WELCOME TO ROUND TWO!!!! Incase you missed it in the other thread, these will be the match ups for round 2.

jes_lawson VS brycekain 

not_Scyess VS RCCOLAMAN

four_legged_tripod VS ladyjdotnet

AND...

HCRoyall VS gabe_billings

Also, I've ditched the whole family feud idea, although, I still feel you can all be very proud to compete in this contest.

Hopefully, you haven't all lost all interest in the cup. We're going to kick off round two with: 

BRYCEKAIN vs JES_LAWSON

For this round I will be showcasing rules from comic contests hosted by people competing in the 2nd round. Give you all a chance to shine since alot of you have held many great contests in your own right. The rules for this round come from an HCRoyall contest back in CC373. Here are the rules:

This contest will revolve around the middle panel. The middle panel must be silent (no speech OR thought bubbles) and must be of a memory that the characters in the other two panels are talking about.

For example:

Thank God I'm not in the first match up.  I need some time to prepare if I'm facing off against that gorilla felcher.

Ah crap. I get the tricky one. Ok, time to put my thinking cap on.

I can only vote on weekends because of my pre-college program...

Hey, wait.  You're paired with me.

FUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOUUUU!

Just so Gabe doesn't throw a hissy fit about this thing moving too slow. I have received confirmation from Jesly that a strip will be posted by Wednesday and I will wait for him. The rest of you... Keep up the good work!

I just had to vote for Jes

Tough call, but in the end I have to give it to jes_lawson just because brycekain couldn't be arsed to spell out "What the fuck" in its entirety.

Wish all ringtones were 4' 33".  Jes gets the vote.

jes

I too have to go with Jes on this one.

JES, because it could have been Philip Glass, which would be worse than silence.

Jes, because I had to use wikipedia to get it, and ended up learning something. Oh, and cause it was funnier.

Great opening to the 2nd round. Kudos to both of you. Let's keep those votes coming in people, it's not quite over yet!

Onto the next match of this round and a match up I am really looking forward to, not_Scyess VS RCCOLAMAN! The rules for this contest will come from CC265 which was hosted by mmyers. Here are the rules:

Or even me, the lowly filing clerk? The possibilities are plentiful.

I *snrk*ed at brycekain's,  but the greater amusement definitely came from jes.

There is certainly a clear choice... Mr. Jes

Jes gets my vote! new entry coming soon so stay tuned!

Jes

More features than a rotary phone!

(Which is jes, and this joke is older than my son)

I'm going to just post the rules for the next match up again in case the contestants missed the original post. I'm sure they will have something up soon. These are two young men we can all agree are people we can count on! Keep up the great work with votes people, you're doing a great job!

I can't make them make comics you piece of shit. And your childish attituded throughout hasn't been funny or helpful. These things always tend to move slow. That is the way they work. I'm sorry it isn't good enough for you, but it is what it is and I trust these men to show up and make comics soon. So wait your turn and relax.

Sorry I'm late!  Here's my brilliant masterpiece.

/comics/not_Scyess/498704/

Crap I guess the ball's in my court...I guess i'll stop procasturbating and post something soon.

Oh I dunno. I think gabe's childish attitude is pretty funny.

C'mon.  I'm not really annoyed, I just like needling Crabby.  He knows I only jest.  I hope.  Just like I assume all the horrible, nasty things he says about me aren't true.

Unless he's serious.  In which case we should worry, because he sounds like he might be ready to go over the edge and go all postal on our asses.

The only way Gabe could ever make me angry is if he called my girlfriend ugly. That is the sorta thing men lose their minds over. 

Wait, you've got a girlfriend?  I thought that was just a sasquatch you found run over in the street and were nursing back to health.

Well, I'm leaving forever.

That's not nearly long enough.

I was going to leave forever, but I just had to come back and tell you that I won't let you hold me down while I try my damndest to run a quality comic cup. I apologies to all these great contestants for letting things get out of hand and I'll try my best to keep my cool in future situations.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Sorry for the late entry, I was kicking around various scripts, doing a little focus grouping to see what appealed most to the 18-49 crowd. Then I said fuck it and wrote this:

/comics/RCCOLAMAN/498915/

Herbert Jackson "Jack" Youngblood III (born January 26, 1950) is a former American football defensive end who played for 14 years for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League. He was a five-time consensus All-Pro and a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Youngblood graduated from the University of Florida, was an All-America selection, and is considered among the best players the school has ever produced, having been named to the Gator Football Ring of Honor and voted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

But my vote goes to not_Scyess.

not_Scyess gets my vote

RC Cola ftw.

RCCOLA, for the sterling Kaufman pun reference.

Kaufmania is running wild!  RCCOLAMAN gets my vote.

Both were great tough one...however because the penguin reminds me of my ex RCCOLAMAN

Don't ask why the penguin reminds me of my ex long story

Make my cola a diet, please.

Yes, I'm quite sure that was a weight joke.

RCCOLA for me, please.

COLA

Bad news, folks.  I just heard that Crabby was killed in the line of duty while at his job scraping roadkill off of Chicago city streets.  Apparently he was run down by a busload of nuns from the Sisterhood of the Sorrowful Mother convent, which then tragically struck a nearby tree and blew up.

Anyhoo, the executor of his will contacted me and apparently not only did he leave me his Sir Mix-alot cassette tape collection and his drywalling stilts, he also wanted me to take his place in running this comic cup.

That being said, I'm sure he wouldn't want us to sit around grieving for him, so we'll just press on.

In the interests of speeding things up a bit, the remainder of the cup will work a little differently.  Everyone involved in the cup, regardless of whether you've been eliminated or not, will be required to make a donation to a fund I've created to keep Crabby's memory alive and purchase flowers annually for his tombstone.

Please send your remittance to the following address:

Gabe Billings
PO Box 54873
Eugene, OR  97405

Make out your check to the name of the fund I organized, 'Crabby will Always be Singing in our Hearts', or just use the acronym CASH.  Amount should be no less than $500.  Incidentally the largest donor will also be the winner of this comic cup.  Ties will result in a duel to the death.

Thanks!
