SQUIDDY: 1996 rec.arts.comics Awards: Miscellaneous (4/4)
Francis A Uy
Did Smash magazine campaign for the Squiddies? Hmm...probably not, but
several other Web sites did, and if someone voted only for that site and
its comic, and left the rest of the ballot blank, I didn't count the vote.
On a brighter note, congrats to all of this year's favorite RAC'ers. It's
pretty clear that the readers like frequent posters who do a lot of reviews.
I agree, online reviews are a helpful service, and I look forward to the
separate rac.reviews and rac.fandom newsgroups.

It's an honor to lose to these five, although I must once more bap
Francis with the "It's Van, not van" stick.
Mow, if only as many people as voted for the Squiddies would have voted
for the RACC awards, we could give Jeff McCoskey a nervous breakdown. Yay!
<Looks at results> Whew, I don't get to suffer the "d'oh!" of having
the person I voted for beat me by one vote. Waid...this was a 3-2-1 point
thing, wasn't it? Gah, the person I ranked #1 DID beat me because of my
vote! How mortifying! Heh.
Dave Van Domelen, actually not sure if he put Priest or Elayne first,
actually. And he doesn't really want it proven to him one way or the other,
Francis. }->

This post is only in response to the favorite RAC'er category. I'll post
responses to the rest of the awards separately.

Frequent posters, yes. But the #2 and 3 vote-getters don't really review
that regularly (and more's the pity, if you ask me).

Me too; apparently discussion has died down on the 2nd RFDs, so I guess

I guess there are people who don't know that "Hosun Lee = Vorpal Bunny"
and "Kitchen T = Tom Brevoort" and stuff like that. Francis, is it out of
your purview to combine these votes?

While I voted for Homage, I can't as though I'm surprised that DC ran away
with this one. Of course, when one considers Homage produced only three
titles in 1996, and so few actualy comics that one could count them on
one's fingers, I'd Homage didn't exactly lose either.

Why not just change the category's name to "Most Recent Comics Adaptation"?
While I'm no Marvel Zombie, I think the Spidey cartoon is far more
ambitious and respectful of the comics, and not just the recent ones. The
1970s stories from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN heavily influence the show.

I probably shouldn't say anything... but this gave me a real ego-boost. :)
I didn't get any votes last year, so it was a real charge to see my name on
the list at all. Of course, the fact that Randy Lander and I got the same
number of votes will perpetuate the myth that he and I are: the same
person/bonded at a spiritual level. :)
I think it's also worth noting that the only reason Tom Galloway went down
the list so much this year is that he "left" Usenet (ie - participated very
little).
Don MacPherson
wondering if he gets some sort of certificate... ;)

Spider-man one? That's why everyone gets a vote and we don't just
depend on your judgment.
I don't appreciate the implication that I voted for Superman
simply because it was newer when I find it's quality
much greater.

Thank you to everyone who voted for the NCRL site! You won't be able to link to

via the URL in my signature. This is, in two years of doing the new releases

I was particularly amused that Tony Isabella got three times as many votes
as Anthony Isabella. (There were a few others of these too.)
Michael C, didn't get a vote by any names :(

I find it strange that there are actually Web sites *campaigning* for
Squiddy awards. Some people are taking themselves a LITTLE too seriously,
IMHO...
: COMPANY/IMPRINT OF 1996
: 54 DC
Gotta agree here. Homage and Tapestry were both good companies to watch,
and I'm also intrigued at the goings-on at Valiant and Shadowline (I think
my vote for "Company/Imprint of '97" may go to one of those two), but DC
had a very solid year creatively, as far as I'm concerned.
: 04 Milestone
=snif=
: CHARACTER OF 1996
: 13 TOMMY MONAGHAN (HITMAN)
: 07 Jesse Custer (Preacher)
Proving people are still intrigued by ambiguous anti-heroes. Does this
shoot my "reconstructionist" theory all to hell? :)
Oh, and I want a breakdown by gender on the votes for these two. :) :) :)
: 06 Wally West (Flash)
And also for this one; betcha it's heavily female. ;)
: 04 Raquel Ervin (Rocket)
Bless you; three people besides me voted for Raquel! I hope y'all were

Remind me of this fact next year, and I'll give you a vote. I was really
struggling to come up with my favorites this year, across the board.

Keep that in mind come April 2. A subject line like SPIDER-BOY TEAM-UP
#1: Snap Critiques is on my wish list this year...
Hmmm...Dandy MacLanderson, anyone?

I'm thinking this accounts for Johanna and myself still being tied this
year, while dropping in votes; we both started taking abrupt leaves for
weeks at a time, and that hurts your chances with the "I can't think of
anybody--let me look around a bit" voters.
Frankly, I feel somewhat good about being lower on the list; there's
something eerie about outranking several pros that I found unsettling...

And for character of 1996 on rac, we have a man who shoots people for

This is exactly how I'd rank them. Vertigo has slipped a bit, actually;
some of its better titles are gone, and I'm not thrilled by the
replacements. I suppose 1996 did see Flex Mentallo, a great end to Swamp
Thing, and two last Sandman issues (the penultimate one lame and the final

Yecch. I don't begrudge Wally his bronze, but it's a shame that the
distant third is the first one I can stomach. It's particularly sad to
see Hitman, who seems to be nothing but a collection of "modern macho"

Gates is fantastic, but woefully underused. This is a vote I usually
tossed to Ultra Boy, primarily on the strength of his characterization in
the *last* continuity. This was the first year I felt they'd done too
little with him (except have him pine for Tinya, YAWN) to merit the vote.
I hope the hero of early v4 returns.
I voted for King Mob (big surprise), whom I liked even better after
Entropy in the UK than before.

This usually goes to the LSH for me, and there was enough good LSH work

*very* stiff competition for my vote of JLA continues to be as strong

You know, I like Astro City a lot, but I haven't gotten much out of the

"is your hero based on that"; a good lettercol should be thought-provoking
and entertaining, not a source of tidbits. (Then again, maybe the
unqualified and much-deserved praise was just too monotonous.) Invisible
Ink is always thought-provoking and entertaining, thanks to Morrison's

This am pathetic! Even adding them up to four, it's still about forty-

too numerous to mention, but Bizarro simply *must* be praised (or else

Yeah, except every time you point out the flaws in Bizarro logic (and
_wouldn't_ it be flawed?), he goes...uh...bizerrk.
That and his strange notion that the Modern Age Bizarros had green hair,
and that this would somehow damage the high, upstanding nature of
Bizarro's image.
The other people who make this group worth reading are
> too numerous to mention, but Bizarro simply *must* be praised (or else

Pfft. Snapper was entirely conceived by Chirstine Schooley as a little
gentle (as gentle as Christine can be) prodding of the guy. Granted, he
had a little problem with Mr. Carr prior to that, but there's a _very_
good reason he mentions him in every post these days.
And in case she's looking at this via a search engine, months later (like
I might have three months ago): Howdy Christine! Come back soon!
Then again, I suppose by *not* voting for
> him, we actually elected him favorite, so congratulations!
Heck, if he's _really_ Bizarro, he should have exposed himself to blue
kryptonite by now...Alan Moore had the right idea about an perfect
imperfect duplicate.

But Garth Ennis is a good writer, and creates and writes interesting
characters people care about.
I think "reconstructionism" isn't that popular in and of itself. It is just
that most of the writers to pioneer "reconstructionism" have been _really_
good. People like Alan Moore and Kurt Busik. People have come to associate
"reconstructionism" with great writing.
Eventually, "reconstructionism" will become a fad like "grim and gritty" did.
Then lots of mediocre writers will jump on board, and we will have tons of
mediocre, souless, neo-silver age stories and characters. And people will
start to blame "reconstructionsim" for ruining comics...
But they will be wrong. Shit is shit, no matter what color you paint it.

Three people wanted to vote specifically for that episode,
rather than the series as a whole. Fine by me. If you
want to think of it as 27 total votes for Supes, that's
also not a problem.

From which I assume that they won't be reposted.
Anyway, here are three mistakes I noticed.
The EQUEST-L mailing list was listed with an address that's two years
out of date. The correct one is eque...@elfquest.com. The list server
is on "listserv" at the same address.
For "best character," Molly (Books of Magic) *is* Molly O'Reilly.
And I also noticed Bizarro and Mazerki getting separate votes, though
others have commented on that.

So have mine. Yet Elayne, twice voted Miss Congeniality, stomped us both.
So, if Elayne gets ornery, she'll get even more votes?

I, for one, strongly recommend that the name of this category be changed to COMMENTATOR
vice JOURNALIST next year. For, while some of the above men are certainly entertaining

Possibly. I personally voted for Tao because no single character in
_Flex Mentallo_ really stood out from the others--Flex, the Hoax, the
detective, Wally Sage, the "Fact", and Lord Limbo really shared the
story completely among them, whereas Tao really stole the stage
whenever he appeared in WildCATs and set that title apart from all of
the other superhero titles I read in 1996.
Strangely, I didn't feel like voting for a character in a
non-superhero comic this year.

Rhetorical long bones, like the rhetorical femur and rhetorical tibia,
tend to rhetorically splinter. Rhetorical irregular bones are the ones
that rhetorically shatter. Rhetorically speaking.

Oh, it's loads of fun, trust me. Except that, last year, Elayne's
husband told me never to amalgamate with his wife again, and my dad had a
"the talk" with me about amalgamating after he found a copy of
SUPER-SOLDIER under my bed.
I'm kidding, of course.

Hey, it's not as if it's _my_ fault that Wabash Valley College doesn't
have a net presence, or that every newsserver I ever tried won't work
right.
Then again, the fact that I'm not as witty and charming anymore is
entirely my fault. Along with those depressants the doctors keep giving
me...

They write personal journal entries (a.k.a "weekly/monthly/etc. columns on
the industry or whatever else comes to mind"). They are definitely not
REPORTERS (as you are, apparently), but "journalist" certainly applies; it
has less of a connotation of reporting facts and more one of "expressing
fact-draped opinions" or "telling it like it is", especially when compared
to other "journalists" who turn up on TV news broadcasts, newspapers, "news"
magazines, etc., etc. :)
