* Steve Wolfhard – Cat Rackham

Congrats, Tara!

That's quite a list!  I'm a bit partial to Charles Christopher, but Anders Loves Maria just posted it's final comic this year, it was a pretty intense ending.  My money's on Renee Engstrom.  Congratulations to all of the nominees though!

If I had to guess I'd say that Anders Loves Maria is a shoe in. I agree with Noah.

That said, how awesome is it to be nominated?

Congrats Tara... I'd say you deserve it but as far as I'm concerned you aren't putting out updates fast enough...

I've read all of Galaxion and I want more!!!  

All right... then how about this? When I started reading through the archive I got sucked in so thoroughly that Tara basically ruined my plans for like two days straight!

What do you mean these are good things for webcomics to do? I thought webcomics were made so we could just glance at them quickly, get a chuckle and then forget about them. Tara isn't following the rules!

In all seriousness though, congrats. You are in some serious company right there. And you deserve to be.

I'll say it again--I was really under the impression that Rene Engström wasn't canadian. O_o

That said, congrats Tara! This is so awesome!

Yeah, congratulations! That's great to see. Maybe if she's up against the big names it means she's becoming a big name!

Awwww! Thanks, you guys!  My money's on Kate Beaton, but Rene Engstrom (whom I was told was born in Canada) is my second guess.

Sorry, Rob... I've never been a very speedy artist.  Seriously, I spend all the time I have on my comic, and this is as fast as I go. At least it's a schedule I can stick to!

I am so seething with jealousy I could cry. I hope you win, sincerely, you don't deserve to do any less than the rest of them, more than some. Personally, I think Anders Loves Maria is overrated, but being up there with Karl Kerschl, Kate Beaton and Gisele Lagace is pretty stylish. Congrats!

Hey, you update way more often than I do.
