As I predicted, the comic is late. However, it could have been much later. So there's that. I went to Ottawa, and I actually won a Prix Aurora Award for Fan Filk. West of Bathurst didn't win in the Graphic Novel category, but then, I didn't expect it to. (This is the kind of thing you're not allowed to say before awards are handed out lest everyone accuse you of being a pessimist.) I am happy to tell you that the award went to Alina Pete's Weregeek, of which I am particularly aware because it tends to appear just above West of Bathurst in lists. It's also been around for just about as long as West of Bathurst (minus a few months). Coincidentally enough, Pete published this comic on Friday. So if you're wondering what the heck is up with this whole filk thing, there's now an award-winning comic that will explain it to you. |

Panel 1: Marie is in an airport bathroom, gazing into the mirror. Marie [thinks]: Once I get back, I have to talk to Casey. Panel 2: Marie [thinks]: I really, really don't want to talk to Casey. Panel 3: She glances towards the stalls. Panel 4: Evil Marie stands outside a bathroom stall as Marie cowers inside it. Evil Marie: So now we're back to you locking yourself in the bathroom to avoid talking to Casey, are we? Marie: Well, sometimes he locks me in. Alt-Text: This is my reaction to stressful situations as well. I think it's because I'm so very introverted. At least the bathroom stall doesn't have anyone but me in it. Go to commentary |
