More On The Jillian Tamaki Snubbing

I'm seemingly unable to write this without a run-on sentence, so please forgive me in advance: The letter sent by Seth and Chester Brown, attested to by a number of prominent cartoonists, on the topic of the organizers of the Governer General's Awards failing to recognize artist Jillian Tamaki as a co-author of the work Skim, drove a number of articles over the weekend. This includes both industry coverage outlets and general mainstream media sources. While an official policy of "too late to change things" seems likely to hold sway, I suppose there's a small chance that the awards organizers will make the simple change, but for the most part this sets a precedent for future programs that choose to recognize comics for their literary value.
