The dude who does Schlock Mercenary wrote:First: It has come to my attention that Schlock Mercenary is one of 22 webcomics that some columnists over at the Washington Post are letting you vote on (voting closes Wednesday.) The winner gets riches and fame, plus the admiration of the entire world as the Washington Post sponsors a ticker-tape parade in honor of the best webcomic of the decade. I guess that falls under “fame,” too. Also, “wishful thinking.” As you well know there can be no ticker-tape for webcomic heroes because ticker-tape is from the era of print, and webcomics mean Print is Dead.
(See what I did there? HUMOROUS IRONY. See also “Trolling for Ted Rall.”)
Anyway, there are comics there you probably want to vote for. Pick only one. The stakes here are incredibly low, so we can all expect the competition to be legendarily cutthroat, complete with ballot-stuffing, name-calling, and DDoS attacks on the Post. But me expecting that behavior and me encouraging it are two different animals. Play nice. There’s a third animal here — my pit-bull*. He has rabies, H1N1, and no leash.

Now, go vote! For your favorite! Because, my pet has H1Z1 and wings from drinking too much Red Bull.
