Round 2: Vargas Prime vs Butler

Vargas Prime: Page 1, Page 2, Epilogue

Butler:
I've done it!

Vargas Prime's empire - his chain of galleries, his animation company (Vargasoft), his engagement to Anne Hathaway - all gone, wiped from reality by the Realignment Engine that I built with own two hands.

Just one problem: The engine can't work on just one person - it has to change the whole world, the whole universe, save for a small bubble of protection around the person operating it - and some imperfect natural shielding on the Isle of Man, where Twitter keep one of their servers.

So, to all of you, it must look like Vargas Prime has always been just an ordinary guy who arts on the internet, and was never one of the most powerful men on the planet, described by Time magazine as "so talented that the dude's shits are post-modern masterpieces."

But the twitter documents the whole process, I mean I know that's hardly conclusive but... you still believe me... right?

Right?

    On one hand, I must applaud Butler for the tremendous amount of effort he puts into his battles and on the other I do like me some good arts.

    I must ponder this decision.

    But wait, there is no poll. My choice has been made for me.

    Edit: In the end I must salute my previous opponent and vote for him as is custom.

    Hahaha, Butler, that was great!

    Vargas, yours was very pretty, and working in the Munkus line was brilliant, it's a shame you didn't get time to finish it

    I think I'm going to have to vote for Butler though for keeping up the Twitter thing all week and paying it off brilliantly

    I would definitely vote Vargas if he had finished the colors

    The tiny bit of extra polish would be just enough to beat Butler's

    Some people attack people through pictures, others through animation, and other people even use live action TV.

    Butler uses the unification equation guys.

    I was just watching a Nova episode about the singer Mark Everett tracking down the friends of his father Hugh Everett, who created the concept of parallel universes in the late 1950's.

    So apparently, yes, somewhere else I do love Twitter.

    Butlers entry had suspense, and although Vargas's comic was funny as hell, I've been following along on twitter since a few days ago.

    Butler gets an +A for creative use of foreshadowing

    I want to vote for Faricazy for this post.

    But I voted for Butler.
