Dave Lasky Is Cartoonist Of The Year

I mean that generally, but I guess I should also point out that a similar position has been staked out by the nice folks at Cartoonists Northwest, who named the well-liked, well-regarded cartoonist the winner of their Golden Toonie Award for Cartoonist of the Year 2008. I think but I can't quite be sure that pat winners include Peter Bagge and Shary Flenniken. The other awards for this year were as follows

* Illustration: David Lasky
* Syndicated Cartoonist: Jan Eliot, Stone Soup
* Best Writer: Mark Monlux, The Return of Stickman
* Web Comic: Mark Monlux, The Comic Critic
* Continuing Work: Keith Curtis, Crater on the Moon
* Ink in his Vein Award: Kevin Boze, The Virgin Project
* Best of the Northwest: Jeff Hawley, for a May 2008 cartoon
* Most of the Northwest: Jeff Hawley, for all the times he won the monthly "Best of the NW"
* Creative Clay Creation, Liam Austin and Bill Morse (Tie)
* Most Creative: Mark Monlux
* Best use of Props: Monica Spykerman
* Best Effort: Pat Lile

I remember them being very, very nice and extremely supportive of cartoonists working in the area. The awards are given out every year at a banquet.
