If you write or draw a webcomic (and at this point, who doesn't?), take a minute to vote in the eternally fascinating Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards. I'm not nominated for anything, probably because I didn't do much in 2007 except for Smithson, and Smithson clearly won't be recognized for its greatness until long after Brian and I have died lonely paupers' deaths in a Victorian-style gutter. Despite that, this year's nominations are actually pretty good, so go vote and get some talented people some fake awards.

Also, I forgot to mention yesterday that I've got a new "All the Comics in the World" column up on Comixology. This one is about all the original art I own. I swear eventually I'll get back to talking about All-Star Batman or something.

OMG I can totally vote in these now!

Or did you have to actually be active during '07 to vote?

Not as far as I know. Anyway, you wrote a strip on December 31. Go for it!

Yes, but by that logic, we should have been eligible for "best newcomer". ;-)

It's... probably not all that formal, I suspect.

Okay, cool.

You're correct:

On all counts, actually... :)

Dag! Woulda been nice to have had more than one strip up on our debut shot at the Webbys. Curse you falling on a Monday, December 31! Ah well.

Ah:

But you're also correct when you say, "It's... probably not all that formal"

This time next year, should Skin Horse have gotten enough nominations, I doubt we'll be of a mind to throw it off the ballot just 'cause of one day this way or that. At least if the question came up in the committee, I know which way my vote'd go.

Fair enough! Thanks for your advice.

Wow, I didn't know you were the one to name Bartleby! That's so cool! (I'd dig out my old issues of Bone, but that would involve going into the basement, and the basement involves spiders.)

And lest you think you were the only one, I'd credit Wizard Magazine's "Palmer's Picks" for introducing me to Acme Novelty Library, Jay Stephens and possibly Eightball. Pretty much the entire reason I do comics today.

Don't worry. After you've died of a combination of hypothermia, consumption, and delirium tremens, I will reintroduce the world to Smithson and reap obscene profits from your labor.

I've said it before and I hope to say it again
