Voting Thread: 2022 Today's Toons Favorites (Final Round)
« on: January 08, 2023, 05:51:20 pm »
The preliminary round went pretty well. The voting reduced the 180 items in that round to the remaining 33 listed in random order below. As it turned out, any item that received less than 4 votes was eliminated.

Each entry is numbered (1-33). 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 noon ET, Sunday, January 15, 2023. 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 15, 2023 or Monday, January 16, 2023. 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 2023, 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...

@Wingnut

Please reread the rules.

Here's part of them:

"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..."

Can't count your ballot until I hear from you.

Otherwise, will have to give each pick 5 7/8 points & I really don't want to do that...

Thanks, pookie! Tough choices, it's been a good year for political cartoonists.

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.

"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
