2010 Reubens on the Hudson!

posted 5.27.10 at 12:00 am
This year the National Cartoonist Society's Reuben's awards are being held right in my backyard, just over the Hudson river in Joisey.
This is always a great weekend, as it's basically a who's who in the cartooning industry.  
Part of the festivities are the annual 'Reuben Awards'.  What the Oscar is to movies, the Reuben is to cartooning.  This year, two great pals of mine, Tom Richmond and Ray Alma (1st time conventioneer AND nominee!), are both nominated for the same category!  That'll be a nail-biter...
