The 2000AD Comic Olympics......Comlypics?

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

I've had an idea. The Olympics start on the 25th of July and end on the 12th August. Could we have a comic competition?

The game is simple. You have the duration of the Olympic Games to produce a (minimum) 8 panel comic, either by yourself or through collaboration.

If enough people were interested I would organize it thusly:

1) The theme would be nationalities. Everyone (or every team) chooses a country* and has to create a comic based on that country. Either the protagonaist or the setting or the general mythology of the story has to be related to the chosen country.
2)A new thread would start on the 25th of July, allowing people to post their entries
3)The thread will be closed on the 12th of August
4) 'Gold', 'Silver' and 'Bronze' 'medals', would be awarded to the entrants, along with an 'Eddie the Eagle Award' for best enthusiastic amateur.
5)Everyone goes back to their normal lives, completely unharmed by the experience.
6)This will not cost the tax payer a single penny
7)Performance enhancing drugs will be allowed

*Or if anyone can suggest an appropriate method, countries will be assigned via a lottery. Otherwise it'll just be first come first serve.
