  2. BTW- You have Online Long Form listed twice.

  3. I attended the Rueben awards as a fan this year. My wife went to school with a board member, and I perked up when I heard Ruben Award.
    I had so much fun meeting the artists, and Learned new things like “Medical Cartooning”, and some history at the sessions. It was fun meeting almost all of the Rueben Nominees, and thanking them for the years of entertainment, and I got some drawings at the breakfast. If you get a chance to go, do it.
