chanson, January 19, 2025January 20, 2025

What an impressive batch of winners we’ve got this year!! This year’s collection includes some popular favorite creators who win something every year as well as some brand-new folks who have never won a Brodie Award before!! (If anyone can be said to have swept the awards this year, it would be Nemo the Mormon — which is only right considering that the poor guy got excommunicated and everything…)
