Alright fellas, it's that time again! We got roughly a week to decide what the next comic is going to be. To be precise, the voting will close by next Wednesday at 8pm mexico city time. I'll leave Thursday free in case we need to make a tie-breaker or something.
So, how exactly does this work? If you got an idea for a comic, type it down in the comments. Rounder, more complete ideas tend to get more votes, as opposed to one liners or simple prompts.
Also I think by now we all agree variety is desired, so if the last comic was about a particular topic or thematic, the next one would be appreciated if it is about something different.
My suggestions for pitching ideas are:
Think of the characters you wanna see, and think of a potential conflict (It can be, but it doesn't need to be super complex, could be "Mugger is late to work" or "Fel tries X toy" or whatever) that either starts, or must be resolved by banging.
When you post your idea, give us a rough concept of how the first one or two pages should look like. I need to start working from whatever comment wins, and sometimes it's hard to start in the direction you initially wanted to go without, well, direction.

Another good way of fleshing out ideas is to think of where the story starts, and where it ends. The details of how we get there can be worked out over the course of the pages. This also works for thinking out how the first page or two should be like.
That's it. Thinking caps on.
REMEMBER TO GIVE A LIKE (THE HEART ICON) TO ALL THE IDEAS YOU'RE OK WITH, INLCUDING YOUR OWN. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE JUST ONE (explanation)
