Wiley Miller Wins Reuben Award; NCS Divisional Awards Announced Last Night At Traditional Ceremony



Wiley Miller won the Reuben Award this year, the major honor also known as the National Cartoonists Society award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year. One of the most esteemed awards in the world of comics, past winners include Charles Schulz, Hal Foster and Al Capp. The other nominees were Hilary Price, Stephan Pastis and Mark Tatuli.

Comics winners of potential specific interest to readers of this site given our coverage areas included animator/comics-maker Hayao Miyazaki for The Wind Rises in feature animation; Jeff Smith for Tuki as the long-form on-line strip; Andrew C. Robinson for 5th Beatle as the graphic novel of the year; Sergio Aragones for Sergio Aragones Funnies as the honored comic book. I think this may have been the first year with two categories for on-line work; the short-form version went to Ryan Pagelow for Buni. There were any number of familiar winners in other categories, like Mike Ramirez in editorial cartoons and past Reuben winner Dave Coverly for newspaper panels.

The NCS Awards ceremony was held in San Diego, California, this year -- the black-tie occasion moves from place to place every year, but is held on Memorial Day weekend. I believe Miller accepted in person.

Congratulations to all winners and all nominees.
