Slate Names Short List For Cartoonist Studio Prize



The Slate Book Review and the Center For Cartoon Studies released the names of the nominees for their Cartoonist Studio Prize yesterday. There are two categories: print and webcomic. The shortlists were picked by Dan Kois (Slate); Center For Cartoon Studies as an entity represented by Noah Van Sciver, their fellow; and guest judge Caitlin McGurk (Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum).

There are bunch of interesting choices, and it sort of has a TCJ Top 100 Of The 20th Century feel in terms of what constitutes an individual work in each category.

Last year's winners were Richard McGuire (Here) and Winston Rowntree (Watching).
