Okay, you eager little beavers. This is the last match, last round, to determine the winner of the Comic Cup. This will be a three-way match between the surviving contenders, which are:

• graykane
  
• BigEvilDan
  
• kaufman

William Spankspeare Match
BigEvilDan vs graykane vs kaufman

• Three-way cup match, one winner.
  
• Your job is to create a series of comics, up to ten at the MOST, in a Shakespearian manner.
  
• Antiquated, Olde English-type language is preferred, but subject matter can be ANYTHING.
  
• Series MUST have a tragic (but funny) ending.
  
• EVERY comic must be funny. Please do not use the fact that you can make ten comics to make several comics that are set-ups for the punchline of another. Each comic must stand on its own as a funny comic.
  
• The catch is that EVERY character you use must be Spankling. The only deviation I'll allow is the use of something from the props character group, but Spankling must be in EVERY panel. He plays every role, male and/or female. Since he's been in every round so far I only see it fitting that he be the main character(s).
  
• I will allow photoshopped comics. It is not necessary, and if anyone has a problem hosting their comics I can have them hosted for you. It is not required or necessarily desirable to use altered comics, but given the fact that there's no Spankling character with a wig and make-up on (which really comes as a suprise to me) I'll allow photoshopping.
  
• People will vote on the best set of comics, and this will be the match that decides the best of the best.
  
• You guys have until Wednesday the 23rd of February to complete this task, but I can extend it if any of you are having issues..

This shit better be funny, poignant, and ugly or all three of you will go down as the worst strippers in the history of the Comic Cup....matches....that I've presided over.

GET TO IT!

Does anyone know why it did that? It did it in the preview too, but I figured the preview might not hold more than a certain size. I'll post the rest below.

Bravo. You've all put in EXCELLENT entries. That was awesome. Give yourselves a pat on the back. Now, everyone must vote.

TOOT TOOT! GRAYKANE

BigEvilDan had the lowest percentage of non-Spankling characters, with zero.

damn, I had forgotten this thing was running.

um....kaufman

All good, but I go Kaufman.

kaufman

I'm voting in the final round, because I can.

BigEvilDan

dan

King Kaufman

When I read the brief I was pissed off 'cos it's nearly midnight and 30 comics flavoured with Shake is not my cup of tea.
But what do you know, they were brilliant.
For consistancy, effort and genius I really should be voting for Kaufers, but Graykane made me laugh the most even though I didn't like all of them. As a standalone I liked BigEvilDan's act iv best.

All right, for people who obviously have no idea what the Comic Cup is, unless you have been in this contest, you cannot vote in it.

That includes you, BigFrank. No voting. It also fucks me up when I go to do the tally and I have to consciously stop myself from counting your vote. Now, I need the rest of the people who were in this competition to vote.

Several of these people are not really on the site anymore, but I am going to list all those who have not voted. If you want this contest to have a winner, people, I suggest you get on these layabouts and prod them to put their votes in as well.

Yes, they have the opportunity to vote. And they can most certainly vote for themselves.

My vote is as follows:

Assuming graykane and BigEvilDan split their votes, I'll vote for the third person.

If they vote for the same person, I'll vote for myself.

If only one of them votes, and that vote is for me, I'll vote for that person who voted for me.

If only one of them vote, and they don't vote for me, I'll vote for myself.

If they both abstain, so will I as a show of solidarity.

Clear?

Very, actually. Basically you ain't gonna do shit unless one of them do it first.

More than that. It's a Schroedinger vote that will not resolve itself till the wave function collapses. Ideally, if graykane and Dan play their cards right, we can set up a whole system of votes unable to resolve itself definitively, and if the rest of the community cooperates, we may make it impossible to determine a winner, and you can hand the title to Spankling, who can then ignore it.

You truly are mad.

Guess the movie and win absolutely nothing!

One Upon A Time In The West?

HOLY FUCK!

Here's absolutely nothing, just as I promised!

I know I'll never be able to beat Spankling's cunning strategy of not competeing at all, but I'm still going to vote for myself.

let's see kaufman's formula do its trick.

I'm going with Dan.

My formula works just fine.

It was twenty years ago today
That this Comic Cup got underway.
It started out in Kajun style,
But it's ending up a Mikey pile.
So, let me cast my vote, it's true,
For Kenneth Kaufman's Liverpudlian Brand (of humor)!

[graykane had some great moments, but kaufman's theme, verse, and overall excellence won my vote]

By a margin of one vote, and one vote alone, the winner is...

If you can't read that, it says "KAUMFAN!" in red letters in front of a bunch of cats.

VICTORY!

kaufman is the winner of the Comic Cup, probably the longest-running contest I've ever seen. Besides the "Who Can Deplete The Earth's Natural Resources The Fastest" contest, that is.

Congratulations, kaufmeister.

Congratulations, Kaufman.

I'm very proud to have been a contestant in the contest for nearly a year.

That's not how you spell Spankling, Mikey.

Regardless, congratulations to kaufman for his excellent performance.
