QC Nominated for British Eagle Award
« on: 21 Mar 2011, 06:20 »
I don't know if this is where this post should go, and if it's already somewhere else I apologise.

Questionable Content has been nominated for a 2011 Eagle Award for best Web Based Comic, along with Freak Angels, xkcd.com, Hark! A Vagrant! and Axe Cop.

If you want to vote for Jeph, yo can do so @ http://www.eagleawards.co.uk/nominations/.  Polling opened March 14th and the Awards are being presented London's MCMEXPO, May 27-29

Cool... I think.  

In the past, Jeph has stated that he holds such poll-based awards in very low esteem, for what I hope (as a math professor who teaches stats) are obvious reasons.  

So I guess it's good for what it's worth, but in all honesty, it's not worth much.  

Besides, I'm torn between QC and xkcd - they're very different, it's hard to pick a fave.  

@Odin - it doesn't.

It includes Axe Cop, but not Dr. McNinja?  :psyduck:

Poll officially sucks.

It is fun to see QC getting international recognition.

"Besides, I'm torn between QC and xkcd - they're very different, it's hard to pick a fave."

I totally agree. Don't bother. Enjoy each for what they are.
    - In xkcd we don't really care about the characters. Mr. Munroe does humor from a completely different (and wonderfully twisted) standpoint
    - In QC it is all character driven. The interactions between them is a source of humor and pathos.

As far as International Awards go....

Doing what you enjoy and it puts money in the bank is ABSOLUE PROOF of sucsess!

I do.  Along with about 25 other comics.  But you can only vote for one in that poll!

Yeah, well this isn't a peer review.  It's an extroadinarily bad form of a popularity contest with the most biased form of sampling in existence! 

But if you wanna participate, go for it.  I can't decide in the one category I know, and I know nada of the other categories. 

And I think Jeph doesn't care!

If Jeph wins, can we expect a guest spot in QC for Dan Dare? I mean, has anyone ever heard of any other Eagle comic character?

I had a subscription to The Eagle as a young child in the 1950s.

Oh man, I love xkcd, QC, hark, a vagrant, and Axe Cop (although Odin, I agree that Dr. McNinja is better than Axe Cop).  Hmm.

<checks Wiki list> I've heard of Captain Pugwash and Harris Tweed. Not sure how well they'd fit into QC, especially Captain Pugwash...

well he always a bit rotund

Naturally the first scientist won.
