Well, the post says it all.
I was reading Comics Worth Reading this morning and came across the Harvey Awards nominations list. I was only casually skimming the list when I came to the On Line Comics Work category.I had assumed that nominees got a heads up about their nominations, so it was a bit of a pleasant surprise to see The Chelation Kid nominated.
The full list of nominations follows:
The 2007 Harvey Awards Nominees have been announced with the release of the final ballot, presented by the Executive Committees of the Harvey Awards and the Baltimore Comic-Con. Named in honor of the late Harvey Kurtzman, one of the industry’s most innovative talents, the Harvey Awards recognize outstanding work in comics and sequential art. They will be presented September 8, 2007 in Baltimore , MD , in conjunction with the Baltimore Comic-Con.
