    I've let several October contest honorable mentions come and go without a post, so here's a collection of them. So far we have comics from Bludlemon talking about psychic scream, Twolions painting a picture of baby Thrall, Jagoda mourning a lack of bag space, Taskal pondering the anachronisms in Azeroth, and Gondon showing us what WoW toons do in their free time. And if you've got your own ideas for a great World of Warcraft comic, this comic contest will continue until the end of the year, so get out your pens, pencils, markers, mice, or whatever method of creative expression you desire, and get working on your own submission.

    This honorable mention comes to us courtesy of player Kaigon of Seven Skulls (and, if you can't access the official site from work, you can see a copy of the comic here). The poor Tauren whom you see pictured on the right, is obviously at the end of his rope...And if you've got your own ideas for a great World of Warcraft comic, this comic contest will continue until the end of the year, so get out your pens, pencils, markers, mice, or whatever method of creative expression you desire, and get working on your own submission.

    September's winner cracks me up -- and it does prove that you can win the contest with artistic skills of any level. Didn't think orcs and humans could get along, did you -- well, think again (and read the comic).And if you've got your own ideas for a great World of Warcraft comic, this comic contest will continue until the end of the year, so get out your pens, pencils, markers, mice, or whatever method of creative expression you desire, and get working on your own submission.

    There seem to be two new honorable mentions up for September's comic contest. The first shows us the tedious job of being a warlock while the second shows off this swanky mount.And if you've got your own ideas for a great World of Warcraft comic, this comic contest will continue until the end of the year, so get out your pens, pencils, markers, mice, or whatever method of creative expression you desire, and get working on your own submission.

    While I'm sure this sort of undead joke has been done before, I couldn't help but giggle when I saw this week's comic. Poor undead - if they weren't so very devious and, at times, downright evil, you might have to feel sorry for them.And if you've got your own ideas for a great World of Warcraft comic, this comic contest will continue until the end of the year, so get out your pens, pencils, markers, mice, or whatever method of creative expression you desire, and get working on your own submission.

    I've just noticed that Blizzard's comic contest has announced a new honorable mention as well as August's contest winner. The honorable mention comes curtesy of Sabettan, and explains one of the game's great mysteries. August's winner comes to us from Keydar, and heavily exploits the fact that you cannot help but laugh at a flying Gnome. (Well, okay, I probably would have laughed at a paniced, flying Night Elf, too.)Got your own comic ideas? Put them in a digital format and submit them! The comic contest will be running until the end of the year, so there's still plenty of time to submit your own work for consideration.

    If these are really supposed to be a weekly thing, then they're running early this week - or perhaps they've just had a slew of good entries to feature. At any rate, there's another honorable mention posted. This comic addresses something that's always puzzled me - non-combat pets and stealth. My own rogue has a black tabby that trails along after me, whether I'm stealthed or unstealthed. Isn't this just a dead-giveaway to my enemies? Well, this comic suggests that it may not be...And if you feel you have the talent to compete, the comic contest runs all year, and there's still time to submit your own work for consideration!

    I admit, I find this week's honorable mention comic, by Oscaron, a little puzzling. A tiny mailbox? What? However, that was before I found this - a printable template with which to create your own tiny mailbox, for those times the server is offline. Now that's funny. Again, if you feel you have the talent to compete, Blizzard is running this comic contest all year, and there's still time to submit your own work for consideration!

    July's comic contest winner has been announced. This comic by Barbosa <Anguish> took the grand prize, but you can also check out the month's honorable mentions, which are just as good. If you fancy yourself a comic maker, the contest continues for the rest of the year, with one winner per month - what have you got to loose by trying?

    Blizzard is accepting submissions of WoW related comic strips for posting on the web site.  One "exceptional" comic a month will be chosen to win a prize - a Blizzard-branded iPod Nano and the first two volumes of The Sunwell Trilogy.  Decent rewards, and I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting comics about my favorite pastime.  (Posted above is a portion of a strip from Mac Hall - a personal favorite.)
