Eisner Awards

The 2007 Eisners were announced yesterday, and I am very happy to see Alison Bechdel's name all over them, as she writes my favorite strip, Dykes to Watch Out For. Her non-fiction graphic novel about her father, Fun Home, topped several "best book" lists this year, including being chosen as Time Magazine's #1 book of the year.

Alison/Fun Home is nominated for Best Writer/Artist, Best Graphic Album - New, and Best Reality-Based Work.

I, personally, would like to thank Alison for helping me survive my last year of college at Concordia University. Trying to come out at age 19 at a small, Lutheran college was terrifying, and her books made me feel far less alone.

Other books/writers/artists I'm rooting for:

Best Publication Design
Castle Waiting graphic novel, designed by Adam Grano (Fantagraphics)

Best Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team
Niko Henrichon, Pride of Baghdad (Vertigo/DC)

Best Graphic Album-Reprint
Castle Waiting, by Linda Medley (Fantagraphics)

Best Reality-Based Work
I Love Led Zeppelin, by Ellen Forney (Fantagraphics)

Best Continuing Series
The Walking Dead, by Robert Kirkman and Charles Adlard (Image)

Frinklin Sez: I like Robert Kirkman, and I read Walking Dead every so often, but c'mon, you might as well give All-Star Superman the win right now.

Watch that come back and bite me on the ass in a couple months.

Comments

Hello this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Steve! Many thanks for your comment! I hope the tips help!

In the eighties Dr. Cham founded Glycoalkaloid Cancer Research looking into other potential BEC5 benefits along with its amazing effect on cancer. He conducted human studies involving keratoses, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinomas along with other skin lesions resulting in a regression of 100% of the skin lesions. Dr. Cham patented the production process for his Curaderm cream and continued his research. At this point in time it was realised that many of his patients have been cancer-free for 10 years or more.

30 years ago Dr. Bill Cham heard about a cow which had halted a growing skin cancer on its eye by rubbing itself against the leaves of the Devil's Apple Plant. He soon went on to discover the effects of the plant's active ingredient Glycoalkaloid solasodine glycosides (known as BEC5) and its biochemical potential in destroying skin cancer cells and it's anti-cancer activity in humans and animals. Solasodine Glycosides are from the same family of active constituents that also occurs naturally in Eggplant.

The cancer destroying capacities of Dr Cham's Curaderm-BEC5 has been well documented by medical journals worldwide. Curaderm BEC5 has an excellent and successful history in humans and the results are consistent that Curaderm and its active ingredient, BEC, when used according to the manufacturer instructions is completely safe.

@AnuragI completely agree with you about the post being a personal attack on dannys intention, which is wrong. But the author has a right to his POV, just like we do, completely deriding him is not called for. For a film maker who weaves such layers into the characters of his films, you have shown very little lateral movement and flexbility in ur thinking. kinda makes me sad really. I did respect u alot before ur comments here. If there is even the slightest chance dat the success of one film has gone into ur head.take a shower and reboot manwe want u to be successful but an arrogant sob, will fall flat on his face sooner than later. I wud hate to see that happen.Just as opinion, take it in the right spirit.

My spouse and i felt lucky that John managed to carry out his analysis from the ideas he obtained in your blog. It's not at all simplistic to just happen to be freely giving tips which often a number of people might have been trying to sell. So we do know we have got the website owner to appreciate for this. The entire illustrations you made, the simple website navigation, the relationships you make it easier to create - it is mostly sensational, and it is aiding our son and our family feel that this subject is excellent, and that is especially essential. Thank you for the whole lot!

Ok. La echipe mixte ne-am clasat pe ultimul loc in clasamentul oficial anul acesta. Iar daca ne uitam in spate, in 2007, timpul obtinut la jumatatea traseului este fix cu 30 de secunde mai mare. Ei si ? Timpul pentru cei in suferinta nu s-a oprit inca si continua sa conteze secunda cu secunda.

Nurse practitioners are registered nurses who hold advanced positions in medical establishments and facilities. While they perform the same duties as registered nurses, they concentrate more on admin and supervision work, as well as assistance in treating rather complex medical conditions. Because of the advanced work requirements and responsibilities, nurse practitioners are thus provided with highly comfortable compensation for their service.
