Normally I go with my gut instinct, but due to a mess up on the previous comic I made, where it just didn't sync up, I'll leave it to you fine folk. I drew out 3 of the ideas, the first two panels don't change, so you don't really have to reread them, but without further ado, here we go:

So what do you guys think?
I also scripted out another version, where it goes up until the hand, then cuts to kids staring at a TV screen, then the final panel is a teacher telling another teacher, "wait until they see the safe sex video".

Also note, that I know about all the little mistakes, the shadows, texture, backgrounds and whatnot will be added to the winner at a later time. Thanks a lot, mates.
(There is a similiar poll on SmackJeeves(my other host site) so I'll be pooling the responses).

I'm confused. Like really confused. I get you're playing on the whole fag = gay guy joke. But why does the obviously young kid, out of nowhere kill the guy?

It doesn't make sense, not even in a quirky pull a random event on the reader sort of way, it's just..baffling. I see no real connection between the first two panels, and the rest.

If you kept around the drug dealer, in the background of the first variation, it makes more sense. Right now the lack of background and vanishing characters makes for some confusion.

It's a second meaning for 'smoke'. I presume it comes from 'gun smoke', to shoot dead, and then just to kill...
ah, the vagaries of slang...

So anyway, "smoke a fag" can mean "kill a gay man". nasty

I like the first one best. The second one also works, but it's a bit more elaborate. The 3rd one is way too elaborate.
Simple is best though, so number one is my choice. You can run number two as well, just as a joke on the first one.

None of them made me smile, but I'd say the first one is the best. The other ones, I didn't even understand.

I liked the first one best but most people don't know that a fag is another term for a smoke.

I only knew because my gay friend finds it's amusing to tell people he's about to go smoke a fag.

that last one one was really good, maybe a two part, half of the last one and the second half as part two, really good idea. But the whole conceot of a short quick punch is obivous the first. But a really nice extetened punchline the last.
