Metapost: EMERGENCY MID-VACATION POST: Please vote early and often in the Worthy Awards!

Comics Curmudgeon readers! Do you love this blog and yearn for a novel written by its creator? Well, good news: Josh Fruhlinger's The Enthusiast is that novel! It's even about newspaper comic strips, partly. Check it out!

Folks, it’s the end of the year and faithful reader Wanders has once again put together the best of Mary Worth for your consideration for the Worthy Awards! You have the opportunity to vote in such important categories as Outstanding Performance By An Inconsequential Character, Best Prop, Panel of the Year, and, of course, the most highly anticipated category, Outstanding Floating Head. Make democracy meaningful by weighing in!
