[...] And speaking of politics, to the best of various memories, this is the first time a male has been nominated for the Kim Yale Award for Most Talented Newcomer, which is causing some concerned discussion. (To those who already think the organization has lost its way, it’s an especially convenient talking point.) My suggestions in this category are Kathryn Immonen (just barely qualifying, since her work for Marvel started three years ago) or Lisa Hanawalt, who just won the Outstanding Comic Ignatz. [...]

Hi Johanna,

Nice seeing you at SPX. Hope the show was fun and successful for you.

To respond a little to your comment about Troop 142, I post new pages to the website (http://troop142.mikedawsoncomics.com/index.html/) at least once a week. Sometimes more, but usually on Fridays. If you go there now, you’ll see I’m about halfway through chapter 6, FRIDAY.

Whenever I complete a chapter, I collect it as a minicomic, to sell either at conventions (like MoCCA), or online through Secret Acres.

So, it comes out reliably in both formats.

I’m not sure which judge voted for the comic in which category – so I can’t say why it got a nomination in both places. I guess it’s possible the same judge nominated it in both categories, but I don’t know.
