Cool! I’m also glad Pearls won for best comic strip, it’s my second favorite (currently published) syndicated comics after Mutts.

I am glad as well to see Pearls Before Swine getting it’s props. To me, it is almost prophetic that it has picked up the South Bend Tribune and the Richmond Times-Dispatch, where it’s replacing The Wizard of Id and B.C. respectively.

Also, it’s great to see Craig Mccracken winning in the television animation division. His visual style in Foster’s is amazing.
