The Sparky Award, given by the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, is named after Charles M. Schulz. This year the Sparky Award has been given to none other than Gene Colan. As I pointed out a couple of weeks ago, Gene is seriously ill, but he’s been feeling well enough for a trip to California. After Gene’s been back home for a few days maybe I’ll give him and Adrienne a call to offer my congratulations.
One of the first Web pages I ever composed, back in 2002, was about Gene Colan. You’ll find it at this link.
I didn’t know you didn’t know, Monte! But now that you know, I’m glad Gene Colan has won it.
Good Lord, Monte! You’ve got to be kidding!
Sparky award? How come I never hear about this stuff???
