Very hard decision, but I will go with the fuzzy&kauf men.

I am a delicate fucking flower. https://beacons.ai/jesskent

Thought I'd check the contest during my break, and LO AND BEHOLD! It still runs!

I vote for the men.

(Tough, it was.)

---
This is not my empire.

Well, it seems that I've returned to the land of Internet access too late. Apologies to evil_d for my absence at the crucial time.

Do I still vote? If so, mine goes to Gabe Booring

---
Absorbed directly through the skin.

OK, it's been a week. Shall we move on?

---
What others say about boorite!

I vote for boorite for his dead-on George W. Bush impression.

I think we shall. gayrite_boollings lives to die another day.

Now back to our main event. Just to refresh your memories, here's the story so far:

Tag-Team Cup ]|[: Brando Would Have Turned This Script Down by Scyess 9-10-02

...and so what was the victim telling you before he was found murdered, castrated, and stuck to the women's room ceiling with gum? He was telling me about something he found this morning... Odd... I don't remember leaving a bloody horse head in my bed... and I just bought these Calvin Klein sheets... Sorry to interrupt, but I'm from the Medical Examiner's office. What should I do with the stuck-up castrato? Leave the gum; take the cajones.

TTCC3: Horse, with the oats, in the restroom by evil_d 9-18-02

You might as well confess, Horse. We know you did it. What's your evidence? We found Doritos in the victim's stomach! It's a known fact that you love Doritos! So you're saying I forced him to eat my favorite food before I killed him. He also had Quaker Oats stuffed up his nose. Who doesn't love the smell of oats in the morning?

TTCC3: Nutritious and Delicious by DMSO 9-18-02

Look Horse, we know you were planning to stuff and cook him before eating the corpse. It's a classic cannibalistic homicide. How can it be cannibalism? We're not even the same species. Besides, I'm on a diet. Apart from the occasional salad, I've only been eating Slimfast milkshakes. I thought the whole point of SlimFast was that you can eat whatever you like the rest of the time. Do you have any idea how many calories there are in man-flesh? This figure does not maintain itself.

TTCC3: Bad Touch by BigEvilDan 9-24-02

**BANG!** That sounds like my cue. Now, where's the victim? I can't see a thing with the lights out. I'll have to feel my way around. That's the table... that's somebody's ass... that's my lunch... Aha! Another poor soul is within my grasp! PREPARE TO FEEL THE TOUCH OF DEATH, PUNY MORTAL! **THUD!** Why is Death on the floor with his hands down his pants?

[u]Round Three: You're Fuckin' Nicked, Me Old Beauty![/u]

Match 11: Psi-Nate vs. larun Fire7ly

Your mission: Yablonski has asked the remaining suspects to assemble in one room, where he will announce the identity of the perpetrator. Show their conversation as they await his arrival.

Your suspects: captain, russ, jael, horse, and satan

Your rules: Four rules per match this round; and they're stinkers, I'm afraid. On the bright side, it means that the easier rules will be left for the six-rule final. As ever, let me know if there are any repeats.
1. From DexX: One character in the strip/s must have a very annoying or offensive habit, which is obviously deliberate, but which he or she blames on some medical condition. "You spat in my fucking EAR!" "Sorry...uh...I have senile dementia."
2. From boorite: the dialogue must take the form of a pudding recipe.
3. From Kevin Keegans Perm: One of the MALE characters has been caught sleeping with Michael Jackson.
4. And from fuzzyman: a character must speak in a Scottish dialect (use the Scottie translator at www.whoohoo.co.uk, if you like).

Have fun with those.

How do the rules work again? Both memebers of the team have to put ALL of them in their comic? Or can we get away with spliting them up?

These rules are fucking EVIL!

But seriously, DO we have to cram all 4 rules into each comic?

---
Dad was flammable

I would say that they can be spread out over the course of both comics.

Yes, I'm back.

Not that this means anything.

Which it doesn't.

I'm just saying.

I apologize for my absence. Especially to andy. I will explain later, as well as have the updated bracket posted.

Again, my apologies.

---
If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no luck at all. D'OH!

Good to have you back, Zip. :-)

---
Dad was flammable

Whew.

Oh yeah, good to have you back Zip.

This was supposed to be the TTCC of peace and love and kindness, not evil.

Tag Team Cup ]|[: Intermission -- How to Make Horse Pudding by Scyess 12-19-02

Step 1: Take the leg of one horse. Follow the horse's instructions precicely. Are you deaf? I don't need to explain my art to you. Well, will you at least tell me how to get horse blood out of white spandex? Step 2: Feed pudding to unsuspecting, hippy-looking murder witness. I made this for you! I swear it has nothing to do with my wanting you permanently silenced for witnessing that bloody murder I committed! Wow! You're so nice! Step 3: Witness will die a quick and painless death. Unless he's been sleeping with Michael Jackson, in which case he will just develop a silly accent and be useless on the witness stand. Serves 4. Ah swear! Ah ne'er tooched his wee anaconda! I think I'm going to be sick.

Sorry for the delay- We're still in this, I swear. Will try to have comics up before the weekend is up.

When they invent BookFace, I'm -there-.

BTW, It's missing all the comics where the contestants won by default. Arn't these a part of the story?

I didn't realise it was missing those. I just cut and pasted TBZ's last summary of the story and added the strips which won since then.

It seems you got the gist okay, anyway.

TTCC 3: at least its not haggis... by lara7 12-21-02

Mix cream cheese, sugar and cinnamon until thoroughly blended. Add milk, eggs and vanilla. Combine bread cubes and let stand for 15 minutes. Pour into greased casserole dish. Bread pudding? I love that stuff! Nae, laddie, ye dinnae want Jael's scran. It's fookin' shite, it is. Later.... Thank you for the dessert, but I must say I'm displeased to discover that you greased the casserole dish with the oil from your unwashed hair. But....I'm being treated for obsessive compulsive disorder. This is the only way I can keep from washing my hands 30 times an hour.

TTCC 3: Darling, is this your nose? by KajunFirefly 12-22-02

Yablonski had better hurry the fuck up, I've got better things to be doing, I wish he would just arrest Jael and get it over with. Jael? But she didnae dae it, she was wi' me at the time, we wur shaggin' in the toilet. Ha ha, I don't think so mate, you were obviously a little TOO drunk. Naw, ah remember it well, she wis very limber, great figure, she must work oot... Ach!

A very close call... but it's FireLarafly

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

I am a delicate fucking flower. https://beacons.ai/jesskent

I certianly don't mind that our team seems to be being slaughtered 4 to 0 so far, but I do have a question: what would happen if one team, hypothetically, were to leave out rule #3?

I'm just asking as a concerned citizen, of course.

"Old" is the old new.

I'm too lazy to think of a name for JrnymnNate and Scyess' team.
