The eight-letter words: barbecue; students; pancreas; mortuary; possibly; and skeleton.

Note also that it does not contain the word "moh", despite the fact that some traitorous bit of my brain fought really hard to make me put it in there. I am now sure that I can be truly strong when required.

Time to Vote!

You have 24 hours for your puny voice to be heard. Remember, you are voting for the worst strip. Only votes from the participants in this round will be counted.

Who is eight words short of a sentence? Who will be written a prescription for pain? Who has made The Weakest Strip?

...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.

By the way, for those of you who were concerned (thank you!) my wife merely has an ulcer. No gall bladder problems at all!

We're the ulcer twins! Yay!

This sounds like a job for the Ulcer Volunteer Fighters. Hem de hem.

Right, well, I'll go first for a change. The Permster. By the way, KKP, your strip title is a round fast. This is only round 7!

I'm afraid I must concur with Andy and vote for Kevin Keegans Short Shorts

Can I just mention that if we were voting for the best one, Andy's is an absolute classic. It's a pity about the rule requirements, because that third panel should just have been Jesus walking into some other casualty ward and saying "Excuse me..."

Even so, wow, that was funny...

Now, for the actual vote...

Shit, Perm, I hate to do this to you, but I think itm will have to be yours. KKP it is, then.

Since KPP's vote could have an effect on the next round (if we have a tie), I'm going to wait for his vote.

Andy Dougan

But i probably deserve this one for screwing up the punchline.

(points to anyone who can see where i made the mistake)

"Life Sucks, Then you Die. The bit inbetween isnt very funny either"

Oh, wow... I didn't notice the your/you're thing until you pointed it out. Is it just me, or is that the most common typo on SC.com?

Tough luck being voted out, mate. :(

I noticed.

Much like Cassandra of Troy, I am forever cursed with the inability to overlook what others do not care to see or hear.

If we were a team of superheroes, LadyJ's power would be her incredible ability to pick out details. :)

Its definetely the ability to make men cringe at the slightest mention of her name.

"Life Sucks, Then you Die. The bit inbetween isnt very funny either"

Ta, DexX. I thought your non-compliant comic was the best of the lot, myself.

The nice thing about this Cup is that, in a purely statistical sense, the odds are against you being voted out every round. But casting an eye over the opposition in this semi-final round...well, it doesn't fill me with confidence. I think I hear The Doors informing me that all the children are insane.

Still, once more unto the breach...

That should be spelled "definitely".

...and I think that instead of men, you meant "pussified whiny bitches". Not all men cringe, just the pussified whiny bitches do.

Kevin Keegans Perm, you have created the Weakest Strip! Goodbye!

Ladyj says, “RRRAAAAARRR!!” Oh, wait… wrong character. Never mind. The rule for the next round will be posted shortly.

Round 9

I am Permus, of Borg. Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. From this time forward, you will service....us.

Here is the scenario for this round (by KPP, of course): Global Warming has begun to take effect. The world is dying. Cancers are affecting most of the populous as theres no ozone layer left. The few survivors live on the remaining few crops. Some wheat , some grapes , and of course , some potatoes.

The rule is:[list][*]One of the stripcreator regulars has stolen your last potato. You must find him during your strip and take revenge in the most horrible method you can think of. Bonus points for constructive use of the potato in your revenge.[/list]Entries due Friday at midnight ET, or you will be assimilated!

Right. Some men drool. And some extremely talented men cringe and drool simultaneously.

I mean, Round 8...

im with Wirthling (for once).

I had kinda hoped when i said "Constructive use of the potato" , there would be something other than "Potato Puns" in the strip.
