I rated both of those comics "good" so I'm sorry that I have to vote for just one, but Porternotes it is.

I like how CC310, back in 2006, was about MySpace's dominance, but now that we've revived the rules in 2015, we can only talk about its decline.  I look forward to 2024 when we'll be making comics about Facebook's decline and sharing them on Friendernet.

I've invested too much time into reading Porternotes' comics to see him fail now.

Agreed that both were good but my vote goes to Matchbook_Romance. That comic definitely relates to so many people out there

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!

jes_lawson has entered the competition, bringing us up to a nice round 16.

This means we don't need the three-way in round 7, and instead we can have:

Round 7 - TheGovernor vs UnknownEric

Round 8 - ragu4u vs jes_lawson

Round 5

four_legged_tripod vs ArtemisStrong

CC 262: On the Job (17th October 2004 - Hosted by fzh, won by seattlesque)

As a child, most of us want to be something like a Doctor or a Football Player or a Teacher when we grow up. As we develop we learn about a wider variance in the job market. We find out about Marine Biologists, Advertising Agents, Prostitutes and Car Salesmen. However, do we know about all the positions people in this world hold? Most likely not. After all, do you think about the CEO of the company that produces those cheap statuettes at the dollar store? How about the Mayor of Hot Coffee, Mississippi? And who was the guy who designed that stupid crown logo for Hallmark anyway?

Your Mission: Create a comic about a job that nobody ever thinks about.

The Rules: The Job doesn't have to be real, but it has to be believable. You can't make it a comic about a guy getting paid to wax hobo penises, because such a job never would exist.

PorterNotes proceeds to the next round.

ArtemisStrong has 24 hours to post a comic or four_legged_tripod goes through by default.

Also, does anyone fancy volunteering to run the random number generator for Round 6? It's not fair if I get to choose the rule for my own round.

Come on Artemis. I don't want win by default.

 

And I will run the random number generator if you wish. Just tell me when we need to start the next round.

Can I vote for ArtimesTripod? or Four_LeggedStrong?

 

It's a tough choice as I laughed at both.

 

Since I have to choose one:

 

Four_Legged_Tripod is it.

Both fine comics, but four_legged_tripod had the more obscure job.  Plus Artemis' entry was too long by exactly 1.64 panels.

four_legged_tripod beats ArtemisStrong 7-3.

I am leading edoggydogg by 6-2.

It's still 6-5 in the KKP vs BryceKain round, jes_lawson is still to vote. Also UnknownEric but I suspect he's gone AWOL, which is good news for TheGovernor...

Round 7

UnknownEric vs The Governor

Okay, this is weird. The random number generator came up with 522, and I just checked and there is no CC522, they jump from 499 to 550. Which is apt considering one of the contestants in this round appears to have vanished.

Second time was luckier, it came up with:

CC 43 - THE CRABBY ERA!!!!!!!! (10th July 2001, hosted by Crabby, won by Dr._Light)

1. All entries must be submitted using nothing but CAPS.
2. You must portray or make reference to Dr Pedantic being a squirrel.
3. Display your angry at the fact that I won CC42.

See the Stripcreator In-Joke FAQ if you need a reminder on who Dr Pedantic is.

Go!

It's worse than you think.  You're right that there's no 500 through 522, but there are contests numbered 523 and up; they're just out of order.  Furthermore, as side effects of an (ultimately successful) attempt to right the ship, there are two contests numbered 577, and also two contests numbered 573, though the first is dually numbered and probably should rightly be considered #523.  I examined the state of affairs in CC571.

Anyway, 43 is a good set of rules, and I hope UnknownEric comes back in time to make it a good fight.

My fault. I ran CC 500 but did not proof read that I accidentally typed 550. It then took on a life of its own.

6.  KVK - Probably due to the fact I've been shopping in that accursed swedish ratmaze a lot recently, but it tickled me.

 

Looking back over CC43 made me sad that I never got to use the blue on blue background which I think Brad disabled shortly after I started stripping (or maybe before), though I suppose its hard to miss something you never had.

Wait, its still 6-5 to me is it now?

I actually havent followed the scoring, it all gets rather lost inbetween the other rounds. 

 

Oh , and KvK
