Apologies if you inadvertantly got spoiled by this cartoon. This is a scene from one of the latest Heroes episodes (in fact, I'm just now downloading the very next episode so I'm going to try and watch it before I get spoiled by submitted punchlines). It features the time travelling Hiro encountering his future's self in what is commonly known in the trade as the "Marty McFly effect". Note - in this week's cartoon, you can submit one or two punchlines. Eg - either for Hiro (present) or Hiro (future). Also note that if it works better for your joke, I can flip the characters around (I drew them separate to the background for flexibility). The winning punchline was submitted by Nazgul. There were 11 finalist punchlines chosen for this cartoon. You can read the transcript of IRC Judging Session #512 where we decided the winning punchline. This cartoon was archived on 2007-05-10.
