Tournament 12 Hall of Fame

The Tournament 12 Hall of Fame lists all the past winners of Tournament 12 of the Write Your Own Pits Competition. This story begins in Round 1 with Burger Girl taking Herman out on their second date and continues on into Tournament 13... This Tournament was won by Brian, who I must say, would probably be the most consistent punchline and caption writer in The Pits and Twist (but not the most prolific, showing just how funny he is!). See how many points the finalists accrued in the Points Board.

Round 1

17 February 98
268 entries

Sev Note: I was very tempted to go for Burger Girl's flat with the female versions of Wayne and Lance, but decided that was just a little too cliche. Instead I decided Herman needed to get some fresh air and get out for a change in this sitcom-style reunion story (note - I sneaked in the hand and ring into the comic strip also to match the punchline).

Winner: flametop- 6 Points

Round 3

3 March 98

Sev Note: In case you didn't notice, Scurvy from The Sev Files and Ten out of Ten from Sev Trek drop by for cameos in this strip. And no, the third girl wasn't meant to be Cher.

Round 4

10 March 98
