Title: 2012 Today's Toons Favorites: Results
Post by: pookie18 on January 20, 2013, 09:08:55 pm
After starting with >13,000 possibilities, the 4th annual Best Of Today's Toons is over & all the votes have been tallied. Neither hanging nor pregnant chads were encountered & Diebold equipment was not used. First, a few stats. 18 of the 43 finalists received 1st-place votes. There were 22 valid entries received & thanks to all of you who took the time to vote!! Votes were cast, in order of preference, for between 1 & 10 of the finalists. Cartoonists Anthony Branco(7), Stilton Jarlsberg/Hope N Change(4), Michael Ramirez(4), Eric Allie(3) & Mike Lester(3) all had the multiple items in the finals. Wanted to publicly thank Oceander for creating the virtual trophies (like THIS (http://i47.tinypic.com/104hhky.png)) which will be sent to the top 10 finishers. The method of scoring was as follows: A 1st-place vote received 10 pts., a 2nd-place vote earned 9 pts., ..., down to a 10th-place vote which got 1 pt. And now, the results:


#43 (0 pts./0 1st-place votes):

I'm confused by a recurrence - #9 seems to repeat at #21. Even with that there is lots of work, that is appreciated, represented here.
Thanks.

First I'd seen these, Pookie.  Nice work.  And may I say that I am proud to have a linked video in your top 25.

Thanks & you (& Tiger) da man, massadvj!

He won ugly, but a win is a win.  He still has trouble keeping that new swing under control on the weekends.  But I did see some evidence of the old Tiger for sure.
