Mad twanging rainbows up above

Well, well, a couple of blogs have picked up on the mini-cartoons already. I had a look around them and the toon does seem to fit quite nicely. We were a little worried about legibility but that doesn't seem to be a problem.

So what's in the news? Well, The Harvey Awards nominations have been announced. The awards, named after Mad magazine founder Harvey Kurtzman, are run by the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art. A full list of nominations is available at The Comics Reporter. Of course, they don't seem to recognise online comics or cartoons, except for Komikwerks but I think that's because it's largely publisher based. Anyway, that's what The Web Cartoonist Choice Awards are for. Nomination rounds are beginning on May 8 and only webcomic creators can make nominations. You're unlikely to see BifSniff Cartoons in there but they do have a short form category, so we can't claim we're being hard done by or anything. Which is a pity because I do like being bitter about things and lately I've been disturbingly upbeat.

As it's the start of another month, I'm going to make a little plea that if you like our funny cartoons, please vote for us at Buzzcomix. Votes count extra at the start of the month and maybe we'll pick up some extra traffic. Vote every day if you like, there's even a button across the way to make it seem all formal and organised.

And now I leave you with a clip from a Rainbow - a show I used to watch as a kid. It might explain a few things.
