100 pounds of shit in a 25 pound sack.

Much as I'd like to somehow abuse my power and award the win to Spankling (whose second comic was also quite amusing), I don't think I can pull it off. Anyway, he won CC48, so hopefully that will keep his mind off the fact that he's now the first person to have a 0-2 record in Comic Cup matches.

I'm going to be Dr. Pedantic and discount Big Evil Dan's vote, since he hadn't asked to be a judge yet. Nothing personal Dan, just trying to instill order in this thing. You're in for next round, though. And as long as there are an even number of judges, I'll abstain unless my vote is needed (like if someone else abstains).

Not that it matters anyway; the round goes to NastyPope whether it's 6-3 or 6-4. Good show, your holiness.

Now travel back in time with me to...

Round 2: descolada99 vs. LadyJ

1. Only one pose of one character or prop may be used. If you choose Maura5-2, it's Maura5-2 all the way. You don't have to use it in all six positions, but you must at least use it in one.

2. You must use at least two of the following words in your strip: bloviate, syzygy, nudibranch, interlard, stereoscopic. Where possible, you may pluralize the word or change its part of speech.

3. The strip or a character must make fun of some popular internet site (e.g. The Onion, stileproject, Suck, memepool, etc.)

Good luck, 48 hours, blah blah blah.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

I may be the first to reach 0-2, but I aint working with those rules. (Shades of skagg, man!)

Hahahaha! Actually, I think you would have won if you had not used a character AND a prop. I'm proud of mine, but yours cracked me up.

Anyhoo:

Hey Desc, don't be such a tease. What will we be reading in October? If there was ever a need for a fourth frame ...

Pausing to consider before voting,

I need a clarification on this rule before I can vote.

Descolada's comic uses one character and one prop, but he only uses one pose of each of those. After reading through the rule a few times, I am not sure that it is clear that Descolada violated the rule.

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

I read it as 1(character or prop). I could be wrong, but even trying to parse it differently feels forced to me. If he'd meant one of each, he'd have said "one each" or "character AND prop"... at least that's my humble opinion.

---

It comes down to whether the "or" is exclusive or not. If not, I like Desco's comic better, so it gets my vote. If the "or" is exclusive, then LadyJ gets my vote.

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

I think you are right, LadyJ. I just wanted to get a confirmation from evil_d that that was what he meant.

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

If I lose, I won't feel badly. Desc's comic was very funny.

Pedantry notwithstanding, I still like mine better, because I am in love with myself.

My pleasureGELF would be me, only thinner... and with perkier boobs and red hair, I think.

Fucknuts. I don't want to win on a technicality.

No George Dubya, I!

I vote for perky boobs and red hair. As for the comic contest, I'll wait for the rules clarification to vote.

I'll wait on the clarification too. And I thought *I* was the one who went for the redheaded women with perkey boobs.

Yeah. Right. You're the *one* who likes that.

Around here, if you're not a blonde, the men (who aren't me) pay you no attention.

Hair color is such a part of the total experience a woman chooses to put forward. I met a librarian once that drove me crazy with her plastic glasses and "hallo of mouse-brown fire," as the Tick would say.

I understand that statements like that or close to it could get me bitch slapped, but I stand by it.

Waiting...

I did mean one pose, period. I didn't think it was ambiguous, but I guess I can see how it could be. But I'm going to be Dr. Pedantic again (as if I ever stopped) and disqualify desc's comic anyway. Which is a shame, because it's funny. But, like last time, he can make a new one, and then we'll collect votes based on that.

Put down that rope, Gabe.

What an unemployed jobless anti-social fuck!

Good luck on that interview! Here's to hoping you will soon be an employed jobbed anti-social fuck.

We'll just sit here on our pipes until you come back with another comic. ;-Þ

Or you could just bow down before the all-seeing and all-powerful LadyJ. That's gotta have an up side.

They just reported good earnings and a 14% increase in common dividends to be paid. Check out their press releases and talk bullshit at 'em. There has GOT to be a comic in that experience somewhere.

gah... you mean now I've got to be funny AGAIN? bah.. okay... I will be funny again later tonight. Probably real late. If that's allowed, that is. :)

This job interview was short. It's for a financial services division of Citigroup. Basically, I'd be a financial services salesman or something. Have to go to a "class" tonight for something or other and that's even before the "real interview" later. How bizarre.. but at least it's a job.... okay.. later tonight I'll make a new entry...

I don't even think that's legal in Nebraska.
