This is all so terribly good. Tough to decide, but I think there's a lot of potential with this cast of characters that's worth further exploration. Figure out what you want to do. Maybe later I can throw some non-cartoonist perspective your way.
When I came home from Australia after trying to work on Star Wars, I also used the words "complete failure" to describe my endeavor. It is a description born of frustration.
I would be a bad friend if I did not point out (as all MY friends pointed out to me, upon my return to the states!) that this project was not a failure by any means. Your comic may not have been selected, but I have no doubt that you learned a lot about yourself and your craft in meeting this deadline and creating this new strip.
You never know how things will work out. Perhaps the chosen strip will run for a year and then be canceled, whereas ideas you generated in this process may be published for a much longer span.
I still think the best thing to come out of this is that you were chosen as one of the top 50 (FIFTY!) amateur cartoonists working in America. That's amazing Josh. It seems to me that it'll only be a matter of time before you hit on the right idea which'll send you up to the big leagues.
Keep at it man, and don't be too hard on yourself!
Thanks for all your kind words. I'm a little bummed but otherwise OK with the outcome. It was a good experience overall. My own October post-season.
I really would like to work some more on this concept, so I'll be in touch when I have some concrete ideas. Any feedback you care to share in the meantime would be super awesome.

Your moment will come, friend.
