**DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS**

**Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer,** to get the most people matching you. Only answers that are “serious” will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.

Right now, the mods are having difficulties changing thread titles. I’m sorry if you come in to a Feud that is already over.

Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -_and would like me to score them_- PM me and I’ll get you on The List.

_ **FORMATTING OF ANSWERS IS IMPORTANT!** _

**Write your answers like this** ; Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks.  
JUST LIKE THIS:

**1. answer \<\<—There is a space after the period!  
2. response  
3. rejoinder**

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at **4:00 PM Central** on Tuesday, 9/23/08 whichever comes first.

Good luck!

1. Name one of Calvin’s inventions made out of a cardboard box.
2. Other than Opus, name a Bloom County character.
3. Other than a cow, name an animal that was often featured in The Far Side.
4. Name a popular Web comic strip.
5. Name a comic strip that was popular before 1950.
6. Other than a Brown or a Van Pelt, name a Peanuts kid.
7. Name a “soap opera” comic strip.
8. Name one of the repeating “icons” in Bizarro.
9. Name a retired comic strip that you wish would come back.
10. Other than Snoopy, name a comic strip dog.

11. Considering that I love webcomics, I had a surprisingly hard time coming up with one for this…but it’s just such a fragmented community… Since GG always gets named in the webcomic threads, I figured it’s got enough recognition here to be a good choice.

12. I had never noticed the icons before, so I looked through a bunch of Bizarro strips to see them…it was worth the effort.

13. Of Mother Goose and…

**Scarlett67** , never having seen, nor heard of, the strip in question - I did a quick [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizarro_(comic_strip)) look up, and went with what I could glean from that. I knew I was punting, so if I get no matches, oh well.

Now that I think about it The Goddamn George Liquor Program is a web toon, not a web strip.

So close! Ah well, a little surrealism is good now and then. 🙂

(Check out the second sentence of the second paragraph on Wikipedia ["Most Bizarro cartoons . . . "] for examples of what I was looking for.)
