Yay, we're pariahs*!
Hey, SLG readers, Eisner Award nominations were announced today, and guess what?
We were totally and completely snubbed!
Not that it's much of a surprise, and the judges have to nominate what they feel is the best work produced in the last year, but it's still kind of a downer, in an amusing sort of way. I'm into ambivalent emotions -- they're complex and you can sit for a long time and try to sort them out -- figure out the what-exactly-am-I-feelings and whys and what-can-we-dos and all that. Now, normally, I like sitting around and trying to sort stuff out in my head. But I have work to do, and I'd like not to slip into a funk.
So, can you cheer us up? Tell us about stuff we published this year that you liked. Show us something silly that will make me and our creators smile through our wounded egos. I'm fully confident that you can do this. Because you're the people who matter most, right?
*I mean that in a sort-of-ironic way. I don't have a persecution complex. I hate those.
