I’m a big Futurama fan. So when I read this press release, I did a bit of a happy dance…because HERMES CONRAD will be in the house y’all! Okay, so it’s actually the real-life actor who voices Hermes, Phil LaMarr. Because cartoons aren’t real. Of course not.
As always, the Harvey Awards are a part of Baltimore Comic-Con, with the awards ceremony happening September 8th at the Con. Read on for more info….
Okay comic book guys and dolls, the day is here; the Harvey Awards nominees have been announced, and it’s a great crop this year. Winners, as always, will be announced at this year’s Baltimore Comic-Con September 8th. Need another reason to attend? There you go. You’re welcome.
I’m excited to see Pearls Before Swine, Mutts, get nods for Synicated Strip or Panel, Ozma of Oz (a favorite story of mine from my kiddie days) get a Best New Series nod, and the amazaing work of Drawn & Quarterly on the American edition of Onward Toward Our Noble Deaths. And hey wait — did a United States Government publication get a Harvey Award nod? Yep; Preventive Maintenance Monthly is so cool it almost makes me wanna sign up…almost.
I’ll leave it at that, otherwise I’ll never get on with announcing the nominees….
Mmm, awards season. I watch ’em on tv and I love every second. Okay, the commercials aren’t as awesome as the ones they show during the Super Bowl, but otherwise I’m hooked lock, stock & barrel.
But maybe you have a way to vote and aren’t just a part of the crowd. For one awards ceremony, it’s time to gear up, not give. I’m talking about the Harvey Awards, kudos that are given to “recognize outstanding work in comics and sequential art”. Bonus; the Harveys are given out during the Baltimore Comic-Con (which is September 8th and 9th of this year).
