Today, we present the first of three HONORABLE MENTIONS!
Sylvan Migdal did a very good job with one of the few entries that picked a more modern strip. (Seems most were obssessed with my older, more embarrassingly drawn strips). Great job with Teri and the clouds, methinks. Sylvan used to draw a strip called Spork (presumably not to be confused with Sporkman), but now seems to have switched to A God's Life. His entry:

COMIC TRANSCRIPTION:

FOUR YEARS OF NUKEES:
A two-week<
strike> day retrospectacle.
Spring '97: All unanimously agree that the best strip ever is #5, predicting "migrant engineering labor" in 2001. Thus, Nukees reaches its peak in its second week and begins its downhill decline.
Employer: Okay, I need two Ph.D's and a master's of science for one day of Fortran coding!

Fall '97: Gav invents a "virtual pet," Teri, which gets lost on the Internet, threatening the destruction of civilization. Yes, THAT tired old plotline....
Teri: "Anything is better than living in a calculator."

Spring '98: Danny invents a 20-ton robot ant, which Gav promptly steals, thus setting the comfortable, wacky rut in which all subsequent strips would languish.
Suzy Gee: Maybe Danny could help you.
Gav: That layabout? Get serious, Suzy!

Ma'at: Fall '98: Teri takes over the ant and attacks Gav. Hilarity ensues. Who didn't see THAT coming?
Jesus
Darren: Do we have a PROBLEM wi--
Ma'at: ... with my residuals? Glad you brought it up!
Jesus
Darren: Nevermind. Carry on.
