It might be one of the shorter months, but it looks like we have had record numbers of subs and headlines. James_doc has pulled out all the stops, scoring an incredible 56 points. Well done James. Deskpilot and eppusimouove have been running neck and neck through the month, with Desky pulling ahead by one point. Wren and mcdabble have also been in a slug-fest, too.


As usual, the cartoon of the month is below the full list of links to this month's subs and is itself followed by the full list of headlines.

Deskpilot has swept the board once again, and isn't subject to the vagaries of the Wren rule this month so can proudly hold the virtual trophy above his head. Sully has had a commendable month, edging ahead of Wren and, er, Titus. Well done everyone who submitted and especially those who scored.


As usual the Cartoon of the month is featured below the leaderboard, as is the full list of tickers.

Deskpilot has, once again, provided a full suite of FPs, NiBs, headlines (obvs), features and hat tips and is head and shoulders above the rest of us. The Wren rule comes in to play here, though, so eppursimuove takes the crown with a very credible score. Congrats to everyone who got published this month.


As usual all the links to the subs are below the leaderboard, the cartoon of the month is honoured just below that and, as usual, a full list of the headlines that made the cut are at the end of this page.
