Innerestin' an' thought-provokin' set of options, Mr. Houk. I made my pick based on potential for future developments (and my own opinion that my pick led to or affected some of the other developments you listed).

You folks deserve a pat on the back for the great polls each week.

I submit a favorite moment of the year: a lot less Pintsize! The little man had little impact on stories, I thought he was featured much less than most years if not the least featured of all years...and it was still a great year for stories and comedy and drama.

Go Marigold.
Now all you need to do is give your friend Momo some more apologies, and thank her for helping to heal you.
I think... while she'll appreciate the first a lot on a personal level, the second will make her heart sing.

OK, so she doesn't actually have an organ that pumps blood, and those organs don't actually vocalise, but those are trivialities. Her heart will sing.

While there wasn't an "All of the above" option (damn you Jeph, QC and the brilliance that all that entails...), I went with the Deathmřle option. Pretty much because it was a HUGE leap into the unknown for Jeph, and subsequently blowing all his expectations away (and on a selfish level, I was a backer, so I get some stuff from it as well).

On comic: Oh Marigold, now she knows how an Internal Server Error feels like.

She'd have MP3 support, at least. With 256kbps bitrate. Her heart would sing with full orchestral backing.

As much as a band geek I am that I wanted to select Marten's 8-string I think the new format was a shock to me: it was like the entire cast moved to a new monochromatic neighborhood.

That's it, you two crazy kids. Just jump right in.

Oh dear, is that your idea of a ships sailing. So violent.

In my mind, there are two sail vessels. Other is fifie, a working boat with dark and quite wide hull with enormous sails to give sufficient thrust for pulling trawls. How ever, a tacking requires the effort of a dozen men. Behind it coasts a gunter rigged sharpie: a lean, versatile craft suitable to many tasks,forgiving in maneuvering -until the boom touches the water that is.

This is your classic working boat horoscope for today.
