For all of you joining us for this month's Cartoonists Northwest meeting, this is the official May "Best of the Northwest" thread.

Post your entry here by the end of the weekend to be part of the vote. Vote for a comic by giving it a like. The entry that gets the most likes by Monday wins.

This thread is just for Best of the Northwest entries. If you have any other questions or issues, start a new thread.
