    Lissitzky, I guess. They're hard to compare, though.

    Groan. I like these two so much for such different reasons. This match-up really is like apples and oranges to me. They're both tasty! The Lissitzky... for now...

    This is a killer. And, yes, it's kind of cool they're even from the same planet. One wants to throw a dinner party, just to have them sit next to each other. I have to go with El Lissitzky. (I have a hard time leaving off his first name, since for decades I always heard it together, and still tend to think of him as, you know, something like "El Toro" or "El Loco." Yes, despite the salient Russianitude.)

    Tough and weird one. I'll say (flips coin) Lissitzky.

    I'm not always pro-Adams, and I do like the Lissitzky, but today it's Adams.

    After a tough contest, Lissitzky piled up some votes towards the end to claim victory with 9 votes against 6. Mr. Adams will have to see if he can stay alive in the Left Bracket.

    There's a school of thought that holds they aren't mutually exclusive...
