Your 2017 Hugo Award Best Graphic Story Nominees

image

These were apparently announced last night. The Hugo Awards, focusing on science-fiction and fantasy, have been around since the early '50s and are one of the few cultural touchstones in its specific area my mom would have heard of.

The graphic story category began in 2009.

Congratulations to all of the nominees. I'm not sure if I thought of My Favorite Thing Is Monsters this way, but hey, I like that comic. Give it all the awards, that's what I say.
