Welcome to Comic Cup XV, a tournament where mortal strippers can rise up to become legends. Fifteen brave souls enter but only one can take home the trophy(*).

*Note: Winner must provide own trophy.

How does it work?

The Comic Cup is a knockout tournament. Each entrant will be drawn against someone else. You will be given a rule taken at random from a previous comic competition. Each of you will enter a single comic. Once both entries are in, all the other cup entrants will vote on which is best. The person with the most votes wins and proceeds to the next round.

What's the deadline for entering a comic?

Once your round is up, and the rule announced, you have FIVE days to post your comic. Anyone missing the deadline gets disqualified. 

How do I vote?

Just post in the thread saying who you thought was best. You can still vote after you've been eliminated. You can't vote on your own matchup.

The Bracket

The draw has been made by pulling actual names from an actual hat:

1. Kevin_Keegans_Perm vs brycekain

2. Neo11 vs evil_d

3. HCRoyall vs crabby

4. Matchbook_Romance vs Porternotes

5. four_legged_tripod vs ArtemisStrong

6. edoggydogg vs kramer_vs_kramer

7. TheGovernor vs UnknownEric vs ragu4u (the top two will go through in this one)

Round 1

Kevin_Keegans_Perm vs brycekain

The random number generator has come up with 416, so let's look at the rules for CC416:

CC416: Frost / Butts (2nd April 2009, hosted by lima, won by TheGovernor)

1: Your comic must be in the form of an interview or debate between two characters, preferably with one trying to get information from the other, although disregard that if you've a funnier idea. 

2: There must be a slash (a '/' sign, not a guitarist) in the title, for example 'Frost/Butts', 'Rape/Tobor', 'Tardboy/Finkleman' etc.

Go!

Kevin_Keegans_Perm vs brycekain

KKP was funny.

Brycekain was timely.  

Both very well done.

My vote is for KKP.

My vote, if I even get one,  goes to BRYCEKAIN!

it was pretty even until "buttplug", which is ALWAYS funny.

I vote for brycekain

RCLG - I'm assuming you were meant to be logged in as your other account for this?

I vote for the Perm.

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

I'm glad kvk is keeping track of who can and can't judge.  The list is like five posts up and I still can't be bothered to check it.

My vote goes to Kevin_Keegans_Perm.

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

Perm currently leads 4 votes to 2, with seven votes still to come in - still everything to play for so keep those votes coming in!

In the meantime:

ROUND 2

Neo11 vs evil_d

The random number generator has come up with 211, so let's jump into our time machine and look at the rules...

CC211: Fun with Monkeys (17th September 2003 - Hosted by TheGovernor, won by attitudechicka)

You can only use animals in your comics.

Other than that do what you like. Props are allowed but your strip must contain one of the animals somewhere.

Impressive, tho, how Brycekain can identify a deuce by taste alone.

Apparently, his tastes are only in his butt.

My vote for round 1 goes to brycekain, I'm also a fan of a well timed joke. As for round 2, I will try to be quick on getting one together.

That round was tough to choose.  They were both funny.

My vote goes to evil_d and the talking monkeys.

Is Neo11 like Finger Eleven, but with wicked back skillz and less crappy music?

Oh and my vote is for Neo11
