have you considered adding more explosions?

The Meters, and the rhythm section of George Porter Jr & Zigaboo in particular, are the perfect illustration of the concept of it's not just the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play. The intro to "Just Kissed My Baby" is just one example of this.

I liked the Axe-Man of New Orleans one a lot.

SPX was lucky enough to have multiple international guests with no incidents. A number of Canadian cartoonists did decline to attend this year.

Phew. Okay, so, this is tough.

I can't afford to pay for the surgery my beloved Eugenides needs to save his mouth from severe inflammation and infection. I'm chronically underpaid by my day job and already struggling financially.

Should we just exempt you from future nominations? I do enjoy making cartoonists cry, though.
