Hugo Awards… winner?

I am pretty dazed right now. The news that Girl Genius won the Hugo Award for best Graphic Novel came in the middle of game night. Everything after became this blurry hodgepodge of fantasy.

Now it’s hours after, and the reality is settling in. The Hugo. I won… a Hugo.

What… what do I do now? It feels like I’m supposed to be DOING something. There will be no sleeping tonight.

F**k … a Hugo.

I think you’re supposed to sit there in bed, polishing it lovingly. The award, I mean.

Hey, you really deserve it. The awesome colouring you do for GG really adds a lot to it. It would be a sad day indeed if you were to stop doing it.

I assume you’re going to be doing the colouring for GG Volume 1?

Congrats anyway!

Ain’t it grand? That’s got to be one of the best feelings in the whole world, for anyone in science fiction and fantasy. And you all totally earned it! Bask in the glow and soak up memories for later.
So amazingly cool. Way to go!

All the Best, Peg

Came to post congratulations.

Cannot leave without noting the humor of the words:

“What… what do I do now? It feels like I’m supposed to be DOING something. There will be no sleeping tonight. F**k … a Hugo.”

appearing just above a picture of a giant gold… well, you know. Something you could literally… Yeah. :D

Anyway, it’s awesome and deserved. Congrats!
