In a stunning upset victory, Pandomag.com's cartoonist and creator of the popular net comix, Where's My Slice?, JOHN X.AMBROSAVAGE won Cartoonist Northwest's 1999 "Political Cartoons" Toonie Award over rival nominees Jack Ohman and Matt Wuerker. Mr. Ambrosavage was resplendant in a black undershirt, midnight-blue freshly laundered dress shirt, black slacks that had been pressed at some point in their history, and a lovely camel-haired jacket which actually belonged to an old girlfriend who as luck would have it wore a perfect mens size 40 sports jacket - not that she wore them often. In his acceptance speech Mr. Ambrosavage stated: "I want to thank all the little people: the elves, the leprachauns, the gnomes....I also want to especially thank my imaginary friend Bob without whom this would not have been possible."

The annual Toonie Awards were held this past Saturday night at the fabulous Yankee Dinner "house of good grease and even better gravy" in Ballard, and were hosted by the PI's ebullient Steve Greenberg, who owns his own tuxedo. Nationally syndicated cartoonist Brian Basset gave the keynote address and spoke very movingly of the pain, the loneliness, and the sadness experienced by a long-distance cartoonist - especially one that lives in Issaquah! The over-all "Cartoonist of the Year" Toonie Award went to Roberta Gregory for her fine feature "Bitchy-Bitch" which was immediately cancelled by The Seattle Weekly.
