The British Eagle Award Nominations came out today--or recently, anyway, but I just saw them today. And while IDW got jobbed as far as a nom for Best Publisher (somehow DC and Vertigo got separate nods for Best Pub), I did spot this little section:
10: Award for Favourite Editor
Well, how about that? Now, never mind the fact that I think I deserve to win just for spotting the typo in "Favourite" above... but if you need additional reasons to vote for me, consider these totally unbiased facts about the other nominees:
AXEL ALONSO: If you vote for him, Mephisto will just invalidate the vote anyway.
KRIS SIMON: The spelling of his first name is all wrong--can't have that in a Favourite [sic] editor.
THARG: Oh, c'mon, that's not even a real word.
TOM BREEVORT: Have we all forgotten Avengers Disassembled so soon? I think not. Also, even money that Tom is actually a Skrull.
So there you go, there's my campaigning. If elected, I promise to keep fellow Eagle Award nominees Ben Templesmith and Ashley Wood gainfully employed and productive. Also, I promise to keep things like ANGEL: AFTER THE FALL, LOCKE & KEY, STAR TREK comics by folks like John Byrne, and so much more coming out on time and with no ads running in the middle of the stories.
It would make me feel better about the heavy gunfire I had to dodge when I attended the Bosnia Comic-Con a few years ago, too.
So if any of that sways you, please, vote away:
Vote here! Vote Ryall!*
*I spared you from my 6th grade class president campaign slogan, "Be in style, vote for Ryall!"

I'll vote for you, although I do feel guilty about betraying Tharg!
Congrats to IDW on the Diamond Gem Award as well!
Andy
Aye aye sir! Just voted for you! ;)

Actually, "favourite" is the British spelling of the word (since the Eagle awards are British). They also spell color with an "ou" as well.
I voted for you anyway, though. ; )

That was actually just sarcasm on my part...
Best editor eh? Well, I suppose. I mean, you DID allow Beachcomber to get a starring role in the Blaster book...
...although frying his brains was probably your idea too. :P
Eh, what the hell, the vote's yours man! :)
Would've been nice to be able vote for IDW as best publisher there too.
get dave dorman on board at idw and you can have my vote and my first born.
no... apparantly my wife says you can't have our first born. sorry.
how about a half a shandy if you win?
"get dave dorman on board at idw and you can have my vote and my first born."
Working on it, really.
And no worries, one first-born is plenty for me already.
Already voted for ya!
I voted for Chris Ryall.
He's my favorite editour.
Tony
I have to vote for you, don't I? :(
"That was actually just sarcasm on my part..."
Ohhhhh. Heh heh. Roops.
I bet you'll be surprised to see that your little sister even knows about this!!
But just the same, I voted for you anyway!
Go Chrispy!!
