Andy, I'm counting a vote for LadyJ from you. Am I right in doing that?

I gotta go with wirthling on this one -- what a great punchline!

This is not my empire.

Who knows what fear lurks in the hearts of men? MIKE BOBSICO KNOWS! And if you give him a decent tip when he delivers your mail , he might tell you.

Did I mention my DDD knockers?

*sigh*

I really thought I was going to win yesterday. I didn't expect wirthling to come from behind, like Tobor.

I am a delicate fucking flower. https://beacons.ai/jesskent

Yeah. Sorry for not making it clear.
Looks like I may as well have voted for Nader, though...or the Lib Dems.

Sorry LadyJ, but despite the lack of a clear majority, at close of voting, wirthling has achieved victory, 6 to 2. If you would kindly shoot a rule over, I would be grateful.

...and that's the end of round two!

The start of the semi-finals will be coming up in acoupld of minutes.

How many minutes?

Get it right!

Doctor, with your recent track record, I wouldn't go picking on people's typography, even when it is as appalling as mine.

There you go harping on that "egoes" thing again. Give it a rest. I was on sooooo much angel dust that night, it's a wonder I managed to pull the keyboard out of my rectum long enough to even post at all.

I'm sick of all you brats picking on me. If I weren't a squirrel, I would kick every single one of your asses.

You're still a bit stoned, I think - no less than three contractions in there. Not like you at all.

There's nothing wrong with using contractions. He's Dr. Pedantic, not Data.

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

Contractions are an accepted part of informal speech, of which this forum should certainly be a bastion. I stand by my use thereof.

I am stoned, however.

---
Get it right!

Dr. Pedantic by a hare.

I ate a hooker half a bottle of knife.

However, informal speech conventions should not be reflected in formal writing.

DrP is nothing if not formal. :)

I am assuming that was irony. :)

How the hell should I know? I just wrote it.

StripCreator.com Comic Cup Five - Semifinals

The competitors...

Bunnerabb vs Habnem (rules from Gabe, Kaufman and Big Evil Dan)

Chicka vs Wirthling (rules from LadyJ, Drexle and Andy Dougan)

Strip City was a city in the grip of terror. The evil maniacal scientist, Doctor Bunny, with his terrifying powers of self-replication and near-infinite liquor consumption ability, was holding the entire population hostage! But then... a hero arose... a new breed of hero... Bah Man!!! He wielded the mysterious Amulet of Noobee, and... well, he was pretty cool...

The ancient code of superhero combat governed their actions...

One, the rule of the Archangel Gabriel:
- Somebody must be shot by a firearm during the course of the strip.

Two, the rule of the Amazing Kauf Man:
- The explodingdog trashcan man must be used exactly twice, in whichever panels and facing you like.

Three, the rule of the Drunken Scotsman:
- The text of your strip must include a palindrome of at least five letters.

Four, the rule from below-decks:
- None of the backgrounds can include the colour blue.

Timing, voting, as always.

Big Evil Dan, I need a semi-final rule from you [u]now[/u]. Please.

Not much of a spoiler - it's a throwaway reference in the first few pages.

DexX bites his tongue and tries very hard not to speak ill of the dead.

Ooops... that was how I had them originally. I swapped them over necause I didn't have a Dan rule. I thought I changed them up above, too, but obviously I forgot. Muchly apologisings.

Shit! I looked at those rules and didn't think it could be done! (In fact, I live in fear of the rules for my comic) Great job habnem. :)
