Hey, how come no categorie for Comic Panels?
Why can't Speed Bump, Bizarro, etc. be considered?

@JstreetNW:
Both "Speed Bump" and "Bizarro" were eligible -- and received some votes -- for Best Print Comic.

Hi there: I voted for favorite print comic OK. Then I viewed all the web comics using the links you posted above. Some of the sites were a real slog of popup ads and some of the archives don't work so well. Anyway, when I was trying to view Penny Arcade I clicked by mistake on a link and after closing all the popups I ended up with my display theme being changed (wierd!). So I changed it back but when I went to vote for my favorite web comic (Pighorn) I couldn't because somehow it had already recorded my "vote" but I don't know for which one. I'm guessing it was Jesus and Mo - which is one of the worst you have up for consideration and yet it has the highest number of votes by far. For what it's worth I did like Pighorn and xkcd in that order.
