Yes, I know it's not a cartoon, but isn't it shiny and ego-boosting? 

It's always nice to get an award, but this one in particular means something extra special to me as it's given out by my peers and voted for by the "madosphere", of which I have happily drawn cartoons for in the last few years. And gold no less, in the category of "Best Cartoon Blog". Runner-up went to Therapy Tales who I'm sure will beat me in 2011, as she is incredibly prolific at the moment, and very good. 

This might be a good point to take a break from Prozacville. After 4 years, 500 cartoons, and even a write-up in Jamie Magazine (woo-hoo) my  plan for now is to devote energies to an offline piece of prose, sheltered from the commentator-pleasing winds of the online gaze. So we'll see how that goes. 

Hope everyone is as well and as sane as they can be in this shiny, new(ish) year.

Hugs

I hate to abuse an old cliché, but it's been a long, long day

Orthorexia aside, please do consider going Soil Association Approved Organic on animal products. For a few pence more and a slightly limited choice with regard to what you can put in your gob, you do get to feel good (smug even) about the fact that you're allowing chicken, turkeys, pigs, cows and sheep to be treated with respect and kindness.

Yeah, I wish it was all pus and nonsense too.

I can smell burning flesh...
