Also I vote for Jes because his made less sense and succesfully gave me a headache on the first reading.

Lord_Vodek

I had a tremendous headache this morning when I wrote that strip.  Uh-oh... Scanners...

Voting isn't over yet folks, please show your appreciations before either Lord_Vodek or myself's head pops like a fermenting melon :)

Please replace the handset, and try again.

I'll be the one to vote for Lord_Vodek.  Though both of them did better than I could've with those rules.

Well, with 9 votes already cast, Jes win by a majority. Congrats to Jes and Lord_Vodek, I hope you continue to stick with this thread and vote even though you were knocked out first. Good showing to you both.

 For the next match we have, brycekain  vs attitudechicka:

The rules for this contest will come from the another comic contest I ever won,  CC187. The rules for this contests are were originally written by fuzzyman and are as follows:

fuzzyman

Good luck to you both, if nothing is posted by wednesday night the first two strippers to post a comic that follows these rules will take the place of the users who do not participate.

 Good luck to you both and may the best stripper win!

For inspiration, here is my winning entry from that particular contest.

Mediocrity at its most average.

I forgot about Fuzzymans extra points for kidney stone rules since he was having kidney stones at the time. I feel like you both focused too much on fuzzy's extra rules instead of just the overall spirit of making a comic which redoes shakespearre. I think my comic is a beautiful example of the rules. I hope there isw no hard feelings with the loser of this match up.

Hysterical. Both of them. Tough call...Hmmm...Ummm...After flipping a coin to see what I'd have for breakfast I decided purple eggs and ham...and BryceKain Sorry Chika loved your comic but Bryce's ending was terrific

I tried to adhere to the rules that fuzzy determined as best as I thought 14 other people would interpret them. In a CC, you only have to impress one person, in a cup, you have to get into the mind of several people and, once you've accomplished that task, then you have to actually stimulate their humor region. I don't have access to a shrinking submarine with hand attatchments.

Mediocrity at its most average.

Additionally, the old rule "If you have to explain your joke, it's probably not that funny" translated into "If you have to make excuses for your comic, it's probably pretty shitty" is absolutely true in this situation.

---
Mediocrity at its most average.

I'll have to go with brycekain, despite his glaring mistake that kidney stones would of course be cut out, not off.

---
100 pounds of shit in a 25 pound sack.

My vote goes to brycekain as well. Sorry Chicka. A part of me yearned to vote oldschool stripper, but I have to vote where the funny is.

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

"Fuck it! Cut 'em off!" is a tremendous punchline given the set-up with the "thee'" and "thou's" and "thineths"  Outright hard to disagree with voting for that.Like, really hard. 

However chicka's Merchant Of Venice reference doth steal my vote.  Subtle,  well set up it was, that goodly joke. 

---
Please replace the handset, and try again.

I wanted to vote for Bryce's but since she has a good joke and I've got a soft spot for eloquent deprecations I'll give my vote to chicka

I'm tempted to vote for Chika's comic since I know there's a damn good joke in there somewhere...but I just can't find it so I'm going to have to vote for brycekain.

I vote for brycekain. 

I am not a sheep, I am not a sheep!!! I AM NOT A SHEEP!!!!

All those Shakespeare plays I own aren't just for impressing women and keeping ring shaped water stains off my coffee table. Going with chicka for this one.

the kid's getting old, the kid's getting old

chicka

I would love to give a reason, to uphold the tradition of doing so, but the only one that comes to mind is in bryce's, the "kindey" stones in the first speech bubble distracted me. To no end. But that's a horrible reason, so that won't be the one that made me vote the other way.

---
Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist.

I give the nod to Chicka.

5-5 so far. VEEEEEEERY CLOSE RACE!!!!!

Just a heads up, in the case of a tie vote, I will be the tie breaker.

I vote for brycekain, too, for his abuse of Shakespearean English in the 2nd panel which I spent a good 75 seconds trying to understand before I went on to the third panel.
