I wanted to be sure everyone gets a chance to show off all of their entries for Friday Night Fights 2 (vote on the currently active tournament here), including those who do not advance in the tournament each week. So I am happy to present the six “Sheriff of Nottingham” entries that did not make the cut-off in the Play-In All-Against-All Cage Match last week in another open field! The person whose entry gets the most votes will win either any item they like, to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 version.
Without further ado, the contestants for the Consolation Round (Friar Tuck edition) are:
No story provided.

The votes are in, and the seeds are seeded! Congratulations to the top 16 vote-getters in the Play-In Cage Match:
Kyle, Rancid, Haxxx, AJW, Alphaalpharomeo, and Danny Beaty fought the good fight, but unfortunately did not make the 16-team cutoff. However, they WILL participate each week in an all-against-all consolation bracket for that week’s characters, so you’ll still get to see their creations, and they’ll still have a chance to win something each time out. Those who are eliminated each week will join the consolation pool as well. I’ll post that round in a few hours.
For those who advance, each of the Final Four teams will receive a prize, while the first runner-up also gets a black and white character sketch, and the winner a color sketch.
And now, for the first time anywhere, your Friday Night Fights 2 Bracket!

(From “Dynamic Comics” number 1, 1941. I couldn’t think of a funny headline, it just struck me as a bizarre panel. I don’t usually think of “ha ha ha” as either insane or gurgling, or “WHEEEE” as unearthly.)

Here’s a quick tip if you’re considering going into the super-heroing business: Unless your opponent is The Human Casserole, no one is afraid of oven mitts. Someone should clue Bantam in to that keen insight:
Also, “yellow-bellied” is not meant as a compliment, so you should avoid making your costume literally give you a yellow belly. Just pick up the phone and call Yosemite Sam if you’re unsure how he means it.
Finally, I’m sure we’re all very impressed that you were able to steal some headgear from the local boxing gym to finish out your costume, but next time, don’t staple red poster board to it. That’s not what your mom meant when she told you to “comb” your hair before leaving the house.
In fact, I’ll go a step further and encourage you to rethink the entire “I’m a big chicken!” motif completely. It sends the wrong message to your inevitable opponents (“Hey Stilt Man, want to go fight a big chicken?” “Sign me up!”).
Besides, the timer just rang, and I need those oven mitts back.

Full disclosure time: I’m actually in Arizona and have been for a couple of days, taking a sick donkey to the vet. Thus my posting schedule has been a bit messed up, and I apologize for that.
The long and short of it is that I am going to be driving nine hours towing a trailer today, so I won’t be able to do Open Critique Day as planned; I’ll be moving that to Saturday in all likelihood.
In a few minutes I’ll be putting up a Bad Costume post that should have gone up yesterday, which got bumped because I missed Poll Position Tuesday due to the drive.
One day I’ll get back on schedule and then you’ll all be sorry!
Also, don’t forget you only have till midnight tonight to vote on who should advance in Friday Night Fights!
