Say your comic book won an Eisner Award for something, say, Best Publication For Kids or Cutest Redesign of a Jack Kirby Character, whatever. You’re definitely going to want to let everyone know about the honor, right? Now, what’s the best way of doing it?
There’s the standard strategy, of putting a blurb or tag about it on the cover, which Tiny Titans #20 employed…
…which is definitely effective. But surely there’s a better way to make sure your readers know that you totally won an Eisner. Perhaps by having it on panel for an entire page, as in this sequence from the issue, in which Alfred is shown dusting it while Robin and his friends ask if they can play in the Batcave?
But have they gone far enough? Perhaps to be on the safe side, they can have the Eisner Award gain sentience and start attending Sidekick Elementary School and hanging out in the Titans Treehouse with the rest of the kids.
(By the way, Tiny Titans #20 is awesome.)

So who are the people in the Photoshopped picture on the shelf beneath the trophy? Was that from the presentation?
I somehow missed the trophy when I was reading it to my daughter, but she asked about the picture.
