Default Gail made a Hall of Fame!

Apparently Gail's career is winding down and now is in the Friends of Lulu Hall of Fame!

I am going to miss her.

She was a pioneer for both women in comics and male nudity in comics.

Yeah, thank you!

I don't normally make a big fuss about awards but this is very nice to receive, particularly given the distinguished panel of judges. Very cool!

Thank you, FoL!

Why is everyone talking like she's about to retire? She will write forever for it is my will.

Congrats Mrs. Simone.

Gail wrote stuff after she left The Simpsons? And got rewarded for it? Why wasn't I aware of this?

Anyway, good for her!

Well, it's not like she made it into the ORCA Hall of Fame, but I suppose it's nice enough...
