Heh heh, yeah, that's the one they had up for voting. See, they're not too bad... just confusing. And targeting an incredibly SMALL demographic.

It's also stolen, I believe.

Aw, man. When ya gotta steal a joke just to make sense, that's pretty bad. If they had a few more quality strips I could believe they came upon the joke on their own (It does happen) - but they don't make it easy to have faith in them.

The Battle is working again and, hey:
ThatGuy vs Sexy Attack of the Clones: 0 to 0 Tied

Which is cool - except Lego doesn't seem to be IN the latest battle... it says he's active, but it doesn't say he's awaiting an opponent... they're glitchy over there.

Anyone notice "Sexy Attack of the Clones" lost without losing, much like Go For it! ?

I found out Here. Someone said it was just cause there was an odd number of strips or something. I don't really consider an excuse like that acceptable, because Lego's is the most popular strip running at the moment :/

It still says he's 'active'... not retired yet - so maybe he'll be in the next round?

Yeah, that happened to me a couple times last time I was up. He'll probably appear next round. In the meantime, I'm whuppin some double submission banana stomach arse.

Different circumstances. If his comic goes up but a different one's image is displayed instead of his, then he lost like mine did.

You guys probably didn't want to hear this, but just so you're aware:

Anyone using IE7 is probably having major issues with the WCB website. I had to switch to Firefox in order to get my votes counted accurately, because it would show me one set of comics, and then after I clicked the one I wanted, it would tell me I had voted for a comic in a different battle entirely.

Not really, we'd be upset if a browser other than IE was breaking. But since it's IE7 it's just a minor heads up for us.

I don't know about you, but I appreciate all the votes I get no matter their browser preference.

I'm hoping it's something that will be worked out by the time IE7 is official. I've already informed the site owner about it, but he didn't really know what to do about it.

Maybe that's why my comic hasn't shown up yet. Damn internet cafes.

My comic has been awaiting an opponent for 2 weeks now *shrugs*. Also there's only 4 comics up battling today.

So... have most of the winners of the battles from two (three?) days ago been discontinued? I can't find any mention of that in the forums (just complaints about only having two battles yesterday, and the shut-down days from before that).

At least, the only one I can find that was battling on the 28th, but not the 29th, is the "Talking Ties" one from Great White Buffalo...
