FYC page InkyMoonDrop: The comic features several characters talking in an office environment. Panel One: Each year, there's some people who leave fields of the voting form blank because they simply have no idea what to nominate for all the categories. Which is why this year we're doing an actual For Your Consideration page and recommend ten comics to read in most categories. Panel 2: Cool! Where's ours? And Exposure? Could you scroll down, chief? I cant' see them here. Panel 3: We made a promise last year that we won't self-promote this time. So we'll miss out on the votes, big deal! It's the right ting to do, Shane! Panel 4: Yeah. That's the reason. We won't win anything. Not that we have 2 likes after 66 pages and a feature. 'Cause you know...most here just don't think we're funny. At all. People of Russia must love it! It just goes by different name there. With a different cast. Panel 5: So what, we're gonna vote for comics from this list of yours? What about other works? Isn't the point to have more people participate with more comics to win those Drunk Duck Awards? Panel 6: We'll urge everyone who'd like to see their own comics voted on in some categories to make FYC pages! And of course this list is not comprehensive at all! Your comic must have enough pages for volunteers to judge (since summer of last year) AND the comic must update during April or May this year for it to be eligible! We'll only know in April or May if a comic is truly eligible for our vote! Below the panels there is a chart of different categories from the awards and Inky's suggestions for nominations.

The first #DrunkDuckAwards FYC page has arrived! @robinholden.bsky.social decided to create a large reading list of multiple comics.

Spreadsheets are fun!
