Ms. /co/ 2020

Ms. /co/ 2020 was the third edition of Ms. /co/, an annual female character popularity contest for Western comics and animated media. It was held in 4chan's /co/ - Comics & Cartoons board, and ran from September 11 to 21.

In contrast to the 2019 contest, 2020 was highlighted by the early collapse of several high-seeded girls, and featured a literal dinosaur who performed arguably one of the most memorable tournament runs to date.

The final match was contested by 21st seed Dr. Mrs. The Monarch from Venture Bros. and 10th seed Queen Tyr'ahnee from Duck Dodgers. It ended with Mrs. Monarch securing the championship over the Martian Queen with a vote tally of 450-352.
