111: Inukchuk! - Durkon shows us one of the reasons Clerics are better warriors than Fighters.

120. That last panel is adorable. Lookit Belkar's wink-and-grin. Lookit V with arms stuck out for the joy of it.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
So many good choices! Which to choose?
I'm going to have to go with #114, because Roy is a total bad-ass in that strip. (Plus, the MitD trying to cope with stage fright is really funny. )

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
Hmm...there's good stuff in each of these, but none of them really stand out to me. I guess I'll go with #111: Inukchuck as it shows Durkon in badass mode for the first time...and Belkar's quiet disappointment is a great capper.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
120, for finally getting started with the real plot (as the strip title says, even). Miko's overly-ominous words are the first hint of a larger meaning to the whole Gate thing, aren't they?
Aside: I only just realised that that's the exact same time as this strip.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
112. 'Great. Me first' is still one of my favorite Xykon moments. I know he's had many more spectacular since then, but this one is just a classic. The nonchalant way he destroys the heroes' plan still makes me crack up every time I read it.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
Nothing super stands out in this pack (which I guess is OK, since my favorites never win anyway ). But I guess I'll vote 115, mostly for the classic Belkar action at the end.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
I'm going to have to go with 114 for "You! Broke! My! Sword!" and Roy 'killing' Xykon.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
120 seems tops, but 116, 118, & 119 are worthy of note.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
Oh man, this is a good batch. 113 and 114 both get honorable mention for being the first real climax, but I think ultimately, I have to go with 120.
We get a Krackakoom, lots of good foreshadowing, and the end of a trade paperback. Too much good stuff to pass up.

Great set, but 120 sets the tone for the rest of the series.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
I vote for #111.
There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
I wish I'd voted earlier so I could say, "Me first," and vote for #112.
I prepared Comic Sans today.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
120 is great and has many good jokes, but 116 cracks me up with V, the elf-magic detection rod.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
Man. Really tough round. All of these are pretty close in my book.
I'm going to have to go with 113 for the emotional depth, partly because I think it's been underrated thus far.Number of Character Appearances VII - To Absent Friends

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
Several good ones here, but I think I have to go with 113. Roy's just standing there, and you don't know what he's going to do or how he's going to react, and then you get to that last panel. And you're like, oh crap, that skeleton is going DOWN.
I'm playing Ironsworn, an RPG that you can run solo - and I'm putting the campaign up on GitP!

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0111 - #0120)
Very good pack, though call between 114 and 120, but I'm going to go with 120. I love this end of book foreshadowing that the Giant does.
