The sixth day of our March Madness tourney, called The Tweet Off, wrapped, and with it the close of the Sweet 16. We’re figuring out who the best comic person is on Twitter, and we’re going to have the highly scientific method of ranking our 32 favorites by Twitter followers, and then having you the reader vote alongside both of us to decide each winner. Both Matt and David will be voting as well, with each day’s winners being announced the next day. The winner gets our love and adoration, and gets to move on to the next round. Lucky them.
Later today brings the ENTIRE Elite 8. Get your vote on to decide our Final Four.
