245 "we broke haley"

[Twilight Jack]

I'm conflicted between 242, for the really cool layout and Cerebus reference, and 244, for Belkar's harassment of Girl!Roy.

Arrrrrrrrrrgggggggg!!!

Okay, make it 244 for Belkar trumping Roy's Trouser Titan reference with his own Rod of Lordly Might.

[Nazzo, the 102nd]

No question. 244.

[Eriol]

244. Belkar screwing with Roy. Priceless.

[Lòkki Gallansbayne]

242 and 244 are great, but I think I'm going to give it to 241 just because I love moments like that. Just when it looks like the heroes finally have it all under control, something small happens all of a sudden that screws everything up. Love it.

So yeah, I vote 241.

[Icewalker]

244.

So wrong. Best followed up by Belkar's later statement "I took Craft: (Disturbing mental image) as my feat last level."

[GrayMatter]

244.

For "I get to tell 'im!", and "Ooo, me, let me!".

Not to mention "Was that a yes?" and all of the other classic Belkarisms in there.

[Reigheena]

242. Awesome climax.

[Jalor]

244. Belkar was hilarious in that one.

[David Argall]

Not the best 5 and the winner will likely lose in the next round, but I think I will go with 244.

[Setra]

244

I don't like Belkar much but that was just funny.

[Gol_Stoan]

244 Definately.

That is so wrong...

Just be happy 'e don't be usin' this much energy messing wit' either o' us

[BobTheDog]

244.

That is so wrong...

Me too. I vote for 241 because of the comedic end touch.

There's no need for a poll.

244

[den452001]

242

I like because all the trying to escape that part rocks!!

[Jawajoey]

243. Easily.

But I know 244 is going to win because everyone goes nuts for the Belkar moments. *sigh*

[phobiandarkmoon]

244 for me

[416365416c]

243.

As I prefer rules jokes to 'cheesy lines' I find that 243 is the funniest of these five.

[Nazzo, the 102nd]

I have been observing this phenomenon for a few weeks.

Whenever a new poll is setup, it's an instant success. A lot of posts and stuff, but then comes the new comic, and nobody remember my little Awards again.

This is not because the Awards are a big waste of time (which I think it's not, of course), but because The Giant manages to craft strips so amazingly that everyone forgets every other thing in the whole site and go talk about it.

On a little off-topic note, I liked Miko died. Am I morbid?

[Scarab83]

244, no contest. Belkar is too awesome.

(I'm glad Miko died too.)

[Tredrick]

244 does not have enough votes. Now it has one more.

[Quietus]

Add another for 244.

[Rhyeira]

I'll stick with those two people who voted for 243... I just love the first few panels (and yay for minority opinions).

[Tower]

Have to go 244.
The others are good, but the number of jokes outweigh the others

[squidthingy]

243

flaws in the D&D rules is funnier to me than animated sexual induendos

[KSA]

I'll go 244, though the others were very good, especially 243.

[Kgw]

I vote for 244

[ThorFluff]

244!--------
