Voting Thread: 2017 Today's Toons Favorites (Final Round)
« on: January 07, 2018, 10:28:04 pm »
The preliminary round went pretty well. The voting reduced the 180 items in that round to the remaining 49 listed in random order below. As it turned out, any item that received less than 3 votes was eliminated. 43 items received no votes at all.
 
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.
 
Each entry is numbered (1-49). Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to send me (via comment in this thread/private message) the numbers
in order of preference of your 10 (or fewer, if you can't find 10 that you like) favorites. If you are caught sending more than 10, I won't disavow your existence, but will ask you to remove any excess. This offer will self-destruct at 2 PM ET, Sunday, January 14, 2018. Scoring will be as follows: A 1st-place vote will get 10 pts., a 2nd-place vote earns 9 pts., ..., down to a 10th-place vote getting 1 pt. 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. The detailed results of this final vote hopefully will be posted on Sunday, January 14, 2018 or Monday, January 15, 2018. The decision of the judge (Today's Toons editor-in-chief) is final! Questions? Bring it on! And now, on with the show!!

P.S. If you'd like to inquire about possibly helping with the Best Of 2018, private message me ASAP & I'll tell you what would be involved.

P.P.S. Did I remember to say
  in order of preference?

P.P.P.S. If you send me your picks in numerical order, I will ask you if they're really (altogether now) in order of preference...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Thank you for doing this Pookie

Long time, @Wingnut!

You have sent me both nos. in numerical order & also selecting the non-existent #100 so this must be a joke. However, if it is not, go back & read the instructions & try again...

"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."

Hwy Pookie!  Sorry I missed the first round.  I married a woman 12 years my junior and now I have no time or energy for extracurricular activities. Seems like a slow year for humor, all around, and that is why I picked only 8.  All but two would not have made the cut in previous years.  I think the POTUS is so utterly watchable, it's hard to compete with him on any level.  Here are my picks in order of preference.

16, 35, 13, 30, 32, 43, 44

As in previous years, this is the definitive list, so you can shut the contest down bow.  :cool:

Congrats on your marriage & thanks for voting, @massadvj! Many of my prelim round selections didn't make it to the final round...you're even more exhausted than you realized...you picked only 7!
