1998 Squiddy Awards

Compiler: Kirby Krueger (kirbyk@best.com)

Note: Pete Abrams, creator of the Sluggy Freelance web-comic, requested that he and his creation be disqualified from consideration in all categories (due in large part to his heavy campaigning based on the mistaken impression that the Squiddies were a web poll--which skewed the results, even to the point of giving him a win or near-win in categories that had nothing to do with his comic). Since there was no way to separate solicited from unsolicited votes, all votes for Mr. Abrams and Sluggy Freelance were removed by Mr. Krueger from the final official tally.

[No Award] indicates that the voter thought there was no one/nothing deserving an award in that category during the year.

[Note: Sluggy Freelance (www.sluggy.com) won this category by a phenomenally large margin before Abrams withdrew it from the awards. Various regular r.a.c.* participants indicated that they had legitimately voted for it, so it's reasonable to assume it would have placed well regardless of campaigning improprieties]
