Strip Search Elimination #6 Home Game

I've been watching Penny Arcade's Strip Search, a reality show featuring web comic artists. They have various challenges, and then at the end of each day, two artists go up for elimination. For each elimination, they each draw a word out of a basket, then they have 90 minutes to make a comic the combines both words.

People have started playing a "home game" where they pause the video as soon as the two words are revealed then attempt the same thing the contestants have to do. I gave it a shot with Elimination #6, where the words were:

MYSTERY
NAUGHTY

Just drew the first thing that popped into my head. I finished in 82 minutes. Only had pencil, ball-point pen, and white-board markers handy..

(In the last panel, the kid is supposed to be looking at a dirty magazine. I didn't draw it very clearly. :\ )

If you don't mind spoilers, here's the episode in question:

and here are the final comics by the actual contestants, using the same words:
