After a much needed break, Wonkie is back! We would like to wish all our readers a very Happy New Year and the very best for 2009.

You may notice some funky changes to the site which include:

• A slick archive feature so you can browse older cartoons – by tags and cartoon strip categories (e.g. Viva South Africa, The Whole Truth, Bollywood Nights)
• Integration of surveys into posts (for the lazy among you who don’t like to comment!)
• A 5-star cartoon rating system with every cartoon post (for the even lazier among you – we really want your feedback!)
• Subscribe to comments feature integrated in every post
• Subscription to individual cartoon strips so readers can subscribe to only the strips they’re interested in
• A Contact Wonkie page if you’d like to leave us a private message or feedback on the site

The winner of the iPod competition for email subscribers will be announced later this week – stay tuned! We hope you’ll continue to enjoy the cartoons this year and look forward to your thoughts, opinions and commentary – have fun!
