Well, the votes are in and the tally has been taken and Webcomicgeek’s best webcomic of the year goes to…Dresden Codak! Congratulations and continued success to Aaron Diaz! I was honored with the award for best artist of 2007 and I am absolutely tickled purple (tinged with shades of green, of course)! Here it is from the horse’s mouth:

Best Artist goes to Joe Infurnari for The Process. His art is truly spectacular and seems to go from strength to strength as the project develops. I don’t think I can add anymore to what I’ve said previously in my rather gushing review. However, it was the spectacular image on page 14 of chapter 2 that clinched it. The idea behind this comic nearly clinched a second award and along with Rebecca Sugar’s Pug Davis, made judging the originality and invention award really difficult.

This goes a long way to numbing the pain and bring sensations to the numbness! Thanks, Webcomicgeek! See you next year!

Adam McGovern of Comic Critique has this to say in his “Extended Flashback: 2007 in Review”:

Best Webcomic: the Process by Joe Infurnari
From the magic-mirror landing page to the meaningful creative-process background notes to writer/artist Infurnari’s fluid, free-associative storytelling, this is everything that inventive online art and mind-opening comics are meant to be.

Wow! What a nice surprise and a real honor. It’s very nice to have my work validated yet again. Thanks Adam and thank you Comic Critique! I have to go and put a salve on my swollen head!

Those fine folks over at Webcomicgeek, have nominated the Process for the Geekie award for best webcomic of 2007! It is an incredible honor to be included alongside such esteemed comics as The Perry Bible Fellowship. I am practically beside myself over it! It’s so nice to have this project validated in this way. Let’s face it, I’m toiling away here trying to purge my soul of this leviathan of a story with only the occasional comment, donation or T-shirt sale as my reward. It certainly is a labor powered solely by love, obsession and dedication. Any recognition by you, the reader, or a nomination such as this makes it that much better. So thank you, Webcomicgeek, and thanks to all of my faithful readers. Oh, and I can’t forget the Academy…and God…and Mom…and Dad…and ah, you’re all the best.
