And now we are finally here...the big Kahuna. From writAARs to characters, graphics and styles, we put it all together and as mentioned when the reveals started, there were 50 AARs listed in this category! 50!!!

As with many of these categories, this one was also highly contested. Once more, every vote matters and where you list them matters too. Our runner up was within a see you in Tahiti hair to number one. It was that close. Yet we do have a winner and the 2023 AAR of the Year is...

The longest running and venerable magnum opus that may end by 2046. Many congratulations!
Of course, there were many, many others given nomination and they are presented below in order of the vote:
