Well WAH fans, the votes have been counted, and I’m sad to report that we did not make it past the TGT Tournament 3 semi-finals. It was close. Very close. I think we only lost by 30 million votes, give or take a billion.
Paul and I sincerely appreciate all of you who voted for us. You should raise your head high and proud, secure in the knowledge that you put up a valiant effort and chose the better candidate. However, it was just not meant to be. Perhaps we should have headed the words of the profound singer/songwriter Beck, who put it so eloquently in one of his lesser-known songs:
There is no rhyme or reason,
Everything is but a reflex,
Even Woody must sometimes lose,
To a woman known as ‘Alex.’
Speaking of the winner, Alex was kind enough to draw the fourth panel in today’s strip. It was a little difficult for her to illustrate while taking a victory lap around Columbus, but she managed to pull it off nicely.
If you’ve got a hankering to continue voting for someone, even though it won’t be for us, the TGT Tournament finals are running all this week.
Again, thanks for voting for us.
- Ben
My sincerest condolences. To help ease your pain, I’m getting drunk right now.

Yeah! Do I get a prize? Oh, wait, I already got a prize… being drunk before 9.

This is awesome. Totally unexpected.

Can you leave them out just a bit longer?
