Just a reminder for everyone to vote in this comic tournament thingy. Last I checked, GK was 14 votes down from Homestuck, and it would be delightful if Gunnerkrigg won.

The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

Gunnerkrigg is consistently behind Homestuck by ten votes. I dunno man.

If you have not voted in this horrible contest, please do so, because Tom will get $100 if GKC wins. It's not a lot, but Tom should be given as many of the dollars as possible.

Hell, I make money off Homestuck and I tossed my vote in for GC. I agree with Hussie that MSPA doesn't need more exposure at this point, which is the key benefit of this contest. GC is great, and I'm all about good artists making a living off their art, so I want to support Tom's recent move as much as possible.

I'm pretty sure GC has just won by four votes.

11,164 to 11,160

E: don't know if votes are still being counted, each side gained 21 when I refreshed.

There's a significant percentage of Homestuck fans that are certain they know what's better for the comic than Hussie.

What?

Also Hussie made a joke about having the $100 go to a random person as an Olive Garden gift card when he made that tumblr post. Looking at the comments, there are people voting for Homestuck that mention it.

Let me repeat that, there is at least one Homestuck fan actively ignoring Hussie saying he would rather Gunnerkrigg win because they want to win a gift card to Olive Garden.

So I just looked up Goblins... What the gently caress? How did that mess get even half this far? Who would vote for that?

I would honestly rather look at the "art" in CAD.

Well, I don't know how it made it to the semi finals, but this is the reason it didn't get murdered by OOTS.

Regardless, GC has made it to the finals and I'll vote for it regardless of how meaningless this poll might be.:toot:
