Loose Parts Wins
NCS Reubens Award
2 years in a row!
(SEPTEMBER 2020) Loose Parts and Dave Blazek was awarded the 2020 Silver Reuben Award for Newspaper Panels at the National Cartoonists Society virtual award show.
The National Cartoonists Society is the world's oldest and largest association of cartooning professionals. The award is voted on by hundreds of the best cartoonists, illustrators, animators and industry pros working today.
Loose Parts also won the award in the same category in 2019.
To see the entire Reuben Award Day, go to NCSFest.com. If you'd like to see Dave's acceptance speech, look right on this page.
"I'm not sure words, or pictures, can adequately express how simultaneously gratifying and humbling this award is," said Blazek. "As someone who only began cartooning in middle age, I'm in awe by the giants and other pros who wander around the NCS. To be recognized by them leaves me flabbergasted. Really, I had my doctor check. My flabbergast levels are off the charts."
