Welcome to The Stick Awards II: Second Edition! :smallsmile:

The Stick Awards are handed out to the best strips of all time as chosen by our fellow Playgrounders.

This week we are covering the comic strips 241 through 250.

For full details about the Stick Awards, please check out the main thread here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283609).

To read more about the original Stick Awards, created by Nazzo, the 102nd, please read his thread here. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34791)

To vote in this thread, simply state which comic of the ten listed is your favorite. Bolding the number of the comic (Like this) helps it stand out.

Voting for this week will close on December 9th, 4pm EST. Any votes made after that will NOT count toward the totals.

Last week, :haley: 236 Mean Girl (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0236.html) snarked its way to the top, delivering cutting remarks to all who dared to try to get by it. But which strip will win this week? The only way to find out is to vote in this thread. :smallsmile:

In some contests, the only winning move might be not to play, but for here we encourage everyone to decide who wins.....

ETA::::::

Since we are in, for the foreseeable future, the Aphasia Arc for Haley, I thot it would be helpful to link to the What Haley Said compendium.

Unless you want to solve the cryptograms yourself, of course. :smalltongue:

But if not, here is the link to the thread: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4909

In future weeks, I'll probably put in the translations in the Opening Post. Behind Spoiler Bars for any of the aforementioned cryptogram fans, naturally. :smallwink:

Up until the end I couldn't really decide - nothing really stuck out to me.
But luckily 250 - Oh no, he DIDN'T! came to the rescue! It is one of the funniest of Roys lines imo (also Haleys reaction is just sweet).

There were a couple of comics I thought about choosing, especially 242 because :thog: seems to enjoy (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0788.html) non-traditional panel layouts (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0051.html), but I'm having a lot of difficulty choosing anything but #250.

Good character development for Roy, and it was a relief to see someone finally tell Miko off.

250, and this time I'm sure of it.

250!

The look on Miko's face in the last three panels are priceless. Just when she thought she was gonna get a little "Treasure Type O", too!

250 for the awesome Roy line.

Hm... 243 and 250 are the strongest contenders for me, but in the end, I'll have to go with 250.

250

Firstly,
:roy:: Yes, I was physically attracted to you, but that didn't give me the right to make you uncomfortable with my crude attempts at passes. So for that, I apologise.

Secondly,
:roy:: Oh. Oh, no. I wouldn't touch your skinny uptight ass with a standard-issue 10-ft. pole, you overbearing self-righteous bitch.

Thirdly,
:haley:: *sneak attack hug*

It's worth mentioning that the shadow-jumping art in #242 is pretty awesome, and cryptogram-Haley has some nice lines in #247 and #248 (Sneak attack boot to the face!) but #250 wins by a landslide.

Not a really strong batch, but I'll go with 247

Yeah, 250: Oh no, he DIDN'T! is the clear winner for me as well. Looks like we're going to have another landslide on our hands.

247. Haley kicking Belkar looks so awkward, and it amuses me.

Quite a strong batch, but I'll go with 247. :smalltongue:

249 for me!

1. Best three characters in existence.
2. Craft Disturbing Mental Image.

250. Haley's reaction is great.

#250 seems to be a safe winner so I'll go for #245.

243 for me, with 250 as a close second.

For once i'll vote on the one that wins and go with 250 for the last 3 panels. Pure awesome

250

Killer Angel

250 will easily wipe the floor, but i'll vote for 249

Craft Disturbing Mental Image is too good to be left alone.
