At least we didn't press the "Doddering Old Man" button.

Yeah, pressing the "telegenic guy who dances on Ellen" button was really the smart pick.

Well, anyone pushing that "major two party candidate that isn't all that different than the other two party candidate, except looking different" is a tool.

Laughing target, i see where you're coming from. But a third party vote is a wasted vote because, unfortunately, a third party candidate will never ever win. That said, your viewpoint is a hell of a lot smarter than the two tards before you.

And if everyone who says its a wasted vote actually voted third party, Obama and McCain would have 4 votes between the two of them.

Why link to a jpeg instead of the actual site, LaughingTarget? ...oh, because your version is bullshit? http://change.gov/americaserves/
The college community service idea is one of the reasons I voted for him.

Hang on - you voted for Obama because of one of his empty promises of bettering your situation through someone else's sacrifice? Wow, you're so DIFFERENT than all the other gullible suckers that voted for him.
Incidentally, AmeriCorps has been around since the early 90's. Your Mr. Change really has no new ideas whatsoever.

@LT: "And if everyone who says its a wasted vote actually voted third party"
And what if I genuinely don't like any 3rd party candidate? Is that OK Sparky, or do I have to ignore my conscience in order to vote correctly? Crap, if there's anything worse than those morons that say you can't vote 3rd party it's the pretentious twats that say it's wrong not to.

Ach, and here I got tempted by the lure of the Soap Box. The path to the banhammer is littered with opinionated posts.

Comic wise... A shocker. They are all good this week. They all elicited some feeling of joy out of me, but 2P start was the only one to get me to lol.
Graphic wise, I'll have to go with El Verde's #10. Think You.

A good week for all comics, but 2p start was just too much.

Hey, thanks everyone for voting! I feel like Nader!

This was an excellent week for webcomics. Clearly I'm biased towards my own strip, but the 2P Start one was pretty clever.
Oh, and I choose logo #7 because it hits on all the comic cylinders with the "Meanwhile" style boxes and the dialog bubble. Maybe the second "Meanwhile" box could be changed to a sound effect or something...

The premise isn't all that funny in the first place, and it was poorly executed. But it's better than 2P Start, so that's something.

For the first time in a month I laughed while looking at the Weekly Webcomic Wrapup. I think it was because that stupid castle one was missing and therefore the others weren't guilty by association.
I had to vote for Tough Times, but I agree with Penny Arcade. EA kinda rocks right now (stop hatin', you know its true...played Dead Space yet?) and it sucks that they're in trouble.

How come they're were no results from last weeks poll? I know your probably busy Ross, so I'll do it for you. Ahem...
In their spot-on representation of every gamers plight at this time of year, Penny Arcade took first place in the poll.
With only 4 votes seperating second and third place, Castle Vidcons narrowly edged out Extra Life to take the silver. Congrats to our winners!
Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week! (Protip: It's best to use the comments field for that kind of stuff, or if you go via our tip line be sure to include "webcomic" in the subject or it will likely get ignored.)
