Day Prize Short List Announced
I have just received an e-mailed bulletin from Mr. Spaceman himself, Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo promotor Robert "Bob" Corby (who needs a haircut. I saw him today, and while the top remains nice and smooth and shiny, the back's looking a little shaggy.) Dave Sim, former writer and artist of Cerebus and administrator of the Howard Eugene Day Memorial Prize, has announced the short list of nominees for the 2006 Day Prize.

Since it was Dave's turn this year to wade through all the crap submitted and whittle it down to the short list shown above, his business partner, the one name wonder known as Gerhard is tasked with the selection of this year's winner, which will be announced during a ceremony at this year's SPACE, which expands to become a two day show this year and will take place on April 21 and 22. The Day Prize presentation will be on Saturday the 21st.
I'll have more details about this year's SPACE as it gets closer.

so pat lewis is competing with pat lewis? this seems like a bad idea ...
It worked for Helen Mirren at the Golden Globes. She was nominated twice in the Best Actress in a Drama Category and, sure enough, took home the chintzy little statue.
