Man this was a hard decision. andydougan was right -- the sort of "silent movie" effect in the template doesn't really need anything else. I think if I could, I would vote for wirthling.

But I can't! It was tough.

I the "Father McFeely" thing was almost good, but didn't quite ring a bell for me. I thought the "do unto others" bit was great, though the execution perhaps a bit muddled. Over all, not a bad comic.

The limrick sort of turned me off to pita at first, and I didn't get the "Jewish priest" bit. But the "feel like a kid again" part was pure gold. As well as the small hands.

After much debate -- most of which I've made you read even though you don't care -- I have to go with

fuzzyman gets it on the technicality that "Jewish priest" spoiled the rest of the strip for me.

*ponder*

Hard choice...

I think pita's limerick gets it for me, as does the final line.

("Cath-o-lic" would have scanned better, come to think of it...)

It's currently 9 - 7 in favor of fuzzyman. Pita can still get a tie if she can get the last two votes. (Unfortunately, one of the voters is fuck, sho hasn't been seen for quite a while.) The polls close today at 5:13pm SC time...

Thank you, Obi!
The best man won I guess... : (
I wanted the priest to be Jewish because there were a few inside jokes there, one being that instead of asking the kid if he wants some candy, he asks if he wants to buy some.
The other was when he gets out, he's going to "feel like (having) a kid again" (that one was more obvious).

Sorry for the delay. The one proxy server at work that doesn't restrict access to SC has gone tits up. Then after work last night I went out and got toasted. I didn't have enough time this morning to deal with the Cup, either.

Anyway...

By a one-vote margin, Fuzzyman advances.

The Bracket (I'm going to start just providing a link to the bracket image to save page load times.)

Sweet 16, Match # 2

Big Evil Dan vs. ObiJo

Here's the template:

[Click to view comic: 'CCIX #6']

Players, please have your comics submitted by Tuesday 6/25 midnight stripcreator time...

(ObiJo, let me know if you need an extension due to your Vegas trip. By the way, I'll be out of town next Thursday through Sunday and I'm not sure what my Internet access situation will be, so the Comic Cup may be on hold for a few days then.)

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

*whew*

I thought for sure I'd lose that round. I wanted to do something really unexpected that told a different story than the "child-molesting priest" joke that the panels imply. But damned if I could think of anything.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I have some money to lose. See everyone in a week.
