1.  All entries must be easy to draw.

2.  A description of the character is not required,
     but it'll certainly get you brownie points.

3.  Send a sketch (or bio) of your character to
     sergeant_bomar@juno.com. All entries must be
     received by midnight on Wednesday, January
     31st, 2001.

4.  Entries will be judged by a committe consisting 
     of Dan Frioli.  Criteria will include but not be 
     limited to drawability, comic potential, and 
     originality.

5.  First prize will consist of piece of original, 
     hand-drawn Kan Kong artwork (note that these
     rules have an extremely loose definition of the
     word "artwork"), as well as at least three 
     appearances in the comic by the character.

6.  Legal stuff:
     All entries are considered derivative works of 
     "The Crudely Drawn Adventures of Kan Kong" 
     but remain the intellectual properties of their
     creators.  The winning creator agrees to allow 
     Dan Frioli to use his or her character as he 
     sees fit within the context of the comic strip.  All
     other use of the character is at the creator's
     discretion.

7.  English translation of legal stuff:
     If you win, I can use your character any way I 
     want within the confines of the strip.  Outside
     the strip, it's yours and yours alone.

We're not expecting a whole lot of entries, so we're basically defining "runner-up" as "someone who actually bothered to enter."  Just so you know.
