2005 Ignatz Awards<\/a><\/p>\nI’m glad to see that Roger Langridge and Josh Cotter are finally getting some recognition. If you don’t own the Fred the Clown<\/strong> collection (by Langridge) or Skyscrapers of the Midwest<\/strong> #2 yet, you should go out and buy them immediately.<\/p>\nI’m surprised by how few folks chose to debut books this year. As I’m debuting a solo mini-comic and am also included in a mini-comics anthology, I’ve got two nominations in the “Outstanding Debut” category. I’m guessing “True Porn” vol II will win…’cause it’s got humping and stuff in it.<\/p>\n
