* Mark Fiore talks with Michael Cavna about the personal meaning involved in winning the Herblock Prize. I love when comics people allow themselves to enjoy those kinds of things. We all know that awards don't mean anything in the wider scheme, but the way that an honor can hit us in the course of a career, or the realization that you've gone from someone who had this relationship with your field, or the prize-given, and now you have another kind of relationship, these can be special things.
* did I know that Robyn Chapman is working at First Second now, or did this Internet post tell me? Either way, that's a fine get for the comics publisher.
