Photoshopped MTYT. I love it. I will endeavor to add something and kick yer booty sometime soon. Sean: A word-only version... veerrrry interesting. It's kinda like "Haiku meets comic books." Lots of fun for those of us in the Puns-R-Us fan club. Cool idea. Justin: I just checked out Bayoubattle… how excellent! Photoshopped MTYT. I love it.

We don't have the benefit of crayons or placemats, but it's been going on for four days. Anyhow, thanks for some great fun. My wife is pregnant with our first child and I can't wait to introduce him/her to this game.

Anyhow, thanks for some great fun. My wife is pregnant with our first child and I can’t wait to introduce him/her to this game.

I recently ran across thesuperest.com on MeFi, and loved it so much we started a home game on the fridge. So many of my non-local friends wanted in, that we took it to the web. Many of us are musicians, i.e. we can't draw, but that hasn't stopped us yet. We've used Photoshop and ComicLife to get around it. Do stop by and check us out - and feel free to submit; we'd love a post from you. Hopefully this will spiral out of control. Many thanks again to the progenitor of "My Team, Your Team" - perhaps the greatest game ever. Happy Battling. Apparently, we had the same idea.

So, Andy, do you know Kevin and Matthew in real life, or did they take MTYT to the next level solely from this blog? Very cool, either way. On the subject of online battles, I just came across something called <a href="http://layertennis.com/" rel="nofollow">Layer Tennis</a>. It's a real-time photoshop "tennis" match, where competing artists volley a picture back and forth trying to top each other with their creations. There's live color commentary and forum chatter. Tune in this coming Friday for a special Halloween match. (Incidentally, I have no vested interest in any of this. I only came across it 'cause Matthew Baldwin, author of <a href="http://www.defectiveyeti.com/" rel="nofollow">Defective Yeti, one of the humor blogs I've bookmarked, will be doing the color commentary this Friday.)</a> Wow!
