Writer of the Month February 2024

Deskpilot continues his fantastic run, however longer running competitors will recall the Wren rule, suggested by Wrenfoe in the early days of this competition when he was winning on a monthly basis, that a person cannot win two months running.  On that basis stewartbarclay is nominated Writer of the Month.  Congrats to everyone who had anything published in this elongated February, however.

As usual the cartoon of the month follows the hyperlinks to the successful subs and is above the full ticker list.
