This week we’re taking votes on our two latest test comic strips: “Bizarro” and “Sherman’s Lagoon.”

Call our comics line at (509) 459-3814, or send an email to comics@spokesman.com, and rate either or both comics on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. Also please state your age and gender (yes, that means you, too, emailers), to give us a better idea who likes which comics.

We plan to run one more test panel following “Bizarro” before picking a permanent replacement.

“Sherman’s Lagoon,” meanwhile, is the final strip we’re testing in the former “Get Fuzzy” spot.

And thanks again for all of your help and patience. We’re almost there.
