Jake Gets Some Respect
Seraphic Secret would like to extend a huge mazal tov to Jake Novak for being a finalist in the Los Angeles Press Club Awards for his wonderful weekly cartoon, "Shmooze or Lose: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Studio Executive."
Jake has been a good friend to Seraphic Secret from the time this blog went on-line three years ago. Jake's sharp comments and hysterical Ten Best lists have always illuminated our most overcast days.
In fact, Jake's sly sense of humor has given birth to this cyber-shorthand: JIASF.*
Here's the nomination page. Scroll down to the Editorial Cartoon category.
*Jake Is Always So Funny

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Thanks! And I hope you noticed this:
"This year's Award Gala will be dedicated to the late Cathy Seipp, a longtime member of and contributor to Los Angeles Press Club, who lost her battle to cancer in March of 2007."

Jake:
You're welcome. Well deserved.
And yes, the awards this year are dedicated to the memory of Cathy Seipp z'l, who was a close personal friend.

Hooray for Jake!
Do you have a new website where we not in LA can follow your strip?
Best,
VH

The first 20 strips or so are at www.schmoozeorlose.com Since then I have a new illustrator and 55 total strips. I am having trouble getting a good website manager.

The new illustrator is terrific, by the way.
