I’m far too tired right now to explain what the capper mayor is, why it matters, if it matters, or how it’s being chosen. Suffice it to say, it’s a capper egroup thing, and either you understand what that means or I’m not the guy to explain it to you. At any rate, this figurehead might get perceived as a figurehead over more than just the capper egroup, so you may want to join the group and have your say. Anyway, here are some captions from the candidates and others (including the election moderator, Xig. Do elections usually have moderator?)
IS will refrain from endorsing a candidate. We’re close to anti-endorsing a candidate based solely on their titular party allegiance, but that would be petty, even for a comicshopguyian figure such as myself.

I have to admit, I haven’t found the time (or energy) to really pay attention or care. I’m nearing message overload over there.

We are trying to revitalize the capper eGroup. Hoo-rah! Most of the obnoxious people are gone but, unfortunately, so is the previous Mayor (Soozcat). We are presently electing a new one. Most of us are having great fun even though we have no idea or concern about the consequences of this.
In alphabetical order, the candidates TheDiva, GrayZombie, PrezGAR, HelenServo, and Scypha (who we affectionately call the “Capentagon”) have each responded intelligently to intense question and answer periods and have posted humorous and revealing accounts of their plans for the group. Along with these posts are the usual oh-so-witty anecdotes that only we oh-so-flippantly-superior cappers can provide.
Just remember, if you don’t vote and Communism takes over the capper world, don’t come belly aching to me. Oh, no. Don’t even try. Well, I mean if something *really* awful happens like the Communists making you marry someone you don’t love, *that* you can complain about. That’s serious. Or if they tell you your chicken farm is being taken over and turned into a detention camp for Capitalists, well, you can complain about that too. But nothing else. I’m serious.
Voting will begin tomorrow. And may the sexiest candidate win. Personally, that’s all I care about. That’s why I’m such a good election moderator.
Please join us. We’ll be handing out capper titles next, just as we did in the good old days.
