Do you like the quirky humor of our piglet Pinky and hedgehog Spiky? Can you relate with the screw-ups of Spiky? Or perhaps you have something in common with the order-loving Pinky? Or maybe you like their pets - Cornelius the bird, Dietrich the mouse, Victor the spider and Betsy the butterfly? They sure add lots of fun to the situations.

Theme: Spiky Saving The Sewage
A few days ago we had a terrible rain. Ausra discovered that our toilet is making some funny bubbling noises. We went to see and found out that it would soon overflow! I went outside to check what's happening with the sewage and sure enough - both pits were full. Water everywhere!
I grabbed a bucket and started working like crazy. All the while heavy rain was falling. After some 30 minutes the water range in the toilet returned within the normal range but I continued to draw the water from the pit. I did it for a couple of hours and then the pit wasn't full anymore. But I had to sleep downstairs next to the toilet just in case it overflows again because it rained entire night. In the morning I woke up, took a special pump and a hose and emptied out both sewage pits. Happy ending!
Will you come up with some exciting and funny comic strip about this? I'm sure you will.

Judging
This week we would like to ask @steempampanga to be the guest judge. The guest judge will pick winners based on what made him/her laugh the most. The guest judge will also take into consideration the quality of the comic strip as well - how well it is drawn. However, humor is the most important thing here because when we start drawing, our technique and style isn't at the level of an artist with 10000+ hours of experience. If guest judge is not available, @laputis and I will judge the entries ourselves.
Our goal here is to support the community while inspiring to create some amazing art and add more laughter to everyone's day.
Questions, comments, ideas? Please let us know your feedback about this contest.

We hope to see even more entries next week!
And now go wild with Pinky and Spiky!
