Do you like the quirky humor of our piglet Pinky and hedgehog Spiky? Can you relate with the screw-ups of Spiky? Or perhaps you have something in common with the order-loving Pinky? Or maybe you like their pets - Cornelius the purple cardinal, Dietrich the mouse, Victor the spider and Betsy the butterfly? They sure add lots of fun to the situations. Here's the thing: my wife Ausra - @laputis and I invite you to join in a contest to draw our beloved imaginary friends and win some STEEM.

Theme: Spiky And the In-Laws

Yesterday I took my in-laws to their family cemetary. We planted flowers, raked leaves and lit some candles. Then we went to @laputis mom's native village and picked some apples from the old apple-tree. Will you come up with some exciting and funny comic strip about how Spiky might interact with his in-laws? I'm sure you will.

Rewards

Every participating entry will receive a portion of our upvotes (we apologize that we can no longer give 100 percent upvotes with so many participants). Additionally, 3 winners will be rewarded some STEEM in the following manner:

1st Place: 10 STEEM

2nd Place: 6 STEEM

3rd Place: 4 STEEM

Guest Judge: 2 STEEM

500 ORGANDUO coins for every participant and a guest judge

Judging

This week we will ask @izaid to be a guest judge whose task will be to pick 3 winners and leave a comment with their choice under this post as soon as possible after the deadline has passed to submit entries. If the guest judge is unavailable or will be late with their nominations, we will pick the winners ourselves. The judge will pick winners based on what made them laugh the most. They will also take into consideration the quality of the comic strip as well - how well it is drawn. However, humor is the most important thing here because when we start drawing, our technique and style isn't at the level of an artist with 10000+ hours of experience.

Our goal here is to support the community while inspiring to create some amazing art and add more laughter to everyone's day.

Questions, comments, ideas? Please let us know your feedback about this contest.

Support our fellow contestants - upvote, resteem and comment their entry to let them know specifically what did you appreciate about their drawing.

Also stay tuned for the post about winners from last week!

We hope to see even more entries next week!

And now go wild with Pinky and Spiky!
