Comments on: Update on the stick figure contest http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/04/08/update-on-the-stick-figure-contest/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Thanks to everyone who have made suggestions. As you can see, I've tried to be responsive. And thanks to Phil for agreeing to be a judge and helping to promote this shindig.

Neato. It looks like they updated the rules, and have said on the blog that “folks outside the U.S.” can enter. Neato.

I also talked to them about file formats, so Brandon is now accepting PNGs (which are really a superior format for stick figure drawings!).

Brandon was nice enough to inform me of its rejection and allow me to enter a more apropriate comic later. However, the winds been let out of my sails. It may take awhile for me to come up with something else as good as what I submitted. But, I do have a few ideas. I’m guilty of submiting an inapropriate comic.
