Too too difficult, so I had to go or things that made me laugh out loud, namely:
1. Dash Decent 1 - Mr Mean Machine
2. CFM - Snow Dredd
3. Bhuna - for the whole set
Arsom stuff all round, so everybody else gets an Hon Mensh.
My votes, after much deliberation...
1. DASH DECENT 2: Judgie the Helicopter - just brilliant!
2. CRAZYFOXMACHINE: The Snow Dredd - I desperately want to read this!
3. IAMTHESYSTEM 2: Pooh Sticks* - love the expression on Tigger's little furry face.
Honourable mention to BOLT-01 & RICHMOND CLEMENTS - because Math Machine's Disney-like eye is disturbingly friendly and twinkly.
Dishonourable mention to DASH DECENT 1 for nicking my Roger Thargreaves joke!
-- Mike
* Yes, it does
geez tough...really tough

1. Bhuna. Brilliant drawings, but inspired titles, too. I really do want to read these!
2. CrazyFoxMachine. Beautifully done.
3. Toni Scandella. I've read the original book to my daughter sooo many times. Its great. And so is Tonis take.
H.M. I think I'm going with Zarjazzer. It mad me chuckle heartily. Or 'lol', as the youth of today would have it. :D
1. David Frankum

Dishonourable mention to DASH DECENT 1 for nicking my Roger Thargreaves joke!
Would you believe it was a homage?!?
Here we goes:
1 - David Frankum, Going on an Alien Hunt. It's so authentic looking yet scary, like the end of The Wickerman.
2 - IATS 1, Little Dredd Riding Hood, great pun, cool picture. To be honest, I loved all three of his entries.
3 - Toni Scandella's Very Hungry Dinosaur, brilliantly executed.
HM - Mike Carroll erm.... 2! no, 1, aaaagh but 2 is so cute! Aaaaagh 2.
1- Bahuna
2-Iam the system
3-Dash Decent 1
Hello art fiends. Sorry about any delay with the comp. We (Mum, brother, myself) lost my Dad to the illness he'd been fighting for the last seventeen years on Sunday. I'll be around a lot less for a while but the mighty Emperor will no doubt keep things well in hand. If anyone would like to volunteer their services to help him out (it is a pretty simple set up to be honest), then I'm sure a PM in his direction wouldn't be amiss.
Cheers, Kerrin.
Shit. Sorry to hear that.
Kerrin my sympathy at this tough time. Good luck hope when your ready you'll be back.
Terrible news Kerrin. All my sympathies to you and your family.
Very sorry to hear of your loss, Kerrin, I'm sure you will be in the thoughts of the forum as a whole.
So sorry to hear about your lose Kerrin. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
That's as tough as it comes Kerrin. Take as much time off as you and your family need. This is one of those times when words are simply inadequate. :(
Terrible news Kerrin, my thoughts are with you mate.
Sorry to here that Kerrin.
Sorry to hear of your loss, Kerrin. Thoughts are with you and your family.
Sorry to hear that Kerrin. My thoughts are also with you and your family.
Yes Kerrin let me know his sad news a few days ago and the spreadsheet is up and running, so everything should go smoothly. Thanks to Bhuna for the offer of help, as it is handy to have someone independently check the numbers before I announce them (and someone who'll give me a prod when the voting is over - which reminds me I need to vote).
So sorry to hear your sad news Kerrin.

Thanks to Bhuna for reminding me that the deadline was a few days ago (this is why I need someone on the ball to make up for my skimming).
I'll extend the deadline to 8pm on Friday. Votes are already being totted up so I'll be able to announce the winner in the evening and then turn it around quickly to start the next one.
So thanks to Kerrin for all his hard work on this round (I'm just coming in to do some light sums), plus thanks to everyone who has voted and if you thought you didn't have time to get yours in, now you do.
Glad for the extend, was feeling bad about not voting, gonna work through now.
Was gonna post the top three up on the website as well if thats cool, so anyone who'd rather I didnt let me know. I'll add in links to any websites or stuff you got in your sigs.
And of course... really sorry to hear about your loss Kerrin. Imagine theres fuck all anyone can say but me and Iz thinking of ya mate

OK voting shut, no wiggle room, not even for me (the big fool).
I'll get the numbers crunched, announce it tomorrow and, hopefully, get the next round up and running soon.
Bhuna - fancy doing a quick count to doublecheck my numbers on the spreadsheet?
Yea can do Emperor. Been to the pub so I'm off to see Billy mud! Pm me how it's worked out and i'll work it out hand in hand with my hangover tomorrow!
1: Mike Carroll - Visible Man. I feel like I've actually owned that tatty little book!
2: I am the System 2 - Pooh sticks
3: Bhuna - they should make this Frightful series!
EDIT: Bugger just read I'm too late. If so - sorry I'm crap at voting. I al;ways miss the deadline!
