Eclectic bunch isn’t it.

hehe..indeed.
A couple of worthy winners in there though.
It’ll be interesting to see the result…

All a bit silly though. How can Matt be “better” than Bell? Or vice versa.

Well, in fairness, this award and others are for Cartoonist of the Year, and not Best Cartoonist of the Year.
February 27, 2009 at 17:58 |
Umm… The difference?

Is there not a difference there?
I think so.
Cartoonist of the Year is awarded to someone whose work has made a particular impact that year. Either as a body of work, or something else.
Like you say, it’d be silly to say that fore example Matt is a better cartoonist than Bell, or the other way around.
And if it was best cartoonist, you couldn’t not have the likes of Peter Brookes and Martin Rowson – or indeed your good self – on the shortlist.

Got it. You’re quite right Morten. As in Parliamentarian of the Year. Not necessarily the best. Anyway, yes, will be interesting to see who wins – and why…
