Once again Deskpilot has topped the leaderboard by a considerable margin. Also once again we have to invoke the Wren rule which states that a writer can't be crowned Writer of the Month two months concurrently, so the virtual mug goes to Nicka for his not-too-shabby 28 points.
There are many other great scores on the board below.
Below the leaderboard is the cartoon of the month and below that the 108 headlines that were published this month.
