Final Poll: P.O.W.! 28: The Funnies: Topic A...

Well, we struck a chord with this little fiasco! I'm quite proud of you grubby little bastards. We even had an entry from my favorite irritatingly motor-mouthed pro. :P We had five solid entries, one great start, and a rather creative series that just simply ignored all the rules that I'm also posting but not putting to poll. I may have made some comments in your posting if I thought one was needed. (I had mine done but didn't get to translate them to jpegs in time, so I'll post mine later when i get a chance.)

Excellent work, everyone, especially considering the severe limitations on this kind of strip. I'm hoping the entries for Topic B come in as nice as these did.

The voting will be open for roughly two weeks. Vote for one artist (and NOT yourself), and just to remind you--the theme is "The Funnies: Topic A..." with any interpretation you felt appropriate to your story. The art had to be black and white, the norm for this type of art.

Artists are posted in alphabetical order...

VeSeljak, just how much effort would it have taken to adapt these to the rules just a slight bit. The ideas are great, the treatment is great, and the ability to annoy me is great, so...give me a break next time...pleeeeeze...? :P

kyurai: Non-Competing...

kyurai, you're off to a good start, but you'll need to simplify your overall character details or they'll get lost, and the text as it is definitely won't hold up if it goes to finish in this "style." I'd like to see you do a bit more work on these rather than just letting them slide...it's got the possibility of a nice "chatty" strip...

Heh, sorry Ilaekae... I was out of town last week and started school right after I came back, so the comic got lost in the shuffle. Thanks for your nice words, though. I'll try and make sure I finish what I start next time... would hate to make a grown man cry :)

I had trouble picking a winner, but went with Kmadden in the end, because his comic made me laugh the most. It was a tough call, though.
