#33 thanks for the modifications. Sorry, just like one other modification to make it perfect. Change colour of the other guy in the background back to black again. That would make it perfect for us!

  #28 strong! Two gossipers in the back change of colour (into Red) would do the trick for us. Thanks!

# 21, nice job and we like the tone of voice, especially like the two guys. More emphasis on the offender might work (with coloyrs) but we are not sue.

  @ Hi there Isaac. Symbolism definetely there. Improvements we would be happy with: 1. emphasis/accent on the offender. Male version or maybe you have an idea about a neutral/universal version (not male/female).....? Thanks!

@Enoeth. Thanks for your entries. It is not exeactly what we are looking for (the contest is about single panel cartoons). We do like the one idea with the sheep.

#8 improvements we like: more emphasis on GOSSIPER. He/she/it must stand out (as the offender). We think it cab be done with minor adjustments (line colour etc.)

#8convincing post! I see 1. strong symbolism. 2. Good less is more appraoch (what we look for!) 3. own distinctive style. Possible improvements
