The critics acclaim stuff id interesting and sometimes amusing.

I'm available.  How many categories? Dunno, I'm happy to pick up some slack if you get short but I'll start on three.
I'd like to do best completed comic, best horror and most deliciously offensive if possible.

Post here if you want to be a judge for the 2012 Drunk Duck Awards. Also include how many categories you feel like you can judge and any categories that you deem undesirable.

**Create Your Own Award
Didn't see the proper award for the comic/person you were thinking of on this list? Make one up. Create your own award and give it a winner. Best awards will be chosen by a dedicated team of judges. (This one is brand new so it will be very different. There really won't be anything to judge as far as comics go, we will just be going through the awards created and pick the ones we like. Best 5 or so. And these will be announced to the rest.)

i'd like to be a judge please
