Voting Thread: 2023 Today's Toons Favorites (Final Round)
« on: January 07, 2024, 07:03:28 pm »
The preliminary round went pretty well. The voting reduced the 180 items in that round to the remaining 32 listed in random order below. As it turned out, any item that received less than 3 votes was eliminated.

Each entry is numbered (1-32). 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 11 AM ET, Sunday, January 14, 2024. 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, 2024 or Monday, January 15, 2024. 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 2024, 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...

@mistfree

Well, you've given me your selections in numerical order inst. of order of preference (see instructions). So, unless I hear from you, each selection will receive 5 1/2 points.

16, 22 ,9, 2, 3, 8, 10, 21, 32, 24.

Thanks Pookie!

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
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'm sorry I missed the preliminary round, but here's my ballot for the Final:

24, 26, 21, 1, 8, 3, 19, 13, 18, 20

I've reshuffled a number of times, but that's where I landed today and I wanted to get my ballot in before I missed the deadline again!   :laugh:

Thanks for doing this, Pookie.  I appreciate you and all your efforts!

Limiting the selection to just 10 was difficult ....

6,7,22,16,27,15,24,11,8,26
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
