2011 Today's Toons Favorites (Preliminary Round)
« on: January 08, 2012, 08:53:37 pm »
Here it is...the 3rd annual Today's Toons favorites. I'd like to publicly thank TED, corbies3, musicman & TheOldLady 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. Would also like to thank Reagan Fanatic & Oceander who used their photoshopping skills to correct a multitude of spelling/usage errors in many of the items that were posted. Right now, there are 4 of us here who vote on a regular basis; if you'd like to help for 2012, 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/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. 15, 2012. 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 1/16/12 (I suggest that dial-up users wait for this round). The results of this final vote will be posted on 1/23/12. The decision of the judge (Today's Toons editor-in-chief) is final! Questions? Bring it on! And now, on with the show!!
