Yes, we know that there is only one Reuben Award, the big one, but for the sake of a headline, here are the NCS divisional nominees.
This is the first time the NCS Awards have recognized webcomics, a welcome and inevitable move towards modernization. The choices—The Oatmeal, Penny Arcade, and Scenes from a Multiverse(above)—aren’t too groundbreaking but they are all good strips.
The winners will be announced Memorial Day weekend at the annual NCS meeting, to be held this year in Las Vegas.
