If you are a professional in the comic book field, this would be a good time to take a moment and vote online in the Eisner Awards.
Subtle hint: In the category of "Best Archival Collection/Project — Strips," you might want to pick Pogo, vol. 2: Bona Fide Balderdash, by Walt Kelly, edited by Carolyn Kelly and Kim Thompson (Fantagraphics). Why? Because comic strips don't get any better than that.
