I wonder if it would be a smart move to submit Rita as a last-minute entry for the Philip K. Dick awards. It’s an award for “distinguished science fiction published in paperback original form in the United States.” Which, I dunno, who thinks Rita qualifies as that? The growing number of glowing rejection letters from comics publishers have me starting to think it ain’t a comic book. (But that said I’m planning to submit it for the Eisners once those open up.) And PKD is the name I really do my best not to check when describing the overall story.
Maybe I’m insane.
