Shouldn’t it be called “Person of the Half-Year Award” since it’s the beginning of July?

When it comes to “Pearls,” I doubt there is a single person more important than the cartoonist. Certainly a well deserved tribute to himself.

The only award he’s going to get is the one he will step in, which is less of an award and more of a consequence of hanging around with a bunch of animals that don’t wear pants.

and just like ’Time’s’ award it means about as much.

I’m betting this was originally drawn when Pastis one the Ruben for comic strip of the year. Fits the way he works. He does strips months in advance of when they actually run. Their timely when he draws them but not when they run

Poor goat, pig and rat. They can’t qualify for Person of the Year Award, even if they deserve it! Discriminated against just because they aren’t human. Oh, the shame of it all…

I thought it was for Goat, but I guess that would have been realistic rather than dubiously humorous.
