Comics featuring nurses (I'm pretty sure GFT has some nice covers...no idea if there are any on the inside though lol )
Covers where someone desperately needs a nurse (like Carl missing an eye)

Thanks for the great prize donations guys. If anyone is planning to donate, please do it soon.

 

Rather than have the prize selection round taking a week like last year :cry: I'd appreciate a list of everyone's top 10 to 20 picks. If I don't have your list and you don't pick within a reasonable period of time (less than an hour) you'll be awarded a pick at random.

PRIZE PICKING ORDER

 

Order is determined by Order eliminated in the tournament (unless you're LordRahl).

For example: If you were eliminated in the FINAL FOUR, then your Final Standing is sorted against the other Final Four contestants. (Final standings are how many games you won added to your SEEDING ROUND.)

 

If you did not participate in the SEEDING ROUND, you are automatically dropped to last in that round.

 

TIES are broken by the earliest Bullseye in the SEEDING ROUND. In case of a further tie, the SECOND Earliest Bullseye is counted.

 

I'm not done yet... but let's get this show started...

Night nurse comics

Covers where someone desperately needs a nurse (like Carl missing an eye)
