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 SBD.

Are you an experienced artist? You can participate easily. Are you a beginner like us? No problem. This contest is open to every humor-loving Steemian.

Rules

1. Make a post of a comic strip you made

2. It could be a single panel or a multi-panel comic strip - the length doesn't matter

3. Could be a silent comic too - without words.

4. The comic strip has to follow this contest theme

5. The comic has to be original and made by you

6. Digital and conventional art is valid

7. Use any drawing materials you want

8. Use #pinkyandspiky as your first tag

9. Upvote and Resteem this post

10. Comment this post with link to your entry and a picture so people can see them

11. The contest is open until Monday, November 19 12:00 PM UTC

Theme: Pinky And Spiky Get A New Mattress

Yesterday Ausra's cousin brought a new comfortable mattress for us. Will you come up with some exciting and funny comic strip about this? I'm sure you will.

Rewards

Every participating entry will receive our upvotes. Additionally, 3 winners will be rewarded some SBD and STEEM in the following manner:

1st Place: 4 SBD + 3 STEEM donated by @curie

2nd Place: 3 SBD + 2 STEEM donated by @curie

3rd Place: 2 SBD + 1 STEEM donated by @curie

Note About Self-Votes:

Because @laputis and I don't keep SBD raised from our own posts to ourselves but rather donate to support not only this contest, but also Artstorm and Steemit Webcomics Contests, we hope Pinky and Spiky fans will understand the importance of our self-votes too. This way everybody wins - not only we can afford bigger prize pool but also bigger donations.

The way we see it, it's not a self-vote at all - it's our way to help grow Steemit artist community. Oh and by the way, even if we get more Steem Power from our posts, this also means larger upvotes for contest participants.

So please encourage everyone who participate in @deemarshall's #artstorm and @cobmaximus #steemit-webcomics contests to vote on our posts too because these contests will receive greater donations from us...

Then the whole game is an endless cycle of giving and receiving. And then we all grow together faster... Isn't this what life is all about?

Judging

This week we will choose the winners ourselves. We will pick winners based on what made him/her laugh the most. We 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 Week 33!

We hope to see even more entries next week!

And now go wild with Pinky and Spiky!
