As you can probably see, the results are now posted. A shortened version has been sent to rec.arts.comics.info, with all entries with 3 or more valid votes.
There was a technical blunder with the web comic category - it got left off of the web ballot, and nobody noticed. I didn't realize this until I was counting, and wondering why the absurd lack of votes. (There was, admittedly, minimal interest among those who sent in email votes in the first place, as well.)
There are a few categories that I think need clarifying - I'd like to straighten out the Graphic Novel/Collection categories, and the Adaptation needs to be cleared up - lots of people voted for comics that _were_ adaptations (ie, the Xena comic), rather than adaptations of comics. And some categories had little interest - few votes, lots for (no award) - that may be prime for elimination or combination with a similar category.
I'm sure you all will be able to discuss the quirks of the actual numbers quite well, though. Web votes substantially outnumbered email-generated votes, and many of our regulars used the web vote. I'm seriously considering the idea of making a web-vote the primary source, and sticking a java program to do all the work behind it. (Email votes would still be no problem, with a human proxy to enter it into the web page. If a java program could do the counting and generate reports automatically, this'd be much less work.)
The Squiddies are much more mainstream than a few years back, but I think the winners are all high quality. So, to win it takes a combination of being popular _and_ good. I can live with that.
