Richard Thompson wins Cartoonist of the Year!

 

The National Cartoonists Society held their annual awards event Saturday night, and we are proud to announce that after five nominations for NCS awards the past four years, Richard Thompson was awarded the NCS' top prize - the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year!

 

The Cul de Sac creator, who counts among his most vocal fans none other than Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson, called the awards ceremony a "happy blur" and promised more reflection to come after he's had time to recover from the night's momentous events. Keep an eye on Richard's blog for more - and in the meantime, check out this tribute to the event by Dave Kellett!

 

We are thrilled beyond words for the recognition Richard has received for his brilliant work! Congrats, Richard!

 

And Thompson wasn't alone among GoComics creators who took home awards Saturday night. Gary McCoy won the Division Award for Gag Cartoons and joined his brother, Glen, in accepting the Division Award for Best Newspaper Panel Cartoon for their work on The Flying McCoys!

 

Congratulations to all of the winners and nominees!

Congrats to the Reuben Award winners!

Comic strips are so unrealistic

There's no way he'd be *unhappy* about that amount of ice cream.

Now go get some ice cream.

Are you reading "Endtown"? You should -- lots of others are

I wonder if this works

I have a decorative oar that needs hanging in the nautical room. (that statement is, strangely enough, 100% true.)

Fast Fact: www.gocomics.com/comments

 

Did you know that if you type in www.gocomics.com/comments you can see the entire GoComics site's comments (not just a single feature)? 

It's weird, exciting and at times a bit scary (like the first time you see Corey Pandolph dance).

Few things could top this

...maybe the movie version of the all-puppet version of "Dracula: The Musical" from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"...

My theory is that it would taste stringy.

GoComics and Comics.com to Combine Forces

The biggest thing to happen to comics since Silly Putty is coming on June 1.  The two largest comic strip, editorial cartoon and comic panel sites are merging forces to create one massive comic destination under the url GoComics.com.  This means you can get your daily comic fix and interact with fellow comic fans on one site. No more bouncing between two websites, receiving multiple emails and not remembering which site has Marmaduke.  On June 1, it's all here! 

So, what do you need to do before June 1?  Nothing.  On that glorious morning you will wake up to find that Comics.com has redirected to GoComics and you now have access to more than 300 comics and editorial cartoons.  Your daily comic email will come from GoComics, so make sure that you have added comics@mycomicspage.com to your safe sender list.  Comics.com accounts will automatically be migrated to GoComics, you will just need to reset your password.  If you have an account at both sites and use the same email, those accounts will be merged to create one comic page and daily email filled with all of the comics you follow. 

Comics.com members will also receive two free months of our Pro Membership.  That means no advertising interruptions, one daily email with all of the comics you follow and unlimited site access. 

On June 1, the world's best comics are under one roof: GoComics.com!
