Dave Coverly Wins 2009 Reuben



The popular comics panelist Dave Coverly of Speed Bump won the 2009 Reuben as Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year Saturday during the formal awards ceremony put on by the National Cartoonists Society, this year in Los Angeles. Coverly also provides cartoons to Parade and I believe The New Yorker. The other nominees this year were Stephan Pastis of Pearls Before Swine and Dan Piraro of Bizarro.

NCS Hall of Fame "Gold Key" awards were presented to Bil Keane and Mell Lazarus. Silver T-Square honors for service to the NCS were given to the late Australian cartoonist James Kemsley and the cartoonist Jeff Bacon. Mike Luckovich hosted the ceremony. The Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist is, along with the Pulitzer Prize in editorial cartooning, the single most prestigious North American award given out on a regular basis and one of a handful of such awards with that stature in the world. Past winners include Charles Schulz, Herblock, Hal Foster, Frank King, Chester Gould and Ronald Searle -- in one six-year period.

Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first time Creators Syndicate has had the winner, at least in the year they've won.
