Why, just last year Bill Amend won the Reuben after ending the two-decade daily run of "FoxTrot". I'm not saying that Amend wasn't deserving of the award at some point during his career, I'm just saying that it was not coincidence that it came after his big semi-retirement announcement. Still, I'm going to break from you guys and predict that Dave Coverly will be the one taking home the Reuben this weekend. He and Piraro both lost to Amend last year, and I personally think that he is one of the best single-panel cartoonists currently in papers. Piraro is as well, but my gut says to go with Coverly, and that's what I'm doing. “Dewey Defeats Truman: The Comic Strip” Josh, that is simply one of the greatest comments I have read here.

It's not supposed to be. We have the Caniff for that. The Reuben goes to the cartoonist who in the opinion of the NCS membership, has done the most exceptional work in the past year. In the past as awards chairman I tried to stress this to the chapters who were voting on division awards as well. You just hope some of it sinks in. ≥≥As respected as the Ruby is, it is often a “lifetime acheivement” award.
