Yes, we are fully aware of the implications of today’s strip. In this little lock-and-key universe, the fact that the locks are wearing their genitalia proudly on their chests like the Kryptonian “S” of Superman does not escape us. And indeed the men are essentially giant upright penises, bouncing around like Tigger from one adventure to the next.
But that’s not I’m here to talk about. Instead, I’d like to discuss the issue on everyone’s mind today. That’s right. Ghosts. I believe that my driveway is haunted. Hear me out before you callously dismiss me as being paranoid.
I first noticed that something was amiss when I heard intermittent rushing of wind from outside followed by the occasional thud against my window. The only logical conclusion was that these were ghosts staggering around, doomed to fulfill unfinished business. Or they were just bored and clumsy. Either way: Ghosts!
Exhibit 2: I was attempting to carry a fifty-pound package of seeds into the apartment (in an unrelated project to grow my own firewood in my backyard) when it spilled open, scattering a handfuls of seeds all over the porch. “I’ll clean it up in the morning,” I thought, not suspecting that ghouls would intervene (a foolish thought, I know). The next morning, I stumbled out to my front porch still tipsy from my breakfast Windex, and all of the seeds were gone! Unaware that ghosts liked eating tree fetuses so much, I slammed the door behind me as I cowered in fear and quietly hiccupped bubbles.
After three days of sitting by the door listening to the ghosts mill around and chirp to one another in their high-pitched ghost language, the sounds finally subsided and I ventured outside armed with a Dirt-Devil to capture any ghosts that might show themselves.
I investigated the area, and the evidence of ghosts was strikingly clear. There was bright white ectoplasm all over my car and the sidewalk. And it must have been cold because I found a few feathers that likely spilled out of one of the ghosts wearing a down jacket.
This message was a warning. If I suddenly disappear, get your (anti) ghost-gun. It might already be too late.

Wikipedia holds an extensive knowledge base on dinosaurs. This easily-accessed information is occasionally useful for time travelers such as myself. Each article has a reference image for the sizes of these ancient reptiles. It turns out these pictures summed up my feelings and encounters with these wacky dead lizards:
- “Oh, hey triceratops, you are like a James Bond movie; after the really exciting beginning, the rest is pretty dull.”
- “Take it easy, daspletosaurus. I’m using that.”
- “Hello, velociraptor. Thanks to Steven Speilberg, I am disappointed whenever I see the real you.”
- “I’m going to the store for a few hours. You two play nice.”
- “Styracosaurus, you clearly don’t have much dignity so … uh … can I ride you?”
- “Hey, Iguanodon. Stop staring at my junk.”
- “Excuse me, Mr. Brachylophosaurus, but I did not know that you frequented this nudist colony.”
- “Hi, diplodocus. I honestly can’t tell which end I should be talking to.”
- “Howdy, ichthysaurus, I’m pretty sure you’re just a fish. Yes, I know I’m not wearing pants. No, that doesn’t make me less right. And it also doesn’t make you any more of a dinosaur.”
- “I don’t really want to be here.”

We present the results of the AmazingSuperPowers Super Contest: Anniversary Edition!
Honorable Mentions (Prize: Print of “Tiny Knife Fights”):
Most Actually Shot By An Arrow
“Nice Catch” by Roxanne J., and Decker S.
Recreation of “Nice Catch”
Given these people’s willingness to be shot by an arrow to earn silver bullets, we can only assume that they are in immediate danger of werewolves. Best of luck!
Most Totally Late
“Love the Bomb: The Game” by “chubbthehippo”
Game Inspired by “Love the Bomb”
We received this entry days after the contest ended with evidence that he had originally sent it to the wrong e-mail address, securing his spot as “Latest Entry.” Plus the game distracts our hands from sin.
Play the “Love the Bomb” Game
Most Entries Submitted
Chris P.’s many Submissions
111 Entries Based on Every Comic
We’re worried about this man finding out where we live.
Best Statistic in a Game
From “Grumpyfish Game” by Ciaren C.
Game Inspired by Various Comics
At the conclusion of this game, the sole statistic provided is “You hit (#) turds.” I guess that would be the most memorable aspect of every adventure.

Most Hulk
“Oh Nuts” by Phil N.
Recreation of “Oh Nuts”
The Incredible Hulk would make a unfortunate prison guard, but a terrifying cellmate. Also featured hardware doin’ it.
The Winners:
Third Place (Prize: Blackmail against Wes and Tony):
“Hungerman: The Comic Book” by Isaac H.
Inspired by “Hungerman”
Not only was this obviously made with love, but it also made us really want a sandwich.
Second Place (Prize: Six Silver Bullets):
“Rebirth” by Will H. and Kate B.
Recreation of “I’m Flying!”
You’ll notice that Will H. is in our Links section, making him a friend of the site. We were completely objective in choosing our winners, and we in fact received other entries from friends that did not place. This one, however, was super sweet.
Click to Watch the Video
First Place (Three Shirts from our Store, and an Original Drawing):
“Portraits of Hitler” by Jeremy M.
Inspired by “We All Have Regrets”
We love everything about this, including the fact that a man took the time to lovingly Photoshop Hitler’s head on pregnant women with dramatic lighting, and then send the creation to complete strangers. Then the strangers reward him with shirts and drawings.
Take that, Hitler.

After much deliberation, the contest is over and the winners have been notified! Much appreciation for everyone’s participation in this contest. We’ve heard back from all of the winners and will be publishing their entries at the beginning of next week! Thanks again for all of the wonderful entries!
***
Listen up everyone! Tired of showing your appreciation for ASP by staring at the screen so long that our comics become burned into the back of your eyeballs? We’ve got good news for you! We are officially kick starting our Amazing Super Contest: Anniversary Edition. With it, we are giving you the opportunity to show off your talents and make us look like a steaming pile of fish eggs. In retrospect, that’s not exactly very good for us, but we’re too committed to turn back!
Here’s how to enter:
- Pick your favorite AmazingSuperPowers comic strip.
- Recreate it through any medium of your choice. It could be a video, short story, long story, song, poem, series of photographs, single-sentence summary, animation, cave painting, sculpture, or anything else you want. Hell, you could even redraw the damn thing.
- Send us an e-mail at contest (at) amazingsuperpowers (dot) com. In the e-mail you can attach your entry or include a link to someplace where we can see/hear/taste/have-a-wank-to it.
- Win! (Maybe.)
The deadline for entries is on October 12, 2008 at the end of the day.
Here are the prizes:
- First Place: All three shirts from our store and an original ASP drawing of your choice.
- Second Place: Six silver bullets.
- Third Place: Blackmail against Wes and Tony. You will receive a manila envelope full of secrets.
A few little details:
- Please include your name in the entry and use an e-mail address that you check often, otherwise we can’t tell you that you’ve won.
- We’ll be posting the winners and other favorites on the site. By entering you forfeit your right to be totally lame and sue us for what we do with your entry, or if you hurt yourself with our awesome prizes.
- If you have a question about the contest, ask it in the comments below. All entries, however, need to be e-mailed to us.
- Please don’t do anything illegal. Ever.
- As many entries per person as you want (but keep in mind we are judging on quality, not quantity), and go ahead and team up with other people if you want.
- Entries will be judged by Wes and Tony, and it will be totally subjective. Winners will be selected on the merits of how much we like it.
- Yes, this contest is for real. Get to work!
