WHAT'S UP 'MURICANS (AND DERIVITAVES)!!!!! SHOOT YOUR GUN IN THE AIR AND PRAISE THIS COUNTRY!!!!!! BUT FIRST MASK UP AND SEPERATE FOR SAFETY REASONS HELL YEAAAAHHHHH!!!

Speaking of masks and the like, this virus really has done a whole bunch. People had to stop their lives for nearly a year! New York City, dare I say it, almost slept! But hey, with every bad thing comes something good. We got to see the world less polluted, nature actually returned! And in that vain,

Make a comic about Wildlife, Nature, all that Jazz!

Specific Contest Rules

• No "Nature is returning!!!" jokes. Be original, eh?

• While the theme is nature, feel free to also make jokes relating to zoos and aquariums

• Try and incorporate the theme into the comic, y'here? Have states interact with the outdoors!

General Contest Rules

• You must follow the official Stateball Tutorial.

• You must follow the official Constitution of Stateball.

• The comic must have a minimum of 3 panels and a maximum of 8 panels.

• The comic must have been drawn entirely by yourself.

• No animated GIFs accepted.

• No photorealism.

• Post your comic to the subreddit with the blue "Contest Entry" flair.

• You may post more than one entry, but only the highest performing of your comics will be able to qualify for a gun award. For example, if you post two contest entries and they get 1st and 3rd, you do not get two sets of different guns; you would only get the Golden Guns award.

• The deadline for submitting your entry is October 29th at 20:00 GMT

Choosing the winner

After all of the entries have been submitted and the deadline has passed, the moderators will take a private vote to decide the first, second and third places. All entries will be ranked from 1 to 10, with the final score being the average of all votes. The winner of last month's contest will also be allowed to vote on this month's entries.

Once all of our votes are tallied, the full list of results will be posted in an Awards Ceremony thread. The artist who receives the highest score will be awarded the Golden Guns, which they will keep next to their username for one month until the end of the next contest. The Golden Gun recipient will also be able to vote with the mods on the entries for the next contest.

The artists with the second and third highest scores will receive the Silver and Bronze Gun Awards, respectively, which will act in a similar manner.

SO YOU FUCKS GET THE FUCK DRAWING OR I'LL FUCKING SWEAR I'LL SAY FUCK ONE MORE TIME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH GOOD FUCKING LUCK
