best, but Phil and Kaja were so sure that one of the more mainstream titles (distribution-wise) would win this newly-created category that they didn't even send an acceptance speech. I'll admit, I also thought the Power of Whedon would overwhelm all others, and that Y the Last Man, with graphic novel bookstore sales that dwarf Girl Genius's, would be the probable second runner.
Congratulations you guys!
Fellow Graphic Novel nominee Sandra Taylor (well, wife of nominee Howard Taylor) says it Congratulations you guys!

Ummm... we were supposed to send an acceptance speech? Even though we didn't know if we were going to win or not? That seems a little icky, like counting our chickens.
I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out what happened. All I know is that we won, and I had to check Wikipedia to make sure!
Congratulations!
Yes, you won, and there was much well-deserved applause; I'm sorry you and Phil weren't there to experience it.
Being on stage under the circumstances of winning a Hugo Award will probably make your brain melt, so you're much better off having prepared remarks just in case. It's not "counting your chickens" so much as "being prepared."
