All right, at 11:55PM the lion with the open mouth conceded to the one with the closed mouth and called for unity, after I held the dimpled votes up to a magnifying glass looking for signs that the voter typed "closed" in a sort of unsure way. 🙂 Thanks for the feedback, folks... glad I had it voted on, because I was one of the five voting for "open."
I have made some final subtle refinements to the closed-mouth lion and the lioness, and hopefully Zuni will accept them and add them when he gets time. 🙂
