Here is the random draw order I came up with:

Big Evil Dan & Spankling VS Andy Dougan & Kaufman
gabe_billings & Boorite VS descolada99 & flickguy
fuzzyman & krinkle VS ladyjdotnet & DexX
Drexle & lara7 VS Crabby & Alcyonae

First up is Big Evil Dan & Spankling VS Andy Dougan & Kaufman.

Your one rule is that your strip must have Jesse James in it. You can use the cowboy to portray him, if you'd like. He can be a guest star or the main character. Just use Jesse James's real story and not one of the legends. You have 36 hours.

Spankling November 14, 2001 3:01 PM	Contact me at the email listed below, Dan.

ladyjdotnet November 14, 2001 3:06 PM	I'm a little confused about the logistics. Do they collaborate on one strip and one of them creates it and submits it? Do they submit two strips? How does this work?

andydougan November 14, 2001 3:09 PM	I think we submit a two-parter, one strip by each member of the tag team. At least, that's my understanding. It'd be handy to know for sure, since I'm among the first up.

Spankling November 14, 2001 3:20 PM	Do we get to collaborate or do we surprise each other and go in the order listed?

attitudechicka November 14, 2001 4:10 PM	Collaborate all you want. You are, after all, partners. Yes, it's a two-part strip. One person submits the first part, the second submits the second part. Any further questions?

andydougan November 14, 2001 4:13 PM	Yeah. What's the square root of 1764?

crabby November 14, 2001 9:08 PM	It looks like I'm gonna need a new partner seeing as how Allison has left us all forever.

Kevin_Keegans_Perm November 14, 2001 11:00 PM	I think i got designated as a judge , but i reckon they can survive with 3 judges if youre short a partner Crabby. Shout me on ICQ if youve got it.

This could be the crappiest team ever produced but I think were both capable of pulling out a crazy under dog run to the finals.

Kevin_Keegans_Perm November 14, 2001 11:34 PM	Actually , i was thinking more were both capable of producing one half of a comic that is loathed more than anything ever produced by Fuck , but which , 30 years from now , will be acknowledged as the finest comic of its generation.

Kevin_Keegans_Perm November 15, 2001 11:45 AM	Maybe Crabby does. I have to be martyred and wait until time stops and begins travelling backwards before ill get any respect around here.
Post #27204	link

kaufman November 15, 2001 1:18 PM	Well, my teammate hasn't answered my email, and I'm getting a bit edgy and so I'll just jump the gun on this thing. Hope it doesn't hang him too much -- I'm trying to steer it in a direction he can take. I also hope that by starting out basing it on Jesse James facts, we can then disappear into ridiculous fancy :-) 42863

andydougan November 15, 2001 7:57 PM	42908 I spent almost an hour on that last panel. Time for some more Red Bull.

Spankling November 15, 2001 10:04 PM	Big Evil Dave asked me to post these together. 4292542929

DexX November 15, 2001 10:17 PM	Shit. We're supposed to choose between these??? I am going to have to think about this... both pairs made me laugh out loud.
Post #27328	link

lara7 November 15, 2001 10:18 PM	tough choice. I think Big evil Spankling, though.
Post #27329	link

Drexle November 15, 2001 11:56 PM	After Andy's followup, I almost thought they had it in the bag, but not so. Big Evil Spankling does it for me as well. This whole round was just so sick and wrong... makes me green with envy.
Post #27336	link

kramer_vs_kramer November 16, 2001 1:32 AM	The anagrams did it for me- I vote for AndyKaufman of Taxi fame.
Post #27339	link

fuzzyman November 16, 2001 5:10 AM	Is everybody voting or just the judges? If everybody is voting, then mine goes to AndyKaufman. They stayed closer the Jesse James theme and were still funny. How long did it take to research that?
Post #27358	link

kramer_vs_kramer November 16, 2001 5:26 AM	As far as I make it, everything's exactly the same as normal comic cups, except for the whole tag team thing.

ladyjdotnet November 16, 2001 5:56 AM	quote: As far as I make it, everything's exactly the same as normal comic cups, except for the whole tag team thing. Yes, but the tag team element is what makes it special. The strips have to work together. It's like a cross between the serial comic and the comic cup, but the team members can strategize and work together. It's a good thing. I vote for Big Evil Spankling
Post #27370	link

kramer_vs_kramer November 16, 2001 6:00 AM	I meant everything was the same in terms of voting rules etc. I agree that hopefully the tag team element will bring out some very good strips.
Post #27372	link

DexX November 16, 2001 6:15 AM	After a lot of pondering (several whole minutes!) I had decided to vote for Dankling, but then I went back, had a re-read... and got undecided again. Finally, I have come to the conclusion that those angrams tip the scales, so my vote for this round goes to Andy Kaufman. Sorry Spanks and Dan. I came very close to voting for you two, but...

Kevin_Keegans_Perm November 16, 2001 7:54 AM	I vote for Latka Sorry ANDY KAUFMAN
Post #27398	link

boorite November 16, 2001 8:29 AM	Andy Kaufman Because Andy's contribution was so, so disturbed and sick. It takes some doing to out-perv Spankling. Spanks, I bet this'll raise your game to entirely new levels.

Originally, I had set up the official judges thing so no one would be left out and then only the judges could vote. That way everyone had an active part. But, since KKP is now in the cup and skagg is MIA, and kramer seems to be having fun just sitting back and letting me do all the damned work ;), everyone is free to vote. It would suck to have just 2.5 judges anyway. That would be grounds for major ass kissing.

boorite November 16, 2001 9:57 AM	Oh, I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to vote. This si why I haven't got into these Cups yet. Attention span too short.
Post #27432	link

Spankling November 16, 2001 10:02 AM	From what I remember the only ones not allowed to vote were DexX, Kevin Keegans Perm, boorite, fuzzyman, and kramer_vs_kramer.

KajunFirefly November 16, 2001 3:15 PM	regardless of wether it counts, I just have to throw my opinion into the ring and despite having a small connection with andydougan, I have to say, that personally, I thought Big Evil Spankling's comic was a clear winner!

And it came out as a tie. I waited for some more votes, which never came. And now it's down to my deciding vote. I hate this. My vote goes to

Big Evil Spankling

Congrats, guys, you definitely deserve it.

Next up: gabe_billings & Boorite VS descolada99 & flickguy

Your rule comes from kramer: Make the two strips that make up the entry to be like a "before and after"
style commercial for some stupid product. One strip should be the "before" and
the other the "after".

You, again, have 36 hours. Just so we're clear, everyone can vote except gabe, Boo, des, and flick.
