Hi folks. I still can't believe that the painful uterus comic impressed a male judge. Anyway, the rules:

1. Sing the praises of Beef Jerky.
2. One of the characters has to speak with a speech impediment of some kind.
3. Be funny.

Multiple entries are acceptable, but if there are too many not-so-hilarious ones from one person, my overall impression of all of that person's comics will drop.

Judging will be uhhhh, Wednesday night at some point.

Does "speach impediment" include weird slang, like ghetto speak, or "nadsat" slang from A Clockwork Orange? And like I said, it was the most twisted entry of them all... and it helped that it was Gabe's uterus. still chuckling over it

Nope. That's speech affectation. It's arguable that the spoonerisms are affected rather than natural impediments, but the jury's still out.

I'm glad it amused! :)

But it may have much in common with stuttering, for example by way of cause. I'm not Dr. Pedantic, but I believe that theories for the cause of each lead to mental development and brain disorders. I would argue that it counts.

Or did I miss your point... (what are these footprints doing on my head again?)

Stuttering occurs when the speech center of the brain is unable to send the proper signals to the vocal processes (tounge, larynx, vocal cords, hyoid bone), the typical result is the inability to smoothly transition from a beginning consonant to a vowel or complimentary consonant. For example, c-c-car. Because the center for singing is close to the frontal lobe stutterers often have no problems singing whatsoever. Therefore stuttering is a true speech impediment.

Tourette's, however, affects nearly every part of the brain. Many of its victims have not only vocal outbursts but physical ones as well to such a degree that they have to be severely doped up or restrained during bad episodes so as to not harm themselves or others. I suppose that it can impede speech, but that is not always the case and a minor symptom of a much greater problem.

Tourette's isn't just about affected speech but both stem from problems in the brain that can impact speech. I figured that was close enough for this.

Then I also read about an experiment a woman did on a group of orphans in the '50s or '60s where she was hyper-critical of their speech patterns as they learned to speak and thus made every one of them stutter. They recently uncovered the fact that her actions were an intentional experiment and launched a lawsuit. Until that suit came to light she and the man she was working with at the time were seen as heroes in the study of stuttering in psychological circles.

Sure, back when I was a shrink-in-training, I used to work with a kid who had Tourette's, and I'm aware it's not the same as, say, a lithp. But (and this is the important point here) I wanted to use Tourette's Timmy. So you can all get bent.

Actually, it's more like you read my mind. The first incarnation of my strip looked almost exactly like yours before I went back and changed it (I liked DragonXero's blasÃ© facial expression for the purposes of that strip). It must be the "ling" thing.

These were the ones I considered:

descolada99b - the comic was very very funny, but the left-to-right reading of it makes the delivery kind of awkward.

NastyPope - the title of the comic detracted, in my opinion, and so did the misspelling of "weighs", but otherwise this was really funny.

crabby - who was actually clever this time and would have won if he weren't always such a git that his gitness pollutes my ability to judge fairly. I just don't relish the idea of another era of crabby in the contests.

gabe_billings - the comic was awesome, but it didn't exactly sing the praises of beef jerky... it just mentioned it.

Spankling - the beatnik comic. It was very well executed, but not only didn't it sing the praises of beef jerky... it outright decried it.

I'm having a hard time here.

Okay. I've decided. gabe-billings' comic impressed me the most. He wins.

Yay!

are we to assume that the one of their two that wasn't backwards is the winner ie this one?

28223

in which case that would make descolada99b the winner right? or not right?

Yeah, but I just couldn't get the beatnik to sign on to praising meat. We negotiated for hours and when I finally thought I had him won over he gets up and does that crap!
