B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for July 07, 2013

That would not be it Im sure.

I imagine that Brian Crane and Rick Kirkman (whoever they are) know what this is about and what those shish-kebab things in the last panel are… But I have no idea.

Hilarious!!

Brian Crane- Pickles

Here’s a site with a photo of the award from 2011 http://comicsbeat.com/2011-reuben-award-winners/

They are indeed Reuben Awards and the topper was added as a nod to the winners, a pickle and a pacifier.

A pickle and a pacifier?Oh – I just read the comment above.Pickles and Baby Blues?

ah, in-joke for comic industry. I follow some comics, but not the industry

Awards, Awards, everywhere but nothing to do with this strip…

A comic strip is like a joke…. if you have to explain it, it’s no good.

Worthy winners. Dogs of C Kennel would have been worthy, too. And Arlo and Janis.

I faithfully read both Pickles and Baby Blues daily. Well deserved. Love the originality of the award ka-bobs.

I’m not too certain if it was their finest achievement. They didn’t send home brewed beer with it.

Pickles and Baby Blues are both deserving, but if anyone has been following Dick Tracy, it CAN’T be far behind. I hope they get their due soon. Kudos to B.C. for the salute today. It’s nice to see artists honor their own.

B.C. was ahead of its time. Even then they were using tablets to communicate.

“Baby Blues?? Hardly award winning in MHO. Not my cup of tea. Not funny or well drawn, just not my cup of tea I guess, to each their own.”-We disagree.Hammy and Zoe are wonderfulThe humor is great.And then there’s Earl in Pickles, my kind of guy.

thanks for the explanation, friends.the strip today made no sense without your helpnow all is well again
