Reuben Rabbits


Last week, the National Cartoonist Society 2012 divisional awards for the Reubens were announced and incredulously, my little feature was named as one of the nominations for Best Online Comic - Short Form. It's truly a great honor to be nominated.  The other nominations are the incredible Ten Cats by Graham Harrop and the fabulous Mac by the uber-talented Michael McPharland so my chances of winning are minuscule but I hope to be in Pittsburgh to see them collect the award.  By a weird coincidence, all three of us hail from the British Isles, live in North America and are syndicated on GoComics!  Michael also has homefield advantage being a Gotham resident.

Yet another shout-out for my favorite webcomic of all time, Laugh Out Loud Cats by the amazingly prolific Apelad.  The feature is currently up to #2229 and going strong (by comparison Rabbits Against Magic is only up to #1795).

Rabbits Against GoComic Gremlins

A sneak peak at Sunday's strip.  This is pretty much what my house looks like at the moment with a 21 month old toddler roaming around.

Surfin' Baby

Not sure why today's strip didn't load on GoComics but here it is for you to enjoy/groan at.
