Introducing...Dustin
The National Cartoonists Society handed out the Reubens recently. Richard Thompson (Cul de Sac) won for Outstanding Cartoonist, beating out Stephen Pastis and Glen Keane. The comic strip Dustin won for Outstanding Newspaper Comic Strip and The Flying McCoys won Outstanding Newspaper Panel Cartoon. A full list of winners can be seen here.
We've showcased many strips here that were nominated for the Reuben but we've never featured Dustin so here we go.

What? When was the last terrorist attack in America? May 10, 2010 when a man tried to use a pipe bomb to blow up a mosque. He failed. Before that? The Christmas Day or Underwear Bomber in 2009. Also unsuccessful. Jim Doherty, quit trying to scare us.
Everything he's doing is kind of dangerous and since it is just a blinking turn signal, I don't think it's worth getting into a car wreck.
Oh, no. It appears that Drinky Crow has finally drank himself to death.
Ha! Well, it's about time Momma learned that the people who work in banks are soulless. Even the tellers. They are the worst.
Brutus, you go into a fancy restaurant by yourself so the waiter is probably thinking you are waiting for the rest of your party because who in the hell goes to a fancy, sit-down restaurant by yourself?
