A rating System! Yay! :P Uhm, but I dont like this one, sorry. There've been enough newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of its time in the water.

And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. [War:] And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. [Famine:] And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. [Death:] And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Ratings, yes! And please people (writers), don't get discouraged if 3 out of 4 strips only get a mediocre rating. Now, it would of course be nice to look at comics/ contributor so one could rate an entire "production line". The a contributor could also view a table of all his comic ratings. Newts are overused, yes, probably nothing else than a "new" newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of its time in the water.

When it is scared or angry, it inflates itself and its transparent skin shows its blood: the skin first appears greenish, then gradually changes color until it is a spotted red. The final color depends on the background color as well, hence the (figurative) implication of unreliability. [Capitalized:] a constellation of the southern hemisphere (Chameleo).

HEY! Answering the question for each rating is a real bummer. Even I get them wrong at times and you do need to think (visualize :-) for a few seconds each. Maybe a correct answer could give you 5-10 goes before asking again? I would also put the rating under the comic to make it easier to rate. Then it's a bit hard to scrollAnd I was gazing on the surges prone, With many a scalding tear and many a groan, When at my feet emerg'd an old man's hand, Grasping this scroll, and this same slender wand. I knelt with pain--reached out my hand--had grasp'd Those treasures--touch'd the knuckles--they unclasp'd-- I caught a finger: but the downward weight O'erpowered me--it sank. Then 'gan abate The storm, and through chill aguish gloom outburst The comfortable sun. I was athirst To search the book, and in the warming air Parted its dripping leaves with eager care. Strange matters did it treat of, and drew on My soul page after page, till well-nigh won Into forgetfulness; when, stupefied, I read these words, and read again, and tried My eyes against the heavens, and read again.

Hey Dion, I don't mean to give you yet more work, but I think the math you use to determine the average rating isn't right, or you aren't rounding correctly. Look: the previous comic currently has 0 votes for Poor, 1 for Mediocre, 1 for Fair, 3 for Good, and 1 for Excellent. Say we assign each possible score a value, so Poor is 0, Mediocre is 1, etc. Then we add up the value of each score, times the number of ratings with that score, and divide by the total number of ratings. ((0 x 0) + (1 x 1) + (2 x 1) + (3 x 3) + (4 x 1)) divided by 6 = 2 and 2 3rds, which rounds to 3, which is the Good rating. So why is the average rating Fair?
