    right, this is a two parter. in part one, we'll vote on the desired punchline. in part two, we'll vote on who draws it.

    Pannel One:
    Phone Rings.
    Pannel Two:
    Garner: Hello?
    Phone: ...
    Garner: Hello??
    Phone: Hello, may I speak to the account owner-
    Pannel Three:
    Garner: Phone solicitor.
    Buzzfloyd: Are you in legal trouble again?
    Garner: I mean telemarketer.
    Buzzfloyd: Oh. I've asked them to stop calling.
    Pannel Four:
    Phone Rings
    Garner Scowls.
    Pannel Five.... YOU DECIDE! Your choices are:

    (A)
    Caption: Somewhere in India
    Ba: Dial faster!
    Phone Drone: This upsets my karma!
    Ba: The Ba does not care.

    (B)
    Caption: Somewhere in India
    Doors: Ach, I didna expect this when they said 'transfer to a new department', Jimmy!
    Cow: Mooo....?
    Doors: Ach, I miss ma sheep.

    (C)
    Caption: Somewhere in India
    Scorched looking phone drone, holding smoking phone: Ouch...
    Unscorched phone drone: You look like a saipur who just tried his first vindaloo!
    Scorched looking phone drone: *Whimper*

    Edited to be Weasle Compliant.

    Don't know what you mean by weasle compliant, but I voted anyway.

    Damn you Garner, how could you make us choose. That cruel and unusual punishment, that is.

    I voted for A, but B is soooo funny too. I think you should do a series.

    I've gone for A, but I also like B. :)

    Both A and B are funny, but I chose A. It's not fair to make us choose, though!

    I'm not going to get into the argument - but I will point out something that Grace has apparently missed and has not corrected Garner on - there is only one "n" in panel! (Garner - I think I'm owed one - your recent reference to me as "an old man" - I prefer "a man in late middle age" - I'm only 56, for gods sake!)

    I A is the Best. But the effort involved in voting is beyond me.

    sorry pixel, us young and active people on the go haven't got time for spell check.

    I prefer A.

    A,

    On account of it has Ba in it.

    I thought you had your own personal spelling/grammar checker - you married her - but that doesn't seem to have helped you find the shift key - it's Pixel with a capital P - I can get very touchy about seemingly unimportant matters! :)

    Ba has, of course, voted for A. That said, the idea of Doors suffering is also quite amusing.

    ive gone with A but still its harsh to make us choose :(

    Tephlon Active Member

    I've voted A because it was just a little bit more perfect than B.

    A, because I would like to think that no person could be as evil as a telemarketer without Ba-ish prompting.

    A has Ba, B is also good you could have more then one telemarketer, I do, frequently.

    A. I'm too hungover to read the rest...

    I like B, myself.

    I chose A. And, the board wouldn't allow to just post "A".

    I vote A, because it's EVIL!!!! :evil: :badgrin:

    Shhh, we're not supposed to talk to him about Grace. Do you see her anywhere around here? No? Because Garner shrank her and put her in with his seamonkeys, that's why. And it's hard to check spelling from a tank.

    Never underestimate a Spelling Bee (even a tiny one with a snorkel and flippers)
     
  25. Katcal

    Katcal I Aten't French !

    :D :lol:

    Looks like A's winning... Ba is so convincing as a vilain ! :D

    Thats because he is. It's not acting when it comes that naturally.

    Well, she didn't manage though, did she? So it's quite obvious that Garner didn't allow the poor little thing a snorkel and flippers!

    So we've had Band Aid, Children In Need, Red Nose Day - maybe it's time for get Grace a Snorkel and Flippers Day - or possibly one of those bottles marked "Drink me" from Alice in Wonderland to let her grow back! :)

    Okay, we'll declare "A" the obvious winner. which saddens me, as it's a recycled joke and "C" was my favorite.

    i'll update the poll to reflect artist choices soonish, but i'd like to open the floor to nominations.

    i'm currently thinking of 'phlon, doorsh, and the toastling as contendors.
