confessions update
I'm only doing this because I've had to delete almost half of the submissions I've received over the past week.
Okay, I finally had to spell out some of the rules for confessions submissions on the confessions page. Just in case it still isn't clear, if you're submitting something for confessions, submit something that happened to you. Or something you did. Or something someone else did.
Stuff similar to what we're looking for is already on the confessions page. Stuff we're not looking for include:
1. Stuff for the bartender to say.
2. A confession about the comic strip. That's crap like "I superglued my pants to your bar stool.", "I stole the border from the third panel of this comic.", and "I can hold my arm up like this for hours." We can probably add "I didn't follow directions when submitting previous confessions." to this list.
3. Instructions on how the bartender and/or the customer are supposed to be positioned in a panel.
4. Back-and-forth dialogue between the customer and bartender.
5. Although I said it's okay to lie, if you send in something that's obviously fake, it gets trashed. That's crap like "I faked the moon landings for NASA."
6. References to the other comic strips here at thesnakefarm.com
Basically, if you're just trying to be funny, don't. If you've got some sort of short secret you'd like to share anonymously with the world, you've found the right place.
Thanks! I couldn't have done the comic without you!
