<DIV>To draw a parallel to animation, weren't there MANY, MANY better Bugs Bunny
cartoons than "Knighty Knight Bugs" -- the only one to win an Oscar? As
with Don Rosa, Friz Freleng directed many Bugs Bunny cartoons that
were far better. Not to mention those by Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, Robert
Mc Kimson, etc. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>...But, that's the one that won an Oscar. So, I'm happy that Bugs and
Freleng won an Oscar, even if it wasn't their finest work. And, if Don
Rosa wins an Eisner for "The Black Knight Glorps Again", I will be happy for him
and for Gemstone. If you're a fan of this stuff, I'd think you'd
prefer the Eisner went to Rosa and/or Gemstone than having it go to someone
else, under any circumstance! </DIV>

<DIV>Awards work in mysterious ways, so let's enjoy 'em when we can get
'em. </DIV>
