This was honestly one of the best moments of my career AND life. Receiving an Inkpot means more to me than receiving an Oscar. Thank you Eddie and everyone at @Comic_Con International for adding me to this prestigious list of folks whose works inspired me: https://t.co/WlDUw6WdJC https://t.co/N9mvmuXa4Y

That trophy is so cute. And hurrah for the winners!
That is an ADORABLE trophy. Congratulation to all the winners!
Jason Lutes of “Berlin” fame – awesome! Plus all the other folks, of course. 😉 But wow, I sometimes wonder if I’m the only one reading X or Y, and Lutes’s “Berlin” is one of those things. So I’m very happy to see Lutes get recognition.
[ETA: I’v never (methinks) mentioned “Berlin” here since it’s not SFF.]
