Funny Funnies

My Fellow Comedists,

This weekend the Reubens are announced. Named for Rube Goldberg, the Reubens are the awards of the National Cartoonists Society. Awards are given in thirteen categories from feature length animation to greeting cards. You can see all the nominees here.

From Saturday morning Scooby Doo for kids to The New Yorker for sophisticates, cartoons have become an accepted part of the comedic landscape. In any cartoon medium, what is the funniest cartoon you remember?

Congrats to all of this year's Reuben winners.

Live, love, and laugh,

Irreverend Steve
