the relative ease of bullshitting expenses and/or understating income - I won't even charge you for that information!

April 19 2007:  There's other examples of this but I can't be arsed to look them up.

ThirdPartyView posted:Anthropomorphic Republican Talking Duck and Mallard Swillmore should be brought in for inspiration (when I try to find them I only get dead images The inebriated duck call has been heard:    * An explanation of the "Rachel Ray Terror Scarf" reference...      These followed a series of strips Tinsley did celebrating 15 years of his alcoholic ramblings somehow being published in newspapers:   * Interestingly, Tinsley did his own "Mallard gets fired" story a year or so after these, though I don't know if he ever actually resolved that, or if he just forgot, and had the character randomly back at work, after awhile...    * That's Tinsley, above, as seen in his DUI mug shot, or the classic "80-90 hours of research" video... the contents of the first three dialogue balloons were copied verbatim from a Mallard Fillmore strip, including the extremely sloppy text placement in the second one... I assume Tinsley was even drunker than usual when he drew it... Finally, here's a fairly newish one that followed a series of strips Tinsley did about spanking, or maybe Brett Noel was filling in for him that week, I don't know:
