That make five, one for each of his five human fingers. .

Congratulations again, Stan! We are very happy you were once again recognized for your outstanding skills.
Peace, maka

Thank you, Maka. I honestly did not expect to win. Lettering was the first award given out that night. By the time I went up to receive the award, give a short stumbling "thank you", have my photo taken, did a short interview, and returned to my seat, the waiters had taken my plate away.

Congrats Stan

Sorry to hear you lost out on your plate. The folks at your table should have told the waiters you were coming back. Do the nominated have to pay for their meals? Peace, maka

Ha! Great story! The high cost of fame!

Congratulations on another win!

And did you at least get a chance to take a photo of your Eisner meal before it was gone?

Congratulations on your Eisner win!

Congratulations on your reward!

Nominees are fed for free, but Dark Horse buys a couple of tables so I have been fed even when I was not nominated.

No, I did not photograph my food. We had pot roast and spicy catfish with jalapeño rice pilaf and the usual accompaniments.

Congratulations Stan!

Too bad about the missed meal - I'm sure someone else at the table didn't let it go to waste.

Thanks for the photo, that award is so cool looking! Congratulations Stan sensei.

Shadowfax

Congratulations Stan.

A tad late but congratulations on your win!
