The Sticks Awards are given to the best strips of all times, chosen by the polls here in the Playground. Read the The Sticks Awards Results Compilation thread for more details.
To vote, simply post your favorite strip of the current 5 on the thread. You have 3 days to do it.
The poll will close on June 14, 5:00 PM forum default time.

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

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

Thank you kpenguin for the lovely avatar, Recaiden for my dolly, and Alleine for this:
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?
I'll go 244, though the others were very good, especially 243.
