What's the worst of running a comic contest? Picking a winner. There's usually a bunch of deserving entries, making it difficult to choose a favourite. This time, I'm trying a contest that will hopefully make things easier on me. (But not on anyone else. Where's the fun in that?) Here are the rules:

1. Choose a category. All the characters in your comic must come from that category. The only exception is the height props, which can be used in any comic. "none" and "props" are perfectly valid choices for a category.
   
2. You may submit a maximum of five entries. Series are welcome, but each comic in the series counts as an individual entry.
   
3. When it's time to judge, I will pick five finalists. The winner of the contest will be the finalist who's category was used the least overall. Any ties will be broken by the funnier comic.
   
4. Judging will take place on Friday evening.
   
5. Bonus points will be awarded for doing a comic about cheese, but the bonus points will not affect the contest results in any way. I just think cheese is funny.

Fact: Abe Vigoda and Martin Scorsese have NEVER worked together. A shame, isn't it?

Please cast aside your political correctness for about five comics' worth of time, and perhaps these will make you laugh as much as they made me.

Okay, it's time for judging. My list of five finalists are:

dcomposed for: (none: 2 uses)
215101

dcomposed for: (goats: 1 use)
215109

UnknownEric for: (kofightclub: 1 use)
215240

codehappykid for: (submitted: 1 use)
215324

kaufman for: (forumusers: 1 use)
215400

Well, the four-way tie means my grand experiment in laziness has failed. (At least I made up for it by judging a day late.) I'm forced to actually pick a winner, and that person is codehappykid. Best of luck running CC 236, kid.

I was half a comic of being half the finalists!

I thought disliking NIN made my comics funnier.

Ive only just wandered back after a 2 week holiday , and Mikey , shit on me if that NIN comic isnt the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen.

You truly are a Magnificent Bastard!
