I was floored that the National Cartoonists Society members nominated me for Best Online Longform Comic. This is my second nomination in two years, and I’m overwhelmed by the honor!
Two powerhouse cartoonists were also nominated this year. Jason Chatfield is a New Yorker cartoonist whose longform comic “You’re Not A Real Parent Until…” started as a special feature on The New Yorker’s website. It reassures all parents that everything’s going to be totally fine — whether it’s accepting dried vomit as a constant presence or learning to fear silence!
Evan Dahm’s Third Voice is a tour de force of visual storytelling. The story is an ambitious fantasy graphic novel following wandering scavengers in an ending world. Spondule and Navichet are set in “an invented world in a state of apocalyptic crisis, and the precarious lives of many people therein.”
