Regarding my Kickstarter project:
My current task is to select the 40 Mimi & Eunice IP cartoons the minibook will contain. You can sift through the whole IP category here. My current list is below, but it can change. If there are any real winners that aren’t on this list, please let me know by posting its URL in the comments. And please let me know what losers are on my list I should drop, to make room for better ones. Thanks!

I don’t really get #2 — probably just me! LOL
It took me a couple of goes – the joke is, Mimi and Eunice would only get a nickel for every time somebody said that if the person had to pay them the nickel, but if you had to pay a nickel to say “Copyright is (C)ensorship” would you be willing to?
Ohhhhh! Thanks, Charlie. Yeah, that one might be a tad obscure.
Maybe it should be “If I got a nickel” instead of “If I had a nickel” ?
(“Had/has” would imply that Eunice is broke, and hence ppl would stop saying it)
Here’s a spreadsheet that you can use to rate them :

I hope you are printing the titles and occasional notes as well, as they help in understanding context. For example, without reading the “watermark” title, I didn’t get the “water-marked” cake joke in

Thanks suede! That’s very helpful.
I’m just going to leave out the “Watermark” one, because there’s no room for titles.
You can probably use the flattr numbers for ranking, as well as comment-count for ranking.
The watermark strip is genius and got 10 flattr and 8 comments. I really think you should include it.
Maybe I’m just dense. If you just print the word “watermark” somewhere or replace peed with “watermarked”, it might be easier for dense ppl like me.
Ooooh! I thought for a brief second that they were flipbooks!
The Hare-Krishnas have reprinted several of your comics. You can probably find out which ones they like pretty easily, since it looks like they’re hotlinking them.
