The End Of The Month Means Attention-To-Awards-Program Time

* so Eisner Awards submissions are due early next week, which means they should probably go in the mail today or tomorrow just to be sure.

* the Eisner Hall Of Fame voting is open for about another month. As has been the case last two years, I hope you'll consider voting for Bill Blackbeard. The great archivist, whose fingerprints -- maybe literally -- are on more of a standard racking of comics-related books enjoying a spine than anyone not Jack Kirby -- is up again for the honor and it would be great to see him honored. With Katsuhiro Otomo nominated, I think we're about to see a flood of 1970s-emergent cartoonists (Otomo's first work came out in I believe 1979), which means if Blackbeard doesn't get in soon he's probably not going to get in at all.

* the Harvey Awards ballot is currently open as well, for about another six weeks. It won't take you quite that long to get a ballot ready, but it's not something you can blow off until the last second, either.
