Wow, there were a lot of good comics submitted. So many so that before I get to the honorable mentions and the winner, I feel that some people deserve “So You’re Not Going To Win But You Still Get A Crappy Award Anyway†award for all the five minutes they put in. Yes.
The Most Obscure Book To Make A Comic Out Of Award goes to kaufman for “Kernighan & Plauger: The Elements of Programming Style.†Like you didn’t see that coming.
For Most Disappointing, the award goes to namgubed for “Follow the Bouncing Sandwichesâ€. You let my hopes up and then crushed them down. Like a sandwich that was sat on.
*handing out the vodka* dear alienpantsyndrome, congratulations on winning the It Would Have Been Better Had It Actually Been Frank From Donnie Darko Award for “cc 177: Frank the Gay Bunny in "Naked Lunch".†May it take you to new heights. Like to a Blockbusters.
Pun-delicious title award goes to kaufman for “Beckett To Me!â€
Best attempt at trying to work Megigo in because they fear my wrath award goes to Aero God for their Fahrenheit 451 comics. I probably won’t come visit you at 2 AM.
It would be only more hypocritical to let a non-compatible comic win, although there were good ones. Which is why I am giving the Non-Compatible But Funny As Hell Award to evil_d for “Walden in three hundred thousand panels.â€
And last, I am giving a very special award to one person. ObiJo, you should feel lucky that you are receiving the first ever ObiJo What Were You On And I Do Want A Complete List Award for “Beopoop†and “Books I've read the last couple of months (Mengigo).â€
Ok, that aside, let’s get on to the honorable mentions:
“Tom Clancyâ€-Aero God
“CC 177: Please don't throw bombs at meâ€-Zegota (zing!)
“CC177: Don't think about your books when you're tired.â€-naz_ghul
“Uncle Tom's Cabin O' Loveâ€-Aero God
“CC 177: Elizabethan Dietingâ€-naz_ghul
“CC 178: More Scarlet Lettersâ€-kaufman
“The Bibleâ€-ObiJo
And then the ones I truly liked:
Huck Finn on the Lame-spankling
The Crying of Lot 49 in 3 panels.-UnknownEric(your strip said it all)
The Princess Bride-kaufman
And now the ones I not only liked but thought should win:

Jack and Jill went up the hill. The hill was in New England in a creepy little town. Jack was new in town and Jill was down on her luck. He had found an old letter in a book his grandfather had owned.

| *New England accent* Hey thea. My name is Jack Mengigo, I'ma tryin' to get to tha top of that theair hill. | |

|
|
|
To fetch a pale of water. New England water. The water rippled with each step they took, waves collapsed in on themselves. The old bucket squeeked as it rocked forward and backward in her sweaty palm.
|
|
|
 | |  |
| This letta from my grandfatha says we'are almost theair. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yah, that would seem to be tha case. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
Jack fell down and broke his back. the pain was unbearable. Sweat rolled down his head and into his eye sockets as his breathing gradually slowed and stopped. Her image faded as his pupil shrank.
|
|
|
 |
 | |  |

 | |  |

This was really hard because I thought all three of these were exceptional. However, one had to be picked to be the winner. And to the person who didn't win, although I found your strip(s) incredibly funny, I must say that
