Moomin Volume One is up for a couple of Eisners this year--Best Publication for a Younger Audience and Best Archival Collection/Project/Strips. It seems like it doesn't stand a chance against the Peanuts juggernaut but I feel pretty good about it trouncing Alexa Kitchen. As editor of said series, I promise if Moomin wins I will give an excruciatingly long speech where I tear things up and tell everyone what-is-wrong-with-the-industry. Or I will give a mumbled "thanks." It could go either way. But really this is about a preview for the cover of the next volume and a way to bump the now obsolete APE news out of the top of the blog (although if you want to take this as me lobbying for the award, then you may.)
