Slate’s Cartoonist Studio Prize selects 10 comics each in the print and digital categories, and the 2016 short lists have just been announced. As usual its a fine list of comics. Short lists were compiled by Slate Book Review editor Dan Kois, CCS Fellow Noah Van Sciver and guest judge, Caitlin McGurk. The prize is presented in conjunction with CCS each year, and the winners get a $1000 cash prize. The winners will be announced on April 6.
