Your Next Great Cartoonist Finalists

I nearly missed this, but Michael Cavna announced five finalists this week for the Washington Post's unfortunately named "America's Next Great Cartoonist" contest. They are:

The five finalists as the contest goes forward are:

* Forever Endeavor, Thomas Mullany
* Hoxwinder Hall, Daniel Boris
* Imogen Quest, Olivia Walch
* Real Time, Bob Erskine
* Stupid Inventor, Zachary Snyder

The finalists are all being asked to submit example Sundays, which will be the basis of the next round of voting in July. Each of the entries has judges' comments in them, and some of them are appropriately harsh. I think the Walch submission is the most intriguing -- plus she's apparently super-young -- and there are flashes with Mullany's. One of the submissions is so bad that if this were a reality TV show I'd know it was the submission from the housemate that got into the most altercations with his/her roomies and the show was keeping that person around just for more fights.
