The most famous feline on the comics page was the big winner in the first ever Nickelodeon Magazine Comics Awards. The award for Favorite Comic Strip went to Garfield, by Jim Davis, which beat out finalists Calvin and Hobbes, FoxTrot, Peanuts and Mutts.
Take heart, Calvin fans: While he missed out on the Favorite Comic Strip award, Calvin didn't go home empty-handed, winning the Best Hair in Comics award. (Not bad for a kid who's been enjoying retirement for more than a decade.)
And lastly, Jeff Smith's Bone won the award for Favorite Fantasy Graphic Novel. The entire Bone series, originally published in black and white from 1991-2004, was reprinted in color by Scholastic Books' graphic novel imprint, Graphix. The first nine issues of the color series have also been re-released in a series of comic apps produced by Uclick for iPhone and iPod touch.

Just an FYI - I can'[t get the feeds to work with my Google Reader. I see the adverts but NOT the comic!
Thanks!

This is sort of off topic. I read 5 of your toons daily. I already get one emailed to me. I think you should add a MyToons page that comes up with the proper toons from the cookie you leave. It could be filled with advertising, everybody needs to make a living. I would even be willing to give up demographic info if you don't sell my name or email address.
Thank you everso
