	i dont think so. there are many comics that have no speech or dialogue. my best guess is , that the best pixel is that which expresses the idea the most with little or no text.

	Oooooh. I think I'll enter this one. But it only has a color limit, does that mean that the size 'any', and animation and transparencies allowed? Also, having a transparency for a comic... I dunno, only a few people could pull off something like that and make it look good,

	That is awesome. I'm planning to do a computer themed things simon is a brand, usb slot can be a house- comes in many sizes. I thought about making a really simple one but this seems more entertaining.

	Well poop, with just a little over an hour left I don't think I'm going to finish in time. Oh well, I'll just finish it when I finish it and submit it as a stand-alone.
