The brilliant and original XKCD is currently trailing the hackish, never-ever-even-remotely-funny (and often disturbingly sexist) Day By Day in the 2007 Weblog Awards by about 400 votes, and this cannot be borne.
Go now, and vote for XKCD. Vote every day. Tell everybody else to vote as well. Because a comic strip that is actually funny should win the damn award.
(For those wondering, Penny Arcade isn’t even close.)

If Tycho mentioned it in a news post, Penny Arcade would win by a landslide.
xkcd has 3159 votes. Day By Day has 1908.
Sucks. I wanted Girl Genius to win.
Sorry, I voted for Basic Instructions. I’d give xkcd the silver though.
I am so glad I have the choice NOT to vote for any of them.
How the hell did Day by Day even get on the ballot? Its fucking terrible. You could swap the politics in the thing entirely around and it would STILL be fucking terrible…
XKCD is so entirely not funny. I’m voting for PVP.
But you’re right, Penny Arcade isn’t funny either.
XKCD is the sweetest thing ever, this strip makes my heart melt every time. Perhaps just because it reminds me of my own life http://xkcd.com/289/
The rest? *sighs*
But where’s Gunnerkrig Court? Or Wonderella? Or Achewood? Or Lackadaisy Cats? Or Dr. McNinja? Or that one with the funny faces?
I would have voted for any of those. I guess it’s going to have to be Girl Genius.
xckd now has 4810 to Day by Day’s 2544. Congrats on influencing the Internet in some way. You must be proud.
