  2. Congrats Mark! And congrats to all the nominees….You’re all TOPS IN MY BOOK!!!
    HUGS!

  3. Kudos Mark! As I’ve said before, Lio is one of my all time favorite strips. Great work.

  5. thanks, guys! Still in CA! talk to ya soon!

  6. Congratulations Mark! Big time achievement for a big time guy.

  7. Lio? Never heard of it. What is it, some kind of astrology strip?

  8. If you spell LIO backwards, you get OIL, but Mark has definitely struck GOLD — Congratulations, Sir!!

  9. Way to go, Mark. Or as Lio would say:

  11. Aces Mark, I knew you were going to win, I just knew it. You are heads ans shoulders above the rest and now the whole world knows it. Take a victory lap, you earned it.

  12. Hey Mark! Awesome to meet you Saturday. Congrats!

  13. Lio is great and Mark’s win is well deserved, but one day his cartooning will reach the level of his karaoke skills, and then you’ll REALLY see something!

  14. Congratulations Mark. You deserve the award for best acceptance speech too.

  15. Mark, your acceptance speech was golden and I’m so very glad I was there to hear it. You, my friend, are the real deal. It should be obvious to everyone there that you love cartooning and love being a part of its community.

  16. I wish somebody would tell me what I said. I was sort of “in my cups” at the time. I didn’t swear, did I?

  17. Does that also mean you don’t remember the 8-year-old girl standing behind you on stage? :0)

  18. I wasn’t there for the speech, but sure enjoyed reading your blurb in “Stay Tooned” issue 3. Lio’s the highlight of the Sunday Funnies…heck, the whole darn newspaper! Congrats and keep em’ coming, Mark!!!

  19. Lio is simply puerile nonsense; waste of space.

  20. “Lio is simply puerile nonsense; waste of space.”

    As opposed to your work, I suppose.

  21. Actually the lack of puerile nonsense is what has made most comic strips lame. I’d take that as a compliment.

  23. I thought The Shining was pretty good.
