@achewood There are only five Wodehouse books on my special Wodehouse shelf?! As Jeeves himself might ask, "Where in the fuck are the rest of them."

WCCA Awards

Normally I wouldn't care so much about this, but Achewood has been nominated for quite a few this year. If you can't be bothered to trawl through it to find what Onstad has been nominated for, here are the nominations Achewood's been put down for:

Outstanding Comic
Outstanding Writing
Outstanding Character Writing
Outstanding Comedic Comic

I think Achewood straight up trounces anyone else in these categories (except maybe Comedic Comic; PBF deserves that one through and through). It's a shame that Achewood only seems to have been nominated so comparatively widely this year because of the popularity afforded by the GOF. I wouldn't say it's improved dramatically through all the years it wasn't nominated (it's always deserved this level of recognition), but these awards seem to be based on popularity anyhow. It'd be great to see Onstad win an award, anyhow. He certainly deserves it.

As for everyone else, I don't have much to say except I will cry if Dinosaur Comics wins anything. I've had just about enough 'HEY GOD DO YOU LIKE LADIES' 'I LOVES THE LADIES' strips to make me seriously doubt the people who nominate it for Outstanding Writing.

I normally do not care about these things either but it is nice to see OoTS get some sort of recognition, I guess.

I concur about Dinosaur Comics, mostly they make me go "meh".

So it's satire, is it?  Well that changes everything!

Achewood wins nothing while Ryan North gets Outstanding Writing over the consistently brilliant blogs and dialogue of Achewood? Bewildering! However, I am pretty pleased that the PBF won pretty much everything it could possibly be nominated for.

The whole WCCA malarkey and subsequently this post ain't worth the bandwidth it eats up, but hell, it ain't my bandwidth.

Achewood wouldn't want the award, man.  It would go to its head and then the strip would just sit on the sofa and eat bon-bons all day.

I guess Ryan North would have to win for writing if he won anything at all.  I never got why he is even considered a comic since he doesn't draw anything.  It's just a very strange blog or something.  Glad to see PBF win, that's the funniest shit out there aside from Achewood.

C'mon, no love here for A Lesson Is Learned... getting the art and layout respect it so richly deserves? That strip is like crazy magic.

A lesson is learned is truly wonderful but serously they have not updated regularly in forever, I don't think you can really give them a yearly award when most of their stuff came out last year.

I happen to enjoy Dinosaur comics, yeah he riffs on the same stuff a lot but so does Achewood (and just about every other art form out there) and it is usually good for a chuckle.

I read Dino Comics. It makes way more sense to me than Overcompensating which I'm apparently supposed to like.

If nothing else DC often has interesting links in the news section. That's how I found out about the Mario blocks harglebargle, Dr. McNinja, and xkcd.

Yeah, I sort of agree. I need to buy the Wigu print stuff, but I've sort of been demotivated by J-Ro going increasingly inscrutable and insane in recent months. I mean, what the hell?

Noooo! Overcompensating is brilliant.  Dinosaur comics has too many words.
