Okay, so here's the thing. Over on the rules discussion thread, people proposed that we let the winner of last week's contest decide the theme for this week's. To prevent timing issues, I was to PM the top few contestants before the voting ended and ask their theme submissions. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to do that. Since Blurrycloud is week 35's winner, he gets to decide; he has until Monday night/Tuesday to post a theme here, or I'll think of one.

The only other Phelddagrif is Questing Phelddagrif.
So you can work with both/either images if you want.
And NO...
Putting the hippo, savannah lions, and a chicken together and calling it Zoo is out of topic.

You can only use both the images of phelddagrif and questing phelddagrif
Post here if you have other images of other phelddagrifs.
Otherwise it is not allowed.
The point is to make a competition of making signatures.
Not who can find the best looking pictures.

and how are so many (even 5 people) going to make varying signatures on the pheld?
Yes, everyones' signature is going to have the same render. And so the best one wins.

i believe the theme creator should post an example first...
this reduces the advantage that he has in choosing the theme
so this is an example... and my contest entry
i don't mind if the 2 previous entrees before me change their entrees...
with the permission of the mods of course..
@blurrycloud—
Not to rain on your parade or anything, but you've used artwork that was not on either Phelddagrif pic. That starry background is extremely cool, but you should clerify (for those who require clarification of such details) that the foreground art must be Phelddagrif-y. If your banner is any indication, entrants are free to use whatever sort of thematic background they like, eh?
Just as a note - in the future, the theme decider will not have this much control over the rules. Because people have already created sigs based on this theme, I'll let it be, but the future deciders shouldn't get their hopes up.
any objections to me posting a fun banner based on this theme (not for an entry but for a laugh?)
No, that's absolutely fine. I'd appreciate it if you put bold text or something in the post saying it's not your submission, though, so I don't get confused :p.
If you make a banner following the rules, why can't it be a submission?
Or are the funny entries banned again?
It wouldn't be his official submission because he already made an official submission :p.
Quote from Watza »
Wouldn't it be better to wait till the end of the contest? I mean someone might be using that idea for their entry and for an "unofficial" submission to ruin theirs would be quite harsh IMHO.
I fail to see why an unofficial submission would ruin a similar official submission :confused:.
Yes, I okayed it. On the basis that it's an anagram, and the rules were too restrictive. Anyone who really wants to can edit a pic of Mr. G into their banners (no major restructuring, though).
Ok, for a laugh I have attached this banner, it doesn't comply with the rules anyway and it will probably be only funny to a few of you out there who have read "There's a Hippopotamus on our Roof Eating Cake": http://www.hazeledwards.com/books/hippo/hippoonourroof.htm
as a child.
YOU WIN THE PRIZE!
That is like, the coolest book ever. I used to read it all the time.
Wow! It's rather amazing what you can do with just one/two pics. I think this is a nice idea to revisit in the future (that is, the pick 1 or 2 cards and let everyone make a banner around those cards).

By the way, if anybody wants to ban my entry for not including Pheldagriff...
Look closer. It's a Pheldagriff cut in two and mirrored through the cut.
