Double-Nom!

Double-Nom!

I had to check if a blob of ink had flung onto my screen (not the first time today.) The sequence of letters and words in the email seemed to tell me I’ve been nominated for not one, but two divisions for this year’s Reuben Awards!

I honestly can’t believe it. This is my first time being nominated. I certainly don’t expect to be lugging home any awards in August, shrinking in the shadow of ink-slingers like Nick Galifianakis (Washington Post), Johnny Sampson (MAD), Brad Guigar, and Evan Daum. But I’m very chuffed.


The National Cartoonists Society's (NCS) Reuben Awards honor the year's best work in all areas of cartooning. The NCS's highest honor, the Reuben Award, is given to the prior year's outstanding cartoonist. The event will be held in San Diego, CA in August.

I’m very grateful to my fellow cartoonists for even considering my work for any of these things.1 This December I’ll have been a professional cartoonist for 20 years. This a nice nudge to keep going amid trying times.


--One of the nice things is getting to share the nomination phase (always the best phase) for the book excerpt with my friend and writing partner, Scott. He’s elbow-deep in newborn fathering duties because he takes his book research VERY seriously.

Thanks again, friends.
