Wow again.
Before I pass judgement and declare the host of Milestone Comic Contest 300â„¢, I would like to express my thanks for the response to Pre-Milestone Comic Contest 300 Contest 299â„¢. And 99.9% of them were humorous enough to get me to smile! (I'm not enthralled with the "1337"...) Some notes, then.
I loved how some of the strips actually went up against specific opponents -- HCRoyall vs finn34, and flipynif1 with the dual-personality of random comic layout guy and edoggydog.... and the unforgettable DexX vs himself.
No quarter was given. (Cheap bastards.) No butt was kissed. (Thanks for that. I really would have hated to disqualify anyone. And I really don't have the energy to stalk anyone. And as sexy as I think Spankling is, I don't want to marry anyone here.) No topic was taboo. No pun was too corny. (Think of the Jon character in his joy/pain pose here.)
Unfortunately, the Red Cross didn't want kaufman's bonus points -- they wanted cash or some other such nonsense -- so I distributed the points equally among the other comics using a very complex mathematical algorithm. So everyone got extra fractions of points for each comic. Either that, or we're at war with Spain. I can never read those output files.
And now... drumroll please... The results you've all been waiting for (or skipping over the other preamble to get to)...
Out of 115 entries, only one can be the winner. Using a complex series of numeric-style calculations, allowing for wind chill factor, heat index, barometric pressure, and all-around abuse of the word Groovy (which I clamed for myself about two year ago), I finally came to the conclusion that math hurts my head. So I decided to judge based on what made me laugh the hardest.
Except in the case of my bias toward kaufman, where I thought about dead kittens as I read his strips. Unfortunately, that made them funnier.

DexX - for his hard-hitting journalism (#314407) - Also for his DexX vs DexX series.

| Due to the rulles of CC 299, this will be my last broadcast to you, my fellow Stripcreators. | |

| I trust that the decision for the host of CC 300 will be made fairly and without bias, and I leave you with one final statement: | |

In Second Place...

| How goes it in your duchy? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Not well. The forests are in unrest. Every oak and birch trembles in fear that Attila's armies will rampage through and destroy the forest. How are things in yours? | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| It is horrible. Our towns are plagued with tubercular street performers, who have caused the populace to refuse to leave their houses. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Sorry to hear that. But prithee, I still think we've got it worse. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| And I don't see it that way ... Tell you what, why don't we trade maladies? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| The deal is sealed. Let the news of the trade ring forth throughout the Empire: COUGH MIMES FOR TREE HUN DREAD! | |

| hey, mandingo. how are things going with those two Chinese delegates you're wooing to finance your campaign? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| well, Interrogative African, it's been a chore, let me tell you. the first thing Phun and Chung wanted when they got off the plane were hookers. and they both had very specific desires. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Phun just wanted straight half-and-half: half the girls to blow him, half to screw him. but Chung was a stranger cat. he wanted all the girls to wear strapons and take him from behind. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| it's okay though - i hired 20 hookers and gave them very specific instructions on what to do. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 | |  |
| everybody half Phun tonight, everybody wang Chung tonight | |
 | |  |
|

(I told you I liked puns.)
Thanks again to RedfeatheR for making this contest possible. And thanks to all who entered. This was a lot of fun to read.
Take it away, mandingo!!
