Ok, let's clear a few things up.

[list=1][*] Rules should be submitted by non-participating identities (i.e., your regular nicks). This way, I won't know which entrants are associated with which rules.

[*] Rules can be posted or emailed. However, I'll compile my list of eligible voters from emailed rules only. So, my_fawn_has_diarrhea: I'll probably use your rules, but have your real human send me a couple more by email.

[*] Klitty_Kat is not eligible to participate in this event, since (s)he posted a comic before today. Rules is rules![/list=1]
Meanwhile SalmanRushdie makes us 22 and counting.

Well, you have my rules. Four from each category shoud be sufficient.

Ah, overkill. :)

Time's up, pencils down! This event will have 22 contestants. They are:

allclad..........................................megaton_b_boy2000
AntimatterSwirl............................Mister_E
big_evil_deceiver..........................Mr_Jass
booger_flick.................................MyBreastsAreScottish
cheryl_bork..................................my_fawn_has_diarrhea
Duckfoot......................................Mystery_Ninja
Fawn_wears_buttplugs.................Norman_No_Mates
Frosty..........................................pikachu
Kajun_vs_Dougans_Per.................SalmanRushdie
Lil_angel_o_death........................StrangeBrew
Master_Bates...............................Wirthling_Sucks

The names are two-to-a-line for a reason; bear with me.

Round 1 will consist of 10 head-to-head matches, with two of you getting byes to the second round.

Round 2 will consist of 6 head-to-head matches, narrowing the field to 6.

Round 3 will consist of 3 head-to-head matches

The final will be a 3-way battle royal!

Now, how to determine who has a free pass to round 2? Not a problem. The first of the above 22 aliases to figure out the correct answer to this little puzzle and post it to this thread will win a bye, along with the contestant they share a line with in the listing above. So, for example, if Wirthling_Sucks answers correctly, Master_Bates will also advance.

Here's your riddle:

Before and After by kaufman 12-13-01

HEY TOOTHGNIP! WE HAD TO TRAVEL A LONG WAY, BUT WE'RE FINALLY ALONE!!! That's right, Tobor, and to think that we're now about a quarter of the way from the Equator to the South Pole. Ok, folks. Take a good look at those two lovebirds. Can anyone tell me where they are?

One more thing: Keep those rules coming! Otherwise, DexX alone will be judging contests, and that may give his alias an unfair advantage (at least until mine plays the "priapism" card :-) )

They are in the 1st panel.

---
Wee all hae yer maw last night.

Dexx's Bedroom.

---
Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

Or is it the Tropic of Capricornholing?

---
Wee all hae yer maw last night.

Tropic of Tobor?

---
Boogie Woogie Woogie!!

oooo nice one.
Now I don't know what to say... hmm.

They are:
A)In the first panel
B) Somewhere along the Tropic of Capricorn...
Posibly Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, Nambia, Botswana, South Africa, Mozambique, or Australia.

Of these two answers, I think A is better.
