Iron Circus: Two Out of Five is 40%.

July 17, 2006

Two Out of Five is 40%.

That is a failing grade.

If this were in a pop quiz in high school biology about cell mitosis, I would not pass. Nothing new there.

But this isn't a pop quiz. It's the Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards. And Templar, Arizona won in the Outstanding Character Writing and Outstanding Character Design categories. You can see the full list of winners here.

Also, I found a whole bunch of torrents of BBC documentaries about ice mummies. So it's shaping up to be a really good day on all fronts.

For everyone who voted for me, thank you from the bottom of my blackened, shriveled heart. I was up against some killer competition on all fronts, I'm shocked I came away with anything at all. I have this really good, just-got-off-the-rollercoaster feeling in my stomach, and I'll probably have it for hours.

Then, back to telling myself no one reads my comic and everyone secretly hates it. You know, business as usual.

I hate your comic. I hate it so much. And no one ever reads it. Especially not me. I haven't read it even once!

No! Winning is 100%! So winning in two categories is 200%!

SWEET. And, shoot, look at the company you're keeping. High fives!

So, at which stage of division have the centromeres replicated and the nuclear envelope dissolved?

That's awesome, Spike. I'm sure you realize it's awesome, but I want to be sure I've publicly declared it as such myself. S'awesome.
