Jamie Smart has won the TOXIC Crazy Comic Poll and his strip, Count von Poo, will now have a regular spot in the comic.Jamie announced he'd won the poll via Twitter earlier today and thanked everyone who'd voted for him.
TOXIC's Supplement featured work from a host of great creators and, hopefully the project will encourage Egmont to develop its comics brands further.

Cant say I am surprised. He is becoming a bit of a legend already :-) The man is clearly completely insane though. 'Fish Head Steve' in the DFC was laugh out loud stuff. Well done Jamie.
