This has been fun for me because I love this play so much. Even if I don't win, I had a lot of fun doing this one.

Just to get everything on the same page...

[quote]RULE 1 (from UnknownEric) - Must use the word "efficacious".

RULE 2 (from umfumdisi) - Use only characters from kaddar2, and the Narration boxes in each panel must contain quotes from Shakespeare's plays describing the events of that panel. (For those wondering about the kaddar2, I let umfumdisi submit a new rule. The orignal set of rules were literally impossible to complete.)

RULE 3 (from Rabid_Weasle) - Everyone must speak in limericks.

There once was a guy named mmyers,
who thought the entries so good, he retired,
he read the entries he saw,
but couldn't rule it a draw,
he voted Chicka then hit himself with pliers.

There once was a man from Nantucket...

...wait, no...

An unknown man named Eric did see
Two comics as good as could be
He flipped a coin with a grin
on its edge it did spin
so he said, "Fuck it, I'll vote for crabby."

I has a flavor!

Well, wee Chicka was witty and bold.
Crabby's comic was fluid and rolled.
But at risk of a-binnin',
My chance of Cup Winnin',
crabby's metre and rhyme had me sold.

they once wuz a playa wit' attitude
who dropped mad science--not platitude
she rhymed most bodacious
with results efficacious
so I shout out mad props and much gratitude

There once was a chick from the U.S.
Whose comics did much to impress.
Despite the funny crab,
It was she who did grab
My vote for her comic of "yes!"

Fuck all that, I'm just gonna vote for chicka.

chicka

(I couldn't do a limerick if you paid me.)

This is not my empire.

I wandered lonely as a crab.

Tough rules, but they both took a stabby,
Portrayed folks in true need of Dear Abby.
Both comics were stellar,
But the vote from this feller,
Goes (surprise!) out to attitudechicka.

Crabby!

Dad was flammable

I'd like to be overly gracious,
but voting for both strips is not advantageous.
These rules - they did suck,
(though they both tried like fuck)
but I have to award Chicka's efficacious...ness.

D'OH!

---
If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no luck at all. D'OH!

Boom Chicka boom chicka boom

I couldn't do a limerick if you spotted me the first 3 sentences.

My vote goes to crabby.

I'm ending votes tonight, so you'd better get a move on.

FINAL ROUND: jes_lawson vs. attitudechicka

Now, with all of the unused rules and new revenge rules, this would be a five-rule match. I'm not cruel enough to force people to use five rules in a single comic, so you each get to make two comics. It's up to you if you want to make a series out of them or just make individual comics.

[u]COMIC 1: THE REVENGE RULES[/u]

RULE 1 (from CrunchyCheese) - The person who eliminates me (as well as chicka) must make a comic about my untimely, and undeserved demise

RULE 2 (from crabby) - Political campaign of a leftist nautre. Said politician running was a space farmer at one point in his life. And it must take place within the grounds of a World's Fair.

RULE 3 (from me, just for filler) - One character must seek revenge on another.

[u]COMIC 2: THE CLASSIC RULES[/u]

RULE 1 (from Trippingbillee) - there must be one palindrome present in the strip, not counting numbers

RULE 2 (from habnem) - The comic must explain why one shouldn't pick his or her nose after midnight.

RULE 3 (from mmyers) - They must use the phrase, "If Dick Clark were dead, he'd be rolling in his grave."

Jesus H. I feel sorry for you two.

And us for having to judge 'em.

Yes, these are the moments that make me glad I suck so much I get knocked out in the first round...

Yeah, flickguy, we rock!
