[bo_puppet]

It's been another great year! My sincere thanks to all participating artists!

• 2) 236 by Kelly MacAvaney

• 3) 239 by John Deberge

• 4) 265 by David Flett

• 5) 257 by Jerel Dye

1) I Only Am Escaped Alone To Tell Thee

2) The Music Of Erich Zann

3) The Other Lila

4) The Wreck Of The Charles Dexter Ward Pt. 1

5) Killing The Morrow

[PureChance]

Well, here are my nominations after much anguish, in chronological rather than favourite order though. I can't manage favourite yet.

234 - Jagganath by Bill Halliar

238 - From the Lost Diary of TreeFrog7 by Caroline Parkinson

247 - How I Crippled a World for Just 0.01 Cents by Bo Kaier

255 - The Wreck of the Charles Dexter Ward pt 1 by Bo Kaier

268 - I Only Am Escaped Alone to Tell Thee by Steve Santiago

[Crimsonshark]

1) 234 Jagannath by Bill Hallian

2) 243 The Other Lila by Richard K Green

3) 253 Maybe the Stars by Steve Santiago

4) 256 Roanoke, Nevada by Spencer Bingham

5) 266 Little Grace of the House of Death by Caroline Parkinson

[Algernon Sydney is Dead]

252 - Happy frog boots really sell it.

248 - So cute, although I do like my version better:

Cockroach hat-r.jpg (39.97 KiB) Viewed 12696 times

264 - Ape-like shadow drinkers, and use of color, help tell the tale and lampoon bar fantasies.

B-sides 17 - Perfect skewering, and the crack-smoking monkey is the master stroke (or, er... master mouse pull?).

266 - Surreal tone, where everything is just a bit off. Fit well with the story.
