Look at that, I got nominated! Now, go finalize it!

(I realize I have no chance next to Lackadaisy but let's try anyway!)

Voted for Housepets. I predict glorious victory.

...

Unless your fans let you down. Which we would never intentionally do.

Is...is it a bad thing that I've never heard of Lackadaisy until now?

Looks interesting though, I always love finding new webcomics to look at.

Still, since you're the only choice I know, you win by default ;P

EDIT: And "There She Is!" better FREAKIN' WIN!

I cried tears of manly happiness at the end.

Exagerated, sure, but I nearly tore up in tears! It was just so awesome. Shame it's over though.

i agree with the "awesome" thing, but not the "shame its over" thing.
i'd rather have a really short and awesome series then have a awesome start
and then thin out and cut out in the middle of the story.

If you really want to draw attention to this, you should post it on the front page where more people will see it.

(On an unrelated note, can you relax the filesize limits for avatars? It's hard to cram almost anything into 6 KB.)

^Agreed.

Also- you say your not going to win... but atleast your optimistic about it.

There she is must win or else I will be so upset you don't even know U:

Those are some pretty big comics there, with pretty big fanbases.
I'm nervous seeing stuff like Lackadaisy up there, it's making it harder than it should to vote.
Lul@Best Game category. The games they have in there, just... Huhuhuhu, anyway.
I still think Housepets has a fairly good chance (I mean, it was popular enough to get nominated after all) but I wouldn't be all that surprised if it was boxed out by other, larger comics.

Games in the anthro category are rather sparse. Though now, I'm wondering why Ratchet and Clank Search for Booty wasn't on the recommended list; the scores for that were at least decent . . .

Oh lawdy lawd. So in order for it to actually fit in that catagory it has to fit inside the catagory of "anthro" It has to stand on 2 feet with fur? I would of loved to see nintendogs or maybe something that wasn't so meh-ish.

Well still, with everyone ignoring games from other countries. There are far better games out there, that's far more suitable for their standards, than has been translated for English. I mean, TWO sonic games? Spore? Kung Fu Panda!? U:
Either way this is totally something to get like that over, seriously. It doesn't affect me. U:

This may not be true, but I've found that what people usually refer to as anthropomorphism is really more suited to be called zoomorphism. It's more humanoid characters with animalistic features than animal characters with humanoid features. So something like UMA... yeah, chances are you'll see more human-with-fur things than animals-that-can-talk things. Though, Nintendogs and the like doesn't really count, since they're supposed to be proper animals, without human features, so they're not really anthro.
