The first round of Webcomic Idol has come and gone and with it, half of the contenders! Join me in wishing the best to all of these deserving strips:

The Book of Biff
Calamities of Nature
Newspaper Comic Strip
Superfogeys 
Xylia

The remaining contestants are strong representatives of various genres, so make sure to stop by the site and vote for the strip you like the least! We may have a new President-elect, but the negative politicking is just starting! Also, we’ll have a Q&A with the creator of Newspaper Comic Strip up shortly, so if anyone else wants to say their piece, hit us up at digital.strips@gmail.com and we’ll come up with some appropriate inquiries!
