Here it is...the 7th annual Today's Toons favorites. I'd like to publicly thank TED, musicman, Chickadee & flowers for helping me with some/all of the monthly voting. Via these ballots, we tallied the selections (15/month) which received the most votes. Those monthly selections make up this preliminary round. In 2016, there’ll be 4 of us here who vote on a regular basis; if you'd like to help, send me a private message & I'll tell you what would be involved.
 
There are some "rules" here, but not many. When selecting your favorites, use your own criteria. Some like funny, clever, pithy, touching, etc. Some like cartoons, photoshops, animations, etc. So, judge each entry unto itself. As the one who adds click-on audios, videos, pics, toons, satirical stories, etc., to existing entries, I judge these to be part of that entry as a whole...you, of course, can ignore that if you wish...but only at your own peril  ;-)
 
Each entry is numbered (1-180). Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to send me (via comment in this thread or private message) the numbers,
in any order, of your 30 (or fewer) favorites. If you are caught sending more than 30, I won't disavow your existence, but will ask you to remove any excess. This offer will self-destruct at 2 PM ET, Sunday, Jan. 10, 2016. Good luck!

If certain pics/toons don't download (even after a refresh/reload), send me their numbers (which will show up) & I'll try to help. My plan is to post the 30 (plus ties) finalists in a new thread on 1/10/16 or 1/11/16 (I suggest that dial-up users wait for this round). The results of this final vote will be posted on 1/17/16 or 1/18/16. The decision of the judge (Today's Toons editor-in-chief) is final! Questions? Bring it on! And now, on with the show!!

Okay, gonna give it a go. The ones I chose (most are relate to my personal hatred for the Muslim in the White House) offer the viewer a joyous, wonderful (and necessary) emotional release:

77, 36, 38, 81, 164, 88, 41, 174, 51, 82, 53, 85, 56, 67, 80.

I would like also to add an individual message to Mr. 0:  :tongue2:

Well, if 0bama were in office any longer, giving things while ignoring voting would be commonplace. However, not here...so thanks for voting, Vic!

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

Before I forget, just wanted you to know that your ballot counts at the other site as well. I don't have a choice at this point. I'll watch parts of games if they doesn't interfere with anything else going on.
