2004 Squiddies Results (RAC.misc, RAC.marvel.universe, RAC.marvel.xbooks, RAC.dc.universe)
Carl Henderson
Well--here they are at last--as late as Kevin Smith book drawn by Joe
Madureira and published by Image. I wish I could blame Johanna, but I can't.
This is entirely my fault.
No fancy press release this time; I'm pretty well burned out. I strongly
suspect that this will be my last turn as a Squiddy administrator. Five
years is pretty much a record at the job (which I share with Johanna). I may
feel differently come November/December, but if not, I'll be back to run one
last election--for my sucessor.
We had a total of 90 votes, this year. That's a quite decent uptick in
turnout--thanks guys. It's the voters that make the Squiddies, and I don't
think I've thanked you all enough.
Now what for people care about--the results.

That's silly. First off, I hardly ever post anything here. Second,
how is it I don't count as a creator? Just because I haven't had any
comics work published for a few years?

Apparently at least one person was impressed with what you did post.

The Squiddies ballot defines creator specifically to recent comics work:
"For the purpose of these awards, a "Creator" is someone who has written,
illustrated, colored, lettered, or edited four or more professionally-
published comics in the last three years. Creators and Non-Creators alike
should be judged based on their contributions to the various rec.arts.comics
newsgroups, and not for their creative work or other outside-RAC*
activities."
Under that defintion, you are currently not a comics creator, and thus the
vote was correctly cast.

Ah. Thanks; I hadn't seen the official definition. It _has_ been
more than three years since I had _anything_ professionally published
in comics form, let alone four pieces.

We don't require that the votes make sense; only that they be correctly
formatted :)

It could have been a vote counting error...

That's it. I'm in. Just call me Bosley.
(Though the though of Hannibal, in particular, pulling a .45 magnum out
of...somewhere...while wearing a bikini is really going to keep me
laughing for hours.....)

So, are you going it alone next year, or are we expecting the Astonishing
Johanna to get over her snit in time for next year's ballot?

I burned out pretty bad this year. It's my fault entirely things were as
late as they were. I'll see how I feel come December, but I'm leaning
towards passing the torch on. Five years is probably a Squiddy record
anyway.

Actually, we're letting Emerald Samurai write it. I'm looking forward
to issue #3, where we all get merged into one being and find a Green

As always (I'm not sure, but I think I may be the only person to have gotten
a vote in every Squiddies so far. Dave Sim is the only other candidate I
can think of for such offhand, and I don't have time/resources to check just
now), thanks to whoever voted for me.
And despite the delays this year, thanks to Carl and Johanna for doing the
work and setting a longevity record for Squiddy Administrators. Even more
thanks for Carl offering to do the election for their successors if necessary;
traditionally I've been stuck with doing that. :-)
