The final votes have been tallied, and the winner of the first ever Amazon Comic Strip Superstar contest is: Dana Simpson, whose charming submission, Girl, took a lead early in the voting and never let go, despite a late push by the eventual runner-up. Congratulations, Dana!
Dana's winnings include a book deal with Andrews McMeel Publishing, online distribution on GoComics.com, and a development deal with Universal Uclick.
Congrats to all of the finalists in the Amazon Comic Strip Superstar contest. This certainly shouldn't be the last we hear from this group of amazingly gifted cartoonists. And once again, big congrats to Dana Simpson for winning the contest and introducing us all to the enchanted world of Girl!
Awesome job, Dana! Congrats!

Yes, great comic. I would certainly like to see it a regular on GoComics too. I would like to see more of it wherever it is.

So when is Girl going to start syndication?

If you're waiting to read "Girl" you can just as easily read the artist's prior comic, "Ozy and Millie": http://www.ozyandmillie.net/
All of the best "Girl" strips are taken wholesale from "Ozy and Millie" and have just been repackaged with slightly different art.

Oh, and someone else has already listed up the proof, which saves me the work of pointing them out:
