Congratulations to Dan Piraro, Stephan Pastis and Richard Thompson on their nominations for the Reuben Award For Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year. The above comics illustrate why.
A cartoon strip about the unlikely friendship between Ollie (a Seagull) and Quentin (a Lugworm) by Piers Baker.

Are you going to make a prediction? Personally I think they all deserve it.... Bizarro for sheer consistency, Pearls for being heads up the funniest strip around and Cul de Sac for unparalleled brilliance. I think Pastis will get it, Piraro deserves it and Thompson is a certainty but not this year (apparently he's not even an NCS member!).
That puts me on the spot... thanks Jonathan!
Guess what? I agree.
Stephan Pastis is definitely our industry's 'top dog' despite young Richard Thompson coming in and stealing the show somewhat. Dan is very consisitent (which is such a boring word it sounds like an insult). His 'hit rate' is exceptional so logically should win it. Thing is, logic counts for nothing in comicland.
