By the way, obviously I am completely in the bag for Kelly Thompson for Best Writer at the Eisners, but I still absolutely adore Mariko Tamaki's work, and we definitely should celebrate the fact that she is now the first female writer to win the Eisner for Best Writer THREE times! That's awesome!

Kelly Thompson is inching up the list of the most nominated writers to not win the Eisner Award for Best Writer, and that's total hogwash. I guess it'll have to happen in 2027.
