When habnem started the Toprated.php stumping thread in 2004, he began by recognizing the work of other comic strippers. He posted a bunch of other people's comics for recognition, and invited everyone to increase their vote averages because he thought these comics were funny. He did post a few of his own afterward, but the idea was clear- he was highlighting the funny of others.

Since then, that thread has become a place where people post their own work, with very few exceptions. While there is nothing wrong with tooting one's own horn from time to time, I really want to revive the original purpose, and take it a step farther. I want to see us being classy and supportive and recognizing only the work of people other than ourselves. 

This thread is ONLY for posting the work of people other than yourself, in the hopes of having others rate the comics and improve their vote averages.

To get us started, here are a random few that I think deserve to be moved up the vote ladder:

Coo Coo for You by four_legged_tripod 2-18-10

You have such a beautiful face and your hands are exquisite. You give purpose to my life and keep me on track. She's not interested in you that way. Besides, this relationship is just not natural. Hey! Quit clock blocking me dude!

Specific Hospital by squidrabies 10-20-05

I've got good news and bad news. What's the good news? Melanoma is a funny word. Admit it, it's a funny word. Melanoma.

Tard Boy and Finkelman by squidrabies 9-22-02

So, I woke up this morning and there's dogshit in my hand... Wow, how did you get dogshit in your hand? I always go to sleep with dogshit in my hand. But when I woke up, it was in my OTHER hand. Conspiracy!

And the one that I still can't stop giggling over:

A Breakthrough

How we felt by Skin 2-07-08

Mark, baby, I know this isn't easy, but I feel strange... almost like I can't trust you. I don't... I can't understand... Janie, please don't leave... I thought this might be difficult for you, but maybe you can talk to... Mr. Handpuppy! Oh thank god. Mr. H, you've gotta cover for me, I think my girlfriend knows I screwed her sister.

Encounter in the moonlight by Skin 9-18-06

Oh man, being dead must be awesome. There is no peace in death. No light. Endless, abysmal cold is the only truth waiting for you beyond your warm little years. Did you try putting on a jacket? I tried putting on a jacket.

(Some of these have been rated a bunch of times but I just can't believe they're not rated higher.) 

And I gotta wonder which is funnier; rectal cancer or supercancer:

The diagnosis by Skin 11-05-06

Well doc, what do the test results say? Mr. Johnson, I'm afraid you have a rather serious case of double pneumonia. I... My God... Wait, there's DOUBLE pneumonia? We also find you at high risk of Supercancer.

RCL no. 2156 by RandomComicLayoutGuy 4-05-10

You okay, Wilson? I don't think so... I went to the local clinic for some medicine to cure my agonizing jock itch, and the nurse there mistakenly removed my testicles! Welcome to "Obama Care"... Weird... It's like I can still feel my balls. That sucks, dude. What really sucks is they still itch!

The Right Thing to Do by ekramona 8-16-07

Is there really no love out there for your fellow strippers? Doesn't anyone have a moment to post a strip or two that someone else wrote that made you laugh?

I approve of this thread wholeheartedly.

Pete's Skeptic Service by Zaster 9-22-04

Yes? I'm here from Pete's Skeptic Service. I called for Pete's SEPTIC Service. Our tank needs draining. Oh, I rather doubt that. In fact, I find the idea ludicrous. That'll be 50 dollars, please.

"How we felt" was on toprated.php for a while -- and deservedly so.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

The Bill of Rights by muffindance 4-18-09

AS A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SEVERAL THINGS TO THE CONSTITUTION MAINLY, I BELIEVE THAT EVERY MAN SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WITH A BIG FAT DICK IN HIS MOUTH I ALSO BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO LEAVE WORK RIGHT NOW TO CLEAN THE SEMEN STAINS OUT OF MY PANTS

Domestic Battles by ObiJo 6-09-01

I'm leaving you, Edward. You were away at war so long, I've fallen in love with another. I'd like to introduce you to him. My life couldn't get any worse. I stand corrected. It's the horse. And again.

5:15 by Scyess 2-21-02

*pant pant pant* I finally found you! Okay, here's the deal. The place has three security sub-systems and 20 armed guards. I'm going to go in the north way -- they'll expect that attack least. But you have to get those security systems disabled by 1900 hours or else I'll be spending the rest of my life as the quadrapalegic love-bitch for some inmate named Spike. Okay! Let's move out!!! In about two hours whoever that was is really going to wish I knew what the hell he was talking about.

Tard Boy and Finkelman by squidrabies 2-13-03

Hello. Can't talk right now. I'm attempting to destroy the universe by disbelieving everything. Any luck?

I decided to go through some of wirthling's strips, since crabby revived an old contest that was about him.

CC 57: You've got cancer! by wirthling 8-27-01

Welcome! ??? You've got mail! What the hell?! I don't remember signing up for AOL! You don't have AOL. You have a malignant brain tumor that is causing you to hallucinate that your PC is talking to you. Whew! That would have sucked if I had AOL!

Vaudeville for Grammar Dorks by wirthling 10-03-01

This is a demonstrative pronoun. What is a demonstrative pronoun? No, what is an interrogative pronoun. I don't know. You tell me. What is it? It is a personal pronoun. Where's my hammer?

This one is so true:

I just bought me a new scat video! I sure do love scat. Let's see what it's like. "Scat biddaddle doo wop da boodle da biddle. Scooby do wooby da di da doob" *fap fap fap fap*

This one is one of my all time favorites.  I think about it every time Scatman John comes up on my iPod Shuffle.

The scat one is awesome!

This one just came up on the front page randomly, and it made me chuckle.
