Annoying enthusiasm aside, second and third place went to the usual suspects Penny Arcade and VG Cats, respectively.

We had an issue with this week's webcomic wrapup and the inclusion of the None of the Above category. For the first 2,300 votes, "None of the Above" was at 8%. Then, from 2,300 to 2,700, the number of votes for None of the Above tripled, rendering the choice over 20%.

We'll keep it going, regardless of a statistical anomaly/outside interference.
