In case you missed it, Stan won the first award last night. Best Lettering: Stan Sakai, Usagi Yojimbo: Senso, Usagi Yojimbo Color Special: The Artist (Dark Horse)
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.

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

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 from me too, stan!sorry too about the missed meal;)
that's like a symbol for life in a way...you won, experienced unexpected success for your work...but at the same time had to lose a delicious meal;(....
