Early results “not satisfactory”, says Erik Campos, but Midtoon to abide by the will of the people.

With a strong show of emotion, Erik Campos, creator and main character of the Midtoon comic strip confided to this reporter that he is “disappointed with the early results of this week’s poll.”

As of this writing, Erik Campos had received no votes in the poll that would help decide which character will be followed in the next story arc. “I know people may want to see someone else,” he said. “But heck, I am the main character, and zero, nada, zip!”

Erik trails his younger brother Javier, his step mother Mabel, who runs second and even an undetermined character, loosely described as ‘another character’ in the polls.

These results were characterized as ‘surprising’ and ‘unusual’ by the author, who totally believes he should be a close runner up on this poll, if not the winner. “We will be conducting an audit of the automatic voting machines used in the polls,” said John Campos, who shares with Erik the dubious honor of being at the bottom of the list. “We will not rest until we get to the bottom of this.”

The Executive Producer of Midtoon, Neftali Rivera said in a press release that “even though Erik may be frustrated, we do not have any reason to suspect electoral fraud.” Rivera later added that “The polls are still open and the results are not yet final, but we assure you that after the people of Midtoon express their opinion with their votes, we will abide with it. This is one of the most important tenets of democracy, and we stand committed to respect the will of the people.”
