Okay, the deadline has passed, and the number of submissions in our jury this year is about 30. A good number, don't you guys think? At any rate, we'll be ganging up in Atlanta on the last Saturday in March to give 'em a good going over. All you NCSers leave that day (and the appropriate travel time) open, y'hear?

Greg, your chairman

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Doug Marlette, the North Carolina-born cartoonist who won a Pulitzer Prize and created the popular strip "Kudzu," was killed in a car accident Tuesday morning in Mississippi, authorities said. He was 57.

Marlette, who joined the Tulsa (Okla.) World last year, was the passenger in the car, which struck a tree after skidding on a rain-slicked road, said John Garrison, the coroner in Mississippi's Marshall County.

"Evidently, it hydroplaned, left the highway and struck the tree," Garrison said.
