The 2003 Web Cartoonists Choice Awards [ccawards.com] website is up and running, it looks like nominations start on May 4th.

Last year's awards were a bit of a 14-car pileup, I thought, what with all the backslapping and the cabals and inside dealings and such. Still, having them at all is a step in the right direction, and I'm hoping they've made some changes this year to make it more fair, or at least a bigger, more exciting disaster.

If you're a cartoonist, be sure to sign up and participate, as it doesn't look like anything better is coming along anytime soon.

all the backslapping and the cabals and inside dealings and such

Are you saying those things are bad?

It's definately better than New Jersey politics [cnn.com].

Somehow I always miss out on the backslapping (did you mean stabbing?) and cabals and inside dealings. I guess I'm just out of all the loops.

Nominees [ccawards.com] are up. Nothing for me this year, but John [scarygoround.com] and Rich [dieselsweeties.com] got nominated. Congrats, guys!

Criminally, no noms for WiGU [wigu.com] and Achewood [achewood.com]. I take solace in the fact that I get to drink heavily with Jeff next month at Comic-con.

In Response to jon (#6065):

If it is not an award that is a trophy made out of drugs or $100 bills, I am really not interested in it anyway.

sorry you weren't up for anything, you should have taken the cake.
