DAVE SIM:
Congratulations to Stephen and Michael for their EISNER AWARD NOMINATION for the PUMA BLUES!! Absolutely sensational news! Thanks to Drew Ford, their editor at Dover Publications, and Karen Smith -- Michael's Significant Other and frequent viewer of these pages -- for their phone messages letting me know.
Absolutely no danger of a full turn-out of participants at the Awards Ceremony, of course. But picture the table! Michael Zulli, Stephen Murphy, Steve Bissette, Alan Moore and me! I think that Henry Higgins' mother's advice would apply: "I suggest that you confine yourself to two subjects: the weather and your health."
But, seriously, I hope that I can persuade as many people as possible to vote for THE PUMA BLUES if only for the good karma that might compel a few more unfinished masterpieces to make it across the goal line however many decades later.
LOOK! YOU, TOO, CAN WIN...
I SAID! LOOK! YOU! TOO! CAN! WIN! AN EISNER! GRANDPA!
Karen! Post Here Frequently, Reminding People! With Photos of Michael and Stephen Reading Will Eisner Graphic Novels! This! Is! No! Time! For! Subtlety!
