One of the big pieces of news over the Memorial Day weekend was the announcement of the Reuben awards, given every year around this time by the National Cartoonists Society. The top winner was Bill Amend who won the Cartoonist of the Year title for his formerly weekly, now Sunday-only, comic strip Foxtrot. Other winners include editorial cartoonist Mike Ramirez and Pearls Before Swine creator Stephen Pastis and Gene Yang for American Born Chinese. Editor and Publisher has a run-down of the event and various winners here.
