Last month was pretty big. I reached number 200 and because of that, I put the survey live. If you haven't already filled it in, please do so. It gives me so much insight in what you - the readers - like and expect to see from the comic. It will only cost you a couple of minutes and you might even end up with a great sketch (in case you aren't the winner of this month Monthly Sketch).

So last month we had 44 comments and that got devided over 15 different commenters. Thanks all for the great comments! I really love to hear from you all and I'm (still) in the process of making some adjustments to the website, so I can interact with you guys even better. The comments were from: Saeed, Tim Green, Bearman, Tim Green, CJ Daub, George, Frank, Mark Stokes, Tim Green, tmcelmurry, JerryBenedict, TEDeBEAR and A.M. Frasier, Tim Green, Saeed, George, JerryBenedict, Tim Green, Saeed, White, White, White, White, JerryBenedict, Tim Green, Saeed, Jordan, Jordan, Warren Frantz, JerryBenedict, White, Tim Green, Bearman, Warren Frantz, Frank, Jared, JerryBenedict, tmcelmurry, Tim Green, CJ Daub, White, JerryBenedict, Jande, tmcelmurry and Warren Frantz.

And now let's get to calculating the winner. I received no numbers from my Twitter people, so I'll just use some of the numbers of this website. 13, 167, 58 and 458. Those numbers are: responses until now on my survey, Facebook likes, InkOutbreak fans and visitors today. So let’s add those together and we’ll get: 696. Next step is calculating the remainder and that will determain the winner. 696 mod 44 = 36. So the 36th commenter will be the winner of this months Sketch Give Away. And the winner is…

JerryBenedict

And for the rest of you guys. Thank you so much for commenting this month and just keep on dropping your comments, the more you leave, the higher your chances can get! And if you want to make sure you’ll get a sketch / drawing no matter what… you can always contact me for a commission or to buy a print or original of a comic.

We reached another milestone, comic number 200! When I started the comic, I never thought I would get this far. But now I'm there, I know this was only the beginning. We are now running for more than 2 years and there are a lot people following the comic. So it's time to get to know you all and to make the website, the comic and the Mojo community better fit your needs.

I want to aks you all if you would fill in the Mojo Reader Survey 2012. Thank you so much!

Because I was sick the last couple of days, I had no time / energy to do the calculations for the Monthyl Sketch Giveaway. But now I'm a little better, I - of course - have to do them. And I want to. Because that way I can make someone happy again with a sketch.

The last month there were 50 comments written by 24 commenters, so it was again a great month. Thank you all for commenting. Really appreciate it a lot if you guys drop your two cents and let me share your opinion with me and the rest of the readers. So let's do our calculations again.

The comments this month were from: Bearman, JerryBenedict, George, tmcelmurry, Carlo Ostrout, Tim Green, Mark Stokes, Tim Green, JerryBenedict, Mark Stokes, White, Tim Green, JerryBenedict, Mark Stokes, Gooberandcindy.com, Binky, Tim Green, Tim Green, Tim Green, Andrei Esca, JerryBenedict, Mark Stokes, Mark Stokes, Tim Green, Mark Stokes, Chris K, tmcelmurry, Andrei Esca, White, White, JerryBenedict, Phoebe, Tim Green, Jordan, tmcelmurry, Jande, Andrei Esca, Jordan, MJ, Tim Green, JerryBenedict, Jande, Andrei Esca, Mark Stokes, Saeed, Saeed, tmcelmurry, Mark Stokes, Christen, kaitou, Tim Green and White

That's a total of 50 comments. Thanks a lot for the effort, guys. Really love to hear from all of you!

The numbers I received from my Twitter followers were: 36, 14, 76 and 29. So let's add those together and we'll get: 153. Next step is calculating the remainder and that will determain the winner. 153 mod 50 = 3. So the 3rd commenter will be the winner of this months Sketch Give Away. And the winner is...

George Ford

Congratulations George. And because I'm in a happy mood, I asked my wife for another number between 0 and 50... she picked number 33... so the 33rd commenter ALSO wins a sketch! And that winner is mr (or ms) White. Congratulations to you too!

George and White, please send your address to skar[at]mojocomic[dot]com and let me know if you prefer any particular character.

And for the rest of you guys. Thank you so much for commenting this month and just keep on dropping your comments, the more you leave, the higher your chances can get!

And another month has gone by, with more comments (55) and commenters (19) than the previous month. Before I will tell you ... no wait... calculate with you who this months winner is, let's state a few minor rules.

- previous winners do not apply for the price, but please keep commenting, maybe I will rewards top comments in another way later this year.
- I will include previous winners in the determination of the winner, but if the result is a previous winner the next person in line will be the winner
- if the calculation ends with 0, the last person of the list is the winner (thanks for Kaitou for pointing that out)

Ok. Without further ado let's see who is this months winner.

The comments this month were from: kaitou, Pascal, kaitou, Mark Stokes, Saeed, Michael Hawkins, Tim Green, JerryBenedict, Tim Green, Bearman, JerryBenedict, Mark Stokes, Tim Green, qka, Bearman, Tim Green, JerryBenedict, Saeed, Frank, JerryBenedict, Chris K, Tim Green, CJ Daub, Mark Stokes, Mark Stokes, Mark Stokes, Tim Green, JerryBenedict, LuLong, Tim Green, JerryBenedict, Saeed, Binky, Binky, Mark Stokes, White, White, Saeed, Tim Green, Tim Green, Saeed, White, JerryBenedict, Mark Stokes, dfgdgh, Tim Green, qka, JerryBenedict, Saeed, Craggie, Mark Stokes, Carlo Ostrout, White, WG, Bearman

That's a total of 55 comments. Thanks a lot for the effort, guys. Really love to hear from all of you!

The numbers I received from my Twitter followers were: 10, 88, 12, 57, 13 and 189. So let's add those together and we'll get: 369. Next step is calculating the remainder and that will determain the winner. 369 mod 55 = 39. So the 39th commenter will be the winner of this months Sketch Give Away. And the winner is...

Tim Green

Congratulations Tim. Another person who commented often (10 times this month), so it shows... comment often and increase your change of winning! And I'm really happy that Tim won, because besides that he comments often, he also finds the time to draw his own webcomic, Vinnie the Vampire. Go check it out, it's worth it!

It's the last day of this month, so it's time to pick the winner of this first months Monthly Sketch Giveaway.

I've thought of a method which will pick the winner with some help from my Twitter followers.

Here is a list of the people who commented (in decending order of their comments, first to last):

Mike

That's a total of 17 commenters, spread over 42 comments.

Ok, to determine the winner I had some help from my Twitter followers and math. I asked my Tweeps to give me some numbers and I got: 9, 7, 36, 3, 1945 and 43. Now if we add all those numbers together we get 2043. And now some help from math: we use the number of comments (42) and calculate the modulus (remainder) and that's the winner. Brilliant, not?!

So. 2043 mod 42 = 27. So the person who wrote the 27th comment is our first winner of the Monthly Sketch Giveaway of January 2012. And that person is... Mark Stokes.

Congrats Mark. I'm honored to send you the first sketch, especially since you are one of my true fans, dear colleague and also one of the top commenters this month. Let me know what character you wish to have sketched and send me your home address at skar[at]mojocomic[dot]com

For the rest of you. Please come back next month, leave as much comments as you want (since it will increase you changes to win) and thanks for playing 😀
