Take it to another thread, or to e-mail. This isn't the place for continued bickering.

The NastyPope is apparently not entirely nasty.

That's fine by me. I didn't take his comments to be a general indictment of the barbs we toss at each other. It's just his personal code of ethics. I grew up in an environment where people zing each other so it is just second nature to me, but I do try to back off when I sense that the joke is not being appreciated as a joke.

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

I'm not bickering, I'm making a point.

It's not for private discussion. His little soapbox stance on being too good to come down to our level and insult people was public, so what comes of it should be as well.

I'm not offended, I'm amused at the ridiculousness.

I'm also done. I'll be afk for tonight and tomorrow morning, so you can all have the last word(s).

It's not a matter of anybody being offended, it's a matter of this particular thread not being the place for it anymore now that the next round has started. If you want to keep it public, fine. But I'd appreciate it if it's not in this thread where it further detracts from the proceedings, which I'm trying to keep running as smoothly possible.

So.....

Did I win?

Cripes. I'm busy for one day and I come back and it sounds like the sky has fallen in. We haven't had this much fun since the religion thread way back when.

Round 6 kaufman vs evil_d

This one also requires the entrants make two full strips apiece. For the first one...

1)Use Neil from "When I Grow Up" twice.
2)The setting is a "tentacle porn anime." No need to get explicit or down and dirty unless you want to. We just have to know that this is set in a tentacle porn anime somehow.
3)Use references to "back to school" sales in two of the three panels.

The second one

1)The last frame of your opponent's first strip is to be the first frame of your own second strip.
2)The setting is a panty raid, like the kinds on those 70s and 80s sitcoms.
3)Someone in the strip must be a devout catholic.

The winner will be the one who puts on the overall best showing between the two contestants. Voting will end 24 hours after the final comic is submitted.

You raise a very interesting point, and one I hadn't considered. You know, it's equally plausable for evil_d to use *either* the entire 3rd panel, or the half panel splitter, and since there's no *clear* distinction in the rule, I'm just going to leave it to his own discression. And to yours if he uses a splitter in his first comic.

That being said... evil_d, make sure you post your opener *before* posting your response.

It is very insulting to say that I have not "tried" to give skagg and crabby a chance. It is very disrespectful, too. I am deeply offended. I did not expect such a thing to be said here.

Sound silly to you, too?

can i get a second chance?

ps i dont want to see rules changed it makes it so rubbery. i especially dont want to see the final rules changed cuz that would piss me off, you either stick it or go and lose

Who knows what fear lurks in the hearts of men? MIKE BOBSICO KNOWS! And if you give him a decent tip when he delivers your mail , he might tell you.

Okay, I have a moment, so time to weigh in on the NastyPope issue.

Nasty: As I see it, this is first and foremost a community of funny people, creative people, and those of us who fancy themselves as such. That said, my opinion of most of you is based mainly on the comics you draw, and not on the personal insults/jokes, etc. that might be within. I have no problem sticking in or reading a little jab regarding one of our brethren. In fact, the more absurd, the better, for it is far less likely to be mistaken for reality.

That said, though I may not have reacted as you did, I respect your feelings and decision, and see that it did bring up some insightful discussion. I do hope you will feel comfortable enough to rejoin future Cups.
You write some good stuff.

Anyway, I too found the bit about safewords a good analogy. Which brings us to:

LadyJ: Your point about what a bummer to have an immediate safeword right from the start does have some degree of credibility, but consider this scenario: Unbeknownst to you, your new bottom has a horrible phobia of needles. At the very start of your first scene together, you pull out a large needle and ... Wildly Panicked Safeword.

Maybe your new partner's a wet blanket. Or maybe you just happened upon the one forbidden location. Maybe your bottom will be ready to eagerly and incredibly explore all sorts of places, as long as you don't go THERE. And who knows, maybe you get there someday.

But you don't have enough information to know which case is actually taking place. The two of you need some good, honest communication to sort out what's happening. Or you can summarily drop this partner just like that. The choice is yours.

How 'bout a good old-fashioned catfight instead?

So much for keeping it off the thread. Oh well, it *seems* to be dying down somewhat...

I've been asked to take this off the thread. I had thought I was done with this discussion, but skagg asked for a second chance, and I've chosen not to ignore the request. I am starting a new thread now called second chance.

I concur. Hopefully this is something you can work with:

I really need to stop posting comics of this, um, caliber from work.

I hope it's okay that only the first panel is really set in the anime. Since kaufman got away with something similar, I figured it would be. I tried to think of ways to write a tentacle porn involving Neil, but didn't come up with anything I liked. But if anyone protests, I can give it a shot.

No real ideas yet for my second strip. Hopefully I'll have something by tonight.

This is how I continued evil_d's saga (sort of -- it almost wrote itself):

Time for me to weigh in with my opinion:

I think Wirthling DOES fuck donkeys.

And my safeword is "megapootie."

What others say about boorite!

[Click to view comic: 'Late Night TV (part 2)']

I'm hoping I can get away with the "sanctuary" quote classifying Maura as a devout Catholic. If not... I don't know. I seem to be having trouble following the rules this time around.

This was actually more difficult for me than it should have been since I don't know very much about either Welcome Back, Kotter or The Hunchback of Notre Dame. So I played up the college/frat angle.

---

This is a tough one. I thought evil_d had a better first comic, but dr. kaufman had a better second comic. Hmmm...

I suppose I'm going to have to vote for dr. kaufman for use of the word "nunderwear."
