I said it at the beginning that this year's topic was a dream one for me. I think after doing these for 10 years now I always knew this subject of favourite classic cartoonists would eventually come up. And so it did. And so thank you, thank you sir. You did well once again my friend. Very well indeed!

I was just for fun comparing my list to all the other participants and it looks like it is the highly esteemed mwgallaher with I share the most in common as far as choices of classic cartoonists go with a big 4 of our picks being in common. That's a full quarter of 'em. Pretty interesting: Everett, Kirby, Ware and Wolverton. Fletcher hanks and Jack Cole were incidentally on my near misses.

This was a particular good year. Lots of great entries and write-ups! I learned a few names and got hammered in a few names I really have no excuse for not knowing better by now.
I will confess I am surprised when I have unique votes, as I consider my tastes more mainstream than eclectic, and I tend to vote American. Nobody else voted for Craig Thompson or Tanaka. But what really surprises me is Bryan Talbot. He strikes me as an excellent artist who I'm sure is quite popular. I was not expecting him to get no other votes.

Not to pull out the mathematician card, but it's even better than that. You shared a full third of your choices! |

He really only has two major works in the time period*, but they're both fairly important and different enough from each other to attract a different audience. * Alice in Sunderland was later, right? |

Thanks for doing this again this year, Kurt, and for all your hard work compiling those stats. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Classic Comics Christmas events are one of the best things about the season for me. But what really surprises me is Bryan Talbot. He strikes me as an excellent artist who I'm sure is quite popular. I was not expecting him to get no other votes. Talbot would've definitely been on my list for Alice in Sunderland, had it been eligible. |

I shall add my voice to the chorus of thanks, Kurt! This was lots of fun, and I got to meet a whole mess of new cartoonists to obsess over!

Sorry I didn't realize this had gone up, Kurt. Belated thanks and congratualtions on another fun entertaining and informative event. I especially love reading everyone's reasons, which are a wonderful blend of intellect and emotion.
Just wondering if it might be at all helpful to you if in the future the participants were to post and/or send to you their final rankings so that you could just copy and paste them. Or would it be even better to simply set up a thread for those where we just post them after the event?
I summon the meaning-well buttinsky!

I know Cei-U is a step ahead of the rest but why is this thread Classics Christmas 2016? Shouldn't it be 2015?  |
