I'm learning a lot about the Web as I go along. I'm learning that people wander in all hours of the day and night, and without knocking. I'm still getting dozens of letters every day wanting to vote for Janis' hairstyle, or wanting to know which hairstyle won. I thought I'd finished with all that days ago. Silly me! Thinking back, perhaps I did just hit it a lick and a promise.

"The Retro" won the poll, although devotees of "The Tweak" are alleging ballot-stuffing. Investigation continues. No other hairstyles in the final poll were close. Janis' makeover will be addressed in the newspaper beginning Monday, June 7. This is because of the lead time necessary to produce and distribute comic strips for conventional publication.

As announced here Friday, May 14, the voting lasted through the following weekend, and the results were announced Monday, May 17. Yes, it is now too late to vote. I'm sorry if you missed your chance, but I am considering doing another Janis makeover when pigs fly. So keep looking up.

I should have had some kind of permanent, convenient link on this Web site connecting visitors with this information. To all those who've been writing me all week, asking how you can vote on Janis' hairstyle, I apologize for wasting your time.

One new cartoon today. I thought you might be interested in seeing this, the most commented upon A&J cartoon of all time. I think it's cute, but I never would have predicted this idea would strike a chord in so many people. It's a Sunday cartoon, by the way, the first I believe I've featured here. It's from April 28, 1996.
