Jake Wins!
Mazal Tov to Seraphic Friend Jake Novak for winning the LA Press Club Award for his comic strip "Shmooze or Lose."
Click here for the link, scroll down to "D$ Editorial Cartoon" for the citation and comments.
Jake is a frequent Seraphic Secret commenter and contributor; his words always provide a unique perspective on all things social, and political.
Most of all, Jake's insights into the connection between Jane Austen and Kabbalah have been nothing short of ground-breaking.
Just kidding.
Truly, this award is well deserved. We are proud that Jake is our collegue, our friend. And as we all know JIASF.*
*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.
Mazel Tov, Jake. This should look pretty good on your resume...and maybe some comedy show producers will now look at you and your work a little closer...at least I hope so.

Thanks so much. Yes, this award is opening a lot of doors. I just got a confidential call from the head of Sony Pictures who tells me my award and $2 will get me on the subway.
But seriously, it's great to get the recognition, and my agent actually did send out my latest packet to a comedy show with the award notification/highlighted, etc.
