Hello ComicWonders!

We at ComicWonder must apologize for the lack of communication over the past couple weeks. Our Annual Halloween carving contest got out of hand and 112 stitches later we are almost back to full staff. A lawsuit is pending but for now we are still operating as ComicWonder. “Larry the Intern’s Joke Website” doesn’t exactly have a ring to it and hopefully the judge will agree.

The good news is that we are backed up on our ComicWonder of the Week awards and it’s time to hit you with 3 hilarious submissions. Firstly, congrats to Joel Elstner for his winning performance of “The Eye Doctor.” Who said Polish jokes were dead? Besides the Polish, of course. They did invent the Submarine screen door. Quite an accomplishment after the backlash from a failed helicopter ejector seat effort.

We also want to celebrate a new–comer to the ComicWonder world who puts his professional joke skills to work on a daily basis. Alan Ray’s jokes have been featured on Jay Leno, morning radio shows and publications like the New York Times and Los Angeles Times and more. Now he’s delivering his daily take on what’s funny in the news to ComicWonder fans every day! Funny and original material that has already earned him a weekly prize. Check in daily to see “what Alan Ray’s Joking about” at ComicWonder by visiting his group page. Don’t be shocked when you hear his spin on the headlines coming out of the mouth of your favorite night time comedian.

We round out the awards with a special salute to this week’s top funnyman. FunnyMAN, that’s foreshadowing. Ryan Seacrest would make you wait until after the commercial break for the winner but we’ll just consider this transitional sentence enough of a teaser.

Congrats to prman214 for “Flying Without a Net”. A clever joke that may require a second listen. We’ll look forward to more submissions from newcomer “prman214” who can surely appreciate the good PR he’ll get for being “an award winning joke teller.” A great way to pad the resume.

While many of you are focused on your Halloween costumes, do take some time to remember that it’s the final week to take part in ComicWonder’s Doctor Joke Contest. It’s your chance at $200 bucks and a priority in line for the swine flu show. Okay, just the cash. We don’t have pull in the H1N1 arena just yet. We will take your best doctor themed jokes until October 31st so pick up the phone and make us laugh! At least tell a joke, we’re getting lots of heavy breathing on the other end of the line. We do like those but need to get a certain amount of joke submissions to keep our license.

With this week’s ComicWonder of the Week win “Doctor, Doctor”, ReedBurns has cemented himself as a consistent high-quality contributer to the ComicWonder community.

His legend has grown now to the top of the hallowed halls of our archives. Along with a handful of others, we can not say ReedBurns is a true ComicWonder legend.

Coming in the next few months will be a special section on ComicWonder celebrating the “Legends of ComicWonder”. We will be taking a look at all the people past and present who have contributed either by telling jokes or being a great community member, and doing a little profile on them. Consider it an old style family barbeque, with horseshoes, lemonade and funny jokes… but without the hurt feelings after a family argument.

We’ll first be fielding suggestions via our forum for ComicWonder legends. Give us who you think and why. We’ll then be taking everything into consideration and making a very small selection for the first list. But that list will grow over time.Thanks again, and keep a look out for ComicWonder Legends in a few months!
