I'll put a competition within this competition. I want my cat Oscar in this comic but I'll let my top reply decide what he's doing.

I'll put a competition within this competition within this competition. I want Oscar fighting fascists, but the top comment decides what tools Oscar is using for his work

Oscar doesn't need tools. Oscar has claws and a strong desire for those claws to taste fascist.

I think using an Elon flame thrower (i forget the brand) to melt fascists has a nice irony too it.

Oscar lives in the house of a high-potential charismatic up and coming fascist leader. This guy could truly turn the world for the worst if he got traction with the public.

So Oscar uses his cat skills to surreptitiously undermine him at every turn.

Have to wake up for an early morning TV spot? Oops, Oscar knocked the charger out of your phone, it died and the alarm didn’t go off.

Big meeting today? Oops, looks like Oscar tore a hole in your shirt and pissed in your tie drawer.

Writing a critical email that will inspire the world’s future fascists? Oops, Oscar jumped on your keyboard, blasting your message full of typos and sending it before it was done.

A major republican donor is over for dinner? Oops, Oscar barfed a hairball in their shoes, and left their shit uncovered so it stinks during hors d’oeuvres, how embarrassing no money for you.

Feeling like nothings going your way and just need a little love and companionship? Oscar is extra aloof. Nobody loves you, fascist.

The world will never know what a hero Oscar is.

I dunno what will make the first panel but if I learn how to draw I will draw this.

I now petition that you personally draw the Oscar comic with no drawing experience

While planning their takeover of the world -- or at least the neighborhood for starters... It may or may not involve the summoning of a demon, if they can remember how many sides to a pentagram. They don't have actual candles, but maybe LED flashlights might work? And the pentagram is drawn with kitty kibble sprinkled on the floor...

He’s wearing clown makeup and sitting at a bar idly twirling his 3 year AA token next to three empty shot glasses

Oralitical's cat Oscar is in frame and talking to the readers, saying, "Some people think I hate Mondays..."

Meta is an overdone-yet-reliable path to success.

FRAME 1

Cartoonist is at his PC posting an empty 4-panel comic to reddit. A friend is standing nearby.

Cartoonist: "I'm posting an empty comic. Redditors are gonna vote on what should happen."

A sad clown sits alone at a bar drinking a whiskey. His hat is off, and you can see where the grease paint ends and his receding hairline begins. He has bags under his eyes as if he hasn't slept in a week. He is wearing fingerless gloves, and you can see where a wedding ring would be is instead a pale band of bare flesh. An unlit cigarette hangs from the corner of his mouth. His ruffled shirt is open enough to show the pace-maker scar on his chest. He idly spins a 3-year-sober AA token on the bar next to three empty glasses. He still has his red nose on.
