This is pretty cool, and I didn't know a thing about it until I saw an entry at crowhen, cartoonist Rachel Neighbor's LJ. I am a nominee for a Friends of Lulu Award in the "Women of Distinction" category, the dark horse candidate against two DC editors, Karen Berger and Joan Hilty. Get thee to the site and vote! You don't have to vote for me (or maybe you do), but if you're a supporter of indie comics and what we contribute to the industry, especially as far as encouraging girls and women to make and read comics, it would be quite the statement.

That's the campaign slogan: A vote for Jennifer de Guzman is a vote for indie comics! Or independence, if you will.

Votes are due by June 30! Tell your friends.

Don't know what Friends of Lulu is? Here it is, straight from their site: "Friends of Lulu is a national nonprofit organization whose purpose is to promote and encourage female readership and participation in the comic book industry."
