Finalists for the Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards have finally been announced! Despite my fervent hopes that Life would be like a Feel-Good Movie where the Talented But Unknown Outsider Comes From Nowhere To Win Fame and Recognition From His Peers, my comic did not make the cut for any category. I'm disappointed, but not too surprised.

My congratulations go out to all comics that have been nominated for WCCAwards, and especially those in the Outstanding Photographic Comic category! They are: A Softer World by Emily Horne and Joey Comeau, Alien Loves Predator by Bernie Hou, Legostar Galactica by D.M. Jeftinija, Sinister Bedfellows by Mckenzee, and Twisted Kaiju Theater by Sean McGuinness. It's an honor to have my hopes crushed by such talented artists! My best wishes go out to all of them, and regardless of who wins, we'll all know the truth, won't we?
