We don’t have anything better to discuss, do we?
You know the drill, choose your victor, and outline your reasoning for us all to be amazed by.
I will withhold my opinion so as not to tilt the scales early on.
Have fun!
Hulk: “Hulk Smash!”
Cecil: “Where you aware that the original line wasn’t actually “Hulk Smash,” but was actually…”
several minutes later
Hulk: “… eh…”
Cecil: “…which was first instituted in 1743 by an Italian business man named…”
several minutes later
Hulk: “…uh…”
Cecil: “…never mind the fact that as according to accepted philosophy…”
Hulk’s head explodes
Cecil win.
Result:
Cecil wins by DQ*.
*DQ-Hulk was banned by Lynn Bodoni.
Hulk no smash box office!

I’ve been following the “Batman Vs. …” threads for a while now, so I feel confident in offering the following predictions:
-Someone will ask if Cecil has time to prepare
-Someone will ask which version of the Hulk
-Someone will reference the tightly closed jar of pickles
-Batman will lose
I personally think that Cecil has a number of advantages. He is the smartest human ever. He’s never starred in a long, convoluted summer blockbuster. He could probably solve the mystery of where Hulk’s extra mass comes from and how Hulk’s pants stay on.
But on the other hand, Hulk Smash.
I don’t know. I just don’t know. Stalemate.
Can’t Cecil just kick him in the nuts and be done with it?
If the Hulk asks Cecil about the third word ending in “-gry,” Cecil will actually become madder and stronger than the Hulk, and subsequently smash him.
So you expect Cecil to get an-gry?
I don’t think I’d like him when he’s an-gry.
Cecil, being the smartest man onEarth, will know not to place himself anywhere near Bruce Banner/The Hulk. The Hulk, despite all his strength, won’t have the brainpower to figure out where Cecil is.
Cecil wins, by a technicality.
But in the meanwhile, Cecil will conclude that Hulk must be from Baltimore.
Didn’t the Hulk fight some supervillain back in the '70s who’d gotten Gamma-Rayed too, but it made him smarter instead of stronger? Had a big green head. Trapped the Hulk inside a prison of really, really tough Jell-o. I never found out how the Hulk got free because I missed the next issue.
Maybe the big green head guy was defeated by the Hulk, moved to Chicago in 1973, started writing a column for the Reader…
Cecil is the Leader? The Leader works for the Reader?
(And if you thought he looked weird in the '70’s, you should see the late-80’s Todd McFarlane version.)
Yeah! the Leader! That’s it, thanks!
[sub]So, how did the Hulk escape from that Jell-O? I’ve been wondering since 1972…[/sub]
the leader is good the leader is great we surr… oh wait wrong show.
The hulk beat the crap out of 3 mutant dogs, in a comical fashion, so i would at least want him to win.
Heh heh. 
“Fighting Ignorance Since 1973”
“Too Busy Fighting The Hulk In 1972”.
Oh, and Ukulele Ike, it looks like a woman helped the Green Meanie escape way back when. At least, I mean, according to this page.
Of course, in the same book, he gets trapped again in the same type of prison. He’s welcome to my three card monte table any time.
Speaking of which, make sure your popup stoppers are in good working order before visiting the link above.
It’s only two, but one was Gator.
I picture Cecil and the Hulk having less of a fight than a discussion, which eventually results in Ol’ Greenskin paying a visit to some publishers to discuss the accounting on that last book.
Well, Cecil is smart enough not to anger the Hulk, and instead would calm him down, until he turned back into Bruce Banner. Then Cecil could shoot him really fast, before he can get angry again.
Oooooh… my bad. I use Opera as a web browser, so all pop-ups have been disabled; I forgot to check this time before misleading the masses.
Get out the wet noodles. My backside is ready.
Thanks, 2trew! (For the warning, not the noodling.)
