The artist that did banner isn't on staff anymore and I'm not sure if we can get a hold of him. However, I do agree that he did an amazing job. He's actually doing his own webcomic now if I remember right....would have to check though.

The idea is certainly a unique one. Perhaps to be included in the comic you could have been selected as the "Avi of the Week" or "Avi of the Month"...I know that sort of recognition has been done elsewhere, but just throwing it as an idea. Could have it either be selected by staff, or nominated by users and then voted on (at least in terms of for the month). Would likely require a slightly larger user base to start at the very least though.
