The Winner of Best Indie and Small Press Comics 2020 is….
After the exceptional 12 months we have been through, there really could only be one choice for this year’s winner of best indie and small press comic 2020:
Rachael Smith’s Quarantine Comix
Editor Alex Thomas: Quarantine Comix have been a ray of sunshine in the gloom of 2020. During a year when I completely lost my mojo for comics this was the one comic I kept reading throughout, and gets the comics candle burning in the darkness. Her insightful and intimate comics were released daily throughout the pandemic, and so reflect all the major moments and as such they make a wonderful relfection on the year, from the major moments, to just how people were feeling during this whole experience.
It’s not secret that Rachael’s work has been a perennial favourite here at Pipedream (from The Rabbit to Wired Up Wrong and Stand In Your Power), but this is one of the most significant and important comics we will read in our time. Chronicling the key moments from absent loved ones, to the fear and uncertainty of the world, right through to the ridiculousness of humanity – all interspersed with the most sublime full page images that really sum up the world of 2020 – Rachael manages to captures the quintessential essence of these moments, making you laugh one minute and cry the next. When we look back on 2020 it will be via documentaries like this that will help us remember the strange and surreal world that we inhabited.
James Blundell writes: In a year that has seen our collective ebb reach its lowest in quite some time, Rachael Smith’s Quarantine Comix has been ever the perfect tonic to get us through. A daily (and later weekly) comic strip which Rachael posted on her Twitter page, Quarantine Comix has been an honest look into Smith’s life as she, like many of us, has faced the troubles of COVID, lockdown, furloughing and more besides. However, thanks to a combination of light hearted dialogue and Smith’s signature adorable art style, Quarantine Comix has been anything but dark and instead offers a joyful, humourous but always honest look at the problems we’ve all faced this year. In a year where darkness has seemingly reigned, Quarantine Comix has been there to offer just a little bit of light and a little bit of hope. For those reasons and many more, there is little doubt that Rachael Smith and her webcomic deserves to be at the top of this list.
Rachael responds to her win: “I’m absolutely over the moon and flabbergasted to have won. I’d been watching the countdown with interest and had been trying to guess who would be top dog…I’d never in ten billion years imagined it would be me! The fact that Quarantine Comix is getting accolades like this before it’s even been published in a ‘real’ book is just amazing. I’m very, very humbled.”

Building 92 on the campus contains a visitor center (with interactive exhibits) and store that are open to the public.
Microsoft initially moved onto the grounds of the campus on February 26, 1986,
weeks before the company went public on March 13.
The Microsoft campus is the informal name of Microsoft’s corporate headquarters, located at One
Microsoft Way in Redmond, Washington. All-gender restrooms, lactation rooms, meditation rooms, and ablution rooms, as well
as universal design elements throughout,
ensure equitable access. Large stairways rise through
daylit atriums, encouraging people to choose walking over
elevators, promoting both exercise and informal interactions.
By adding native and adaptive vegetation, using rainwater capture for toilet flushing, and installing efficient fixtures and
irrigation, the campus is projected to save more than 20
million gallons of water each year.
At the Wrest Point Hotel Casino, blackjack table betting minimums
start at $10 per hand and reach up to $100.00 (and higher stakes in the VIP gaming rooms).
Longhorn Smokehouse restaurant offers a unique culinary
experience that combines the best of American-style BBQ with locally-sourced
ingredients. Download Chrome on your mobile device or tablet
and sign into your account for the same browser experience, everywhere.
For employees, Microsoft also operates a commuter bus service called
“The Connector” that provides non-stop service to neighborhoods in Seattle, the Eastside, and
Snohomish County from the Redmond campus. Wrest Point offers
breakfast and dinner in-room dining service. Step into the
glitz of our Hollywood-themed celebration, sip themed cocktails, and enjoy live
entertainment across our venues.

This new AI search experience has been built from the ground
up with this concern in mind, Microsoft says. It will break down that answer into a document index that can provide more information about
particular subjects within that search query if you’d like to learn more.
Microsoft has announced a major update to Bing Search that
overhauls the search results page with AI at the heart of its experience.
Bing will soon prioritize AI-generated answers alongside traditional search results.
Initially launched back in December 2023, Deep
Search now lets you try out this beta experience.
You can also try out the new experience by clicking on the “Deep Search” button on Bing.
Initially launched back in July this year, Bing generative search now lets you
perform searches for more complex queries. Besides launching a revamped & refreshed Copilot
look with features like ChatGPT-like “Copilot Voice” and Copilot
Vision, the Redmond tech giant also announced the next phase of Bing generative search.

This project is based on one of my other repositories, josStorer/chatGPT-search-engine-extension 该API Key用于转发API，需要将Host改为api.chatanywhere.tech(国内首选)或者api.chatanywhere.org(国外使用)。
