Random Quickie: Marlo Meekins
Marlo Meekins is a Silver Nosey winner. I had never heard this award before, but it is apparently awarded to excellence in caricatures. It’s not hard to see why she won. Caricatures, though, aren’t her only strength. Whether she’s illustrating young girl anxieties, her love for Adventure Time, the sexual politics of farting, her struggles with Internet addiction, or just being a plain old goofy gus, Ms. Meekins is guaranteed to deliver delightfully funny yet elegant illustrations that have verve and style to spare.

I dunno, I really admire her art, but the gags just stink of Tumblr cliches; for example the one about the internet has been done to death, and most of the her observational comedy smells faintly of SYAC if you ask me. On the other hand she at least approaches them with a bit of style, which makes it a little more readable to someone who dislikes Tumblr.
