Your 2009 Reuben Award Finalists





Michael Cavna of Comic Riffs has published the names of the finalists for the big NCS award: Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine), Dave Coverly (Speed Bump) and Dan Piraro (Bizarro). My gut "if I had to bet a finger" reaction is that of this group it will be Pastis, but I wouldn't be surprised by any of them taking home the outstanding cartoonist award. Along with the dedicated Pulitzer and the festival prize at Angouleme, the Reuben is comics' best honor. I suppose there might be something to the fact that two of these cartoonists are basically single-panel cartoonists (I think Piraro offers his feature as a strip or panel), or even something to the fact that this escaped me until preparing the art above. The winner will be announced on Memorial Day weekend.
