I won this award back when I was in school and it was amazing. Not only is getting a $5000 check while you’re in college a life-saver but attending the Reuben Awards is an amazing experience. The Reuben Awards are like the Emmys of the comic strip world. Attending the awards myself, I’ve had the honor to meet some incredible giants of industry like Joe Kubert, Stan Goldberg, Glen Keane, Eric Goldberg, Russ Heath, Al Jaffee, Tom Richmond, Jeannie Schulz, Sergio Aragones, Bill Amend, Cathy Guisewite, Patrick McDonnell, and many many more.
