Oh yeah, and I vote for wirthling.

Mediocrity at its most average.

hmmm....

Wirthling's was cool because he just encapsulated the whole wad of goo into one frame. Habnem, on the other hand, wants to give the French some shit, and NOBODY likes the French....

Hmmm....

I'm going to go with Habnem on this one just because of the effort extended.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

I found them equally funny, so I judged by who I thought followed the rules better. All were even, imo, except I think farmerotic flows better than mayhemousness and that habnem's moral conservative was truer to life than wirthling's. So, I finally went with habnem since any moral conservative using the word cockring would surely pass out in a pool of his own vomit.

WIRTHLING!

Farmerotic clinches it for me... and the fact that he put it all in one panel. Wirthling

I count nine for wirthling and four for habnem.

You know what that means, don't you?

WIRTHLING WINS!!!!

Congratulations, O bodiless one, you have won the right to run the next cup, and wrangle the rules as you see fit.

Thanks everyone for participating and putting up with my shit. I had fun. :)

I seem to recall your mocking me for this very same behaviour earlier.

well, when you win a comic cup, and then get to run the next one, then you can do whatever you want to, now can't you?

btw--congrats, wirthling. i certainly feel good about this cup, having beaten three very capable competitors, and i'm currently girding my loins for cup VI... so don't look. (:

100 pounds of shit in a 25 pound sack.

I wasn't supposed to win. I'm really not prepared to run a comic cup. The moving van is coming Saturday and there is still packing to do. After Saturday, I'm not sure what my internet access situation will be. My new house won't be finished until late November or December, so I'm staying with my folks and their dial-up (*sob*) access in the meanwhile. I will have access at work, though, so I will be able to put some time into the cup. We'll see...

Now, if the last paragraph did not bore you to death and you are still reading, I had an idea about a way to run the next cup that might make things either interesting or sucky. I'll post it here and look for consensus before going ahead with it. Also, let me know if you want to be in the next cup.

Here's the idea: I would act as a host in a Clive Anderson kind of way. I would give a parameter--e.g. "setting," "occupation," "name of a surrealist painter," or something of that sort--and then everyone not participating in the current match (non-cup-participants included) can make suggestions--e.g. "setting: a Parisian brothel," "occupation: lawyer," "surrealist painter: Salvador Dali." 24 hours after posting the parameters, I would select the actual rules from your suggestions or make up my own if yours all suck. The first round would have 2 parameters, the second would have 3, and so on.

What do you think? Fun? Lame? Sexy?

It sucks just enough to work!

I once had the uncanny similarity between the singing voices of Colin Mochrie and the guy out of The Offspring pointed out to me, and now I can't listen to either the same way.

I wish to be involved in the next comic cup so that I may fulfill my destiny in destroying all of you. My skills shall lead me to victory in this so called contest.

I have already figured out the rules for every round of the next comic cup. Opposing my rule is futile.

My might is like an velvet glove cast in iron.

Menthol?

ElTigre's nonsensical post notwithstanding, I, too, would like to get a chance to compete in one of these things.

If that isn't possible, maybe we should have a competition among the newer folks (maybe people who have done less than 100 strips?) but judged by the people who have been here since forever.

Just a thought!

...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'm ready for the next comic cup.

I'm still looking forward to getting out of the first round.

I wish to be wrestled to the ground by twin female Swedish ski instructors, tied to a rowing machine and smothered under their....

oh...

I mean I wish to be in the next cup.

Not me! Bounce me out of the first round, will you? I shall get my revenge by creating a new contest! It will involve only bongo and the graveyard background and every sentence must begin with a vowel! It will be bigger than cheese!

Kudos to DexX for making this cup a thoroughly enjoyable experience. This was the first cup I'd competed in, or even read the thread of, and was very happily surprised by the effort he put into each contest of each round. Good show, quadripedophile!

Same here. I thought he'd've run out of thematic ideas for the final, but nay!
This is my first Cup too, and I'm afraid it's tempted me to enter another.

Yeh , im up for a shot at the next round .

Where do i sign. And Do i have to be Nice to Andy for the entirety of the round?

I'd be interested in entering too.

Having been thoroughly stomped by LadyJ (and finding I rather enjoyed it), I'd also like to be in the next Cup.

This is not my empire.

Trust me, it pales against getting spanked by the Chicka.
