Single panel cartoons are exactly what they're called... a cartoon made up of just one panel. These single panel cartoons generally contain practically any style of art imaginable along with a gag or punchline. Successful single panel cartoons usually have the gag or punchline in the forefront and the art must simply compliment.

Here's an example of a single panel cartoon:

Single panel cartoons can be found practically everywhere! Newspapers, magazines, advertisements... even on the web! The reason is because they're simple, independent, can cover any genre or topic and easily gets the point of humor across quickly.

Now that you know what a single panel cartoon is... it's time to work on your very own single panel cartoon! :D What we'll do here is agree on a subject matter/topic to make a cartoon about, set a deadline and let your imagination and creativity run wild!!! Writers and artists may do this on their own or may team-up if you like. The object is to make it as funny as possible with art that supports the punchline/gag. Your cartoon can be done in black & white or color. Just post your finished comic here in the wiki by the subject matter/topic's deadline. We'll then enjoy reading everyones cartoons, openly discuss and constructively crit them all in the comment section below afterwords. :) The experience should be fun, entertaining and educational. Thus is the theory of a workshop! :)

2008-08-17 [Yncke]: Wow. That's a very tight deadline to come up with a punch line... O.o

2008-08-17 [Hendercrazy]: I just tossed up a deadline to get this rolling. Got any suggestions for a realistic deadline [Yncke]?

2008-08-17 [Yncke]: No. *grin*

2008-08-17 [Nocturnaliss]: Hey, if you need a punchline, I might have one XD seriously. It's a neat competition.

2008-08-17 [Hendercrazy]: Say four weeks instead of two then? *scratches skull* That's a whole month to put one single panel cartoon together. :)

2008-08-17 [Nocturnaliss]: That's far more realistic :3

2008-08-17 [Yncke]: Sounds good, because I've already got some deadlines on 31st of august. (People tend to prefer the end of the month for deadlines, for some reason :P )

2008-08-17 [Yncke]: Thanks, [Nocturnaliss], if I fail to come up with one, I'll come puppy-eyeing you. :)

2008-08-17 [Nocturnaliss]: No problem, I'll keep the idea fresh in the freezer of my mind ^_^

2008-08-17 [Hendercrazy]: This comment section is already booming! Woohoo!!!!!! :P

2008-08-17 [Yncke]: And the only thing up yet is a single magnificent one panel comic to scare everyone away, who would have thought it. ;) :P
