On friday I have to draw Ryan and Shelley in their halloween costumes. What should they dress as? The prize in this no-purchase-necessary competition (as free as the air you breathe) is that, if successful, I will do what you say.
I quite like the idea of Shelley going as a burning match, except that might mean she has to wear blackface which would endow her with personality attributes that she has not previously exhibited.
Also, for Ryan - 'Doc'. Brown from Back to the Future? or maybe Einstein? That hair would look great with talcum powder.
batgirl and robin would obviously be faaaaaar too normal (not to say geeky) but i am not ashamed to say it is what i wish the most. mostly because i want to be both shelley and batgirl.
Carmen Sandiego (Shelley) and all four original members of Rockapella (Ryan) or Donna (Shelley) and the tenth Doctor (Ryan) although it might be much more fun if you flipped that, with Shelley as the Doctor and Ryan in a wedding dress.
I think Ryan should go as an intergalactic hitchhiker - with explanatory signage to point to his next destination ("Now seeking passage to Mars_79 or Sinope"), and perhaps even that well loved Guide in his back pocket, with its friendly message to the world of peace and tranquility. I would love to see Shelley as Queen Cleopatra, classy, sexy, smart, sassy and as powerful as hell - a great role model for all gals everywhere!

A Rubik Cube (Ryan) and a tube of Smarties (Shelley).
Each other?
A tea cup & an Alamo Samurai.

Ooo how cool! Very excited! I think Ryan should dress as a giant tomatoe and Shelly should dress as a sugar mouse (or maybe just a normal mouse)
Ryan should be Comrade Bat and Comrade Bat should be Ryan and Shelley should be... an octopus. A cute, yet sexy octopus.

Well, you could dress Shelly up as the mermaid that her character is loosely (visually) based on! That'd be a nice little nod to the fans!
Ryan should be dressed as Optimus Prime. :D
Commander Riker in his sans-beard days and Dr. Beverly Crusher, of course
Ryan = Captain Beefheart
Shelley = Anne Robinson
I'm gonna go classic and say Ryan would make a great werewolf and Shelly would look sexy as a mummy!
Carmen Sandiego (Shelley) and all four original members of Rockapella (Ryan)
or
Donna (Shelley) and the tenth Doctor (Ryan) although it might be much more fun if you flipped that, with Shelley as the Doctor and Ryan in a wedding dress.
Ryan and Shelley should go at John Allison and Kristen Bell.
Two ideas. Caveman and space cadet. Specifically Fred Flintstone and Jane Jetson.
Or Shelley could be a 'candy striper' and Ryan could be a zombie (what with Shelley's unpleasant medical history).
Agents Mulder and Scully, please!
Pippy Longstocking (Shelley) and Captain Beefheart (Ryan) please!

Shelley needs to be a Ferris Wheel. Ryan would look good as an eggplant.
Shelley should go as Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron and cowriter of the first known computer program.
Ryan should be a biplane.
Ryan: Captain Ahab
Shelley: Jane Eyre (or possibly Thursday Next)
Oh, or, alternatively, Boris and Natasha from the Rocky & Bullwinkle show. If not Dudley Do-Right and whatever the damsel in distress's name is!
(I am done with ideas sorry)
Lisa Loeb and the traditional Harlequin(!)
Shelley as Veronica Mars and Ryan as himself, only smaller.
Competition closes at 1.45PM UK time!
PS They aren't going to dress as each other, I did a variation of that in 2003.
Tim and Sophie each get half of their wish coming true: see the results in next friday's comic!
For the record, October 12th's strip is exceedingly charming.
Ryan: Scott Pilgrim
Shelley: Ramona Flowers
