- For. I lol, and got caught up in the tale of the search. A couple of uneven places but overall a good concept and fine illustrations. And when I was younger I too had a lucky penny, so a sentimental vote too. Aleister 11:48 New Years Eve MMX

- For. For the reason that was posted on my talk. Poiz,Teh zork master!!!! 23:43, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
- Only just for. Obvious, image driven humour. Normally would vote against, but there has been effort and some talent behind this, and I did giggle once or twice. Given that it is a picture book it gets a bit more leeway from me, but it was close run race. Nominally Humane! some time Saturday, 07:05, Jan 8 2011 UTC
- For. Took me a long time to decide on this one but overall I think a 'soft' yes' is in order. RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 00:08, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

- For. I thought about nomming it some time ago, and it has only improved since then. Simsilikesims 06:35, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
- For. This has more depth to it than it first seems. I consider it very featureworthy and don't really get all the criticism :/ -- 79.191.40.217 09:23, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

- It's not bad. I agree with the abstainers, but I also think the jokes are all a bit obvious. Sorry Magic, but it looks like this'll get featured anyway, despite my vote, so don't worry about it. --Black Flamingo 17:01, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
Against. Actually, adding everything up, I just really don't see this as a feature. At very least fix the title first, please - the second part is not only pointless (wouldn't go in an actual title), but grammatically unsound. The first part should just sum it up. Make it more childish, perhaps? 1234 ~ Major Pleb Dame Lyrithya • Athyria • Isarra • Haydrahlienne - 'Destroyer of the Wiki' - MUN OUN CUN KUN DUN GUN *shifty eyes* (zombiebaron) • (dr. skullthumper) • (roman dog bird) • (nachlader) • (frosty) • (more zombiebaron) • (talk) • (stalk) • (block) • (log) • (list) • WotM • UotM • RotM • PotM • UGotM x4 • SotM • FFS • NOM • MotM • BFF x2 •

- Against. Wow, that was obvious, and just didn't make me laugh. Well done pictures, though. Hum. --UU - natter 13:31, Jan 4

- Against slightly. Well, the pictures are good, but this just isn't funny. It's kind of tedious to be honest. Sorry, -- Sir SF13 (Talk) GUN WotM RotM FBotM VFH SK Maj. ΥΣΣ 07:41 EST 15 JAN 2011
- Against. Per what they said. ChiefjusticePS2 20:21, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
- Slightly Against.I can see how this would be funny for most people, but to me, the jokes were expected and I didn't get as much joy as I thought I would from reading this. Sorry, although I must admit there were some top notch pictures in there. Sir Oliphaunte (განხილვა) 20:25, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

- I just got it proofread. --
Magic Snow man ☃ 05:09, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Abstain. It's cute, fairly well assembled now, but also still somewhat inconsistent with itself and just the sort of thing that I apparently cannot find funny. 1234 ~ 06:33, 1 January 2011
- Comment. I agree with Lyrithya. The pages in themselves are well made, but on the whole, the story doesn't work for me.
For instance, page 5 is completely dispensable for the plot. (Changed my mind. Page 5 is no more dispensable to the plot than page 3, because in the end, it doesn't make any difference except that it was a "nice" experience. This does not apply to page 4, though.) Well, if you count the children being raped and killed as part of the plot. But since I guess the whole thing is supposed to be about how "nice" the city walk is, I think these events qualify as parts of the plot. Yes, there's the joke with money on page 5, but that doesn't make page 5 essential to the story imo. And about page 2: I think what doesn't fit with the rest of the article about this page is the narrator's changing the radio from a "nice" tune (Highway to hell, Fuck her gently) to something really nice (I love you...). In all the other pages (and in the last image on page 2), the perception of "nice" is made out in an ironic way (the nice sex offender, killer, ...), but with the tune changing on page two, this isn't the case. This is an inconsistency in the perspective of the narrator, and therefore, the page doesn't really go together with the rest of the story. But I like the idea of the story. Schamschi
- Comment. I'm almost inclined to shift to against simply for the blatant whoring - going around begging people to vote for just so he'll get an article featured and asking for the for as a favour or for the sake of some organisation, not just if it is a good article... it's too much. 1234 ~ Major Pleb Sir Lyrithya • Athyria • Isarra • Haydrahlienne - 'Destroyer of the Wiki' - MUN OUN CUN KUN DUN GUN *shifty eyes* (zombiebaron) • (dr. skullthumper) • (roman dog bird) • (nachlader) • (frosty) • (more zombiebaron) • (talk) • (stalk) • (block) • (log) • (list) • WotM • UotM • RotM • PotM • UGotM x4 • SotM • FFS • NOM • MotM • BFF x2 •

- Comment. I apologize for all the whoring. I actuall feel kinda bad about it. I didn't mean to do it to such an extent. I really don't know how to express how apologetic I really am. But again, I really am sorry. Just one thing though, the thing about doing it for a favour for the Grue Army, that was just a joke. I really didn't mean to have him vote for it just for the Grue Army. And like I said: I never ment for anyone to vote For. it without actually liking it. Again, sorry. -- 17:54, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
- Comment. I was joking about that. Or not... Either way, you'll have been more productive then me. Revolutionary, Anti-Bensonist, and TYATU Boss

- Comment. I know, which is why I thought it was implied I was joking with Poiz. Anyway, no harm done (I hope). -- 22:00, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
- Comment. Ok everybody, I changed some stuff about this. So if you want to read it again be my guest. -- 04:47, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
- Due to several people mercilessly voting "Against" of late, I'm afraid this may end up becoming a Quasi-feature. --Scofield 09:02, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
- At one point it was ahead 11-0! Aleister 9:58 24-1-'11
- Yes, at one point it was. *Sigh* So how do you get something Quasi-featured? Who could I ask? Where is the vote? -- 14:37, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
- Just wait till its taken off VFH, the admin who closes the vote will decide. Also, it needs to score at least 50% of the top scoring article in the queue. --Scofield 16:11, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, I knew about the 50% thing. Thanks. -- 16:15, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
- Hey, does anyone know what the hell happens to Quasi-featured articles? Is that just a title or does something actually happen to them? -- 16:20, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
- They get a template. But this may actually get a feature... which gets a template and some other stuff. 1234 ~ 02:41, 29 January 2011
- Yeah, I knew about the template, I just wanted to know if it's more then just a title. I guess not. Anyway, I think any time I start thinking this might get featured, there is a flood of against votes. Fingers crossed. -- 02:47, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
- *votes against* 1234 ~ 03:08, 29 January 2011
- *Slaps Lyrithya* -- 03:16, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
