Per a great suggestion from Michael in yesterday's comments, let's look back fondly at Mallard's 2007 and have the first annual {still to be named} Awards!
Post suggestions for good award categories in the comments! Or a suggestion for a good name for the awards.

How about the Noseworthies?
My vote's to call them the "Confits".
Some categories:
Worst Rhyming Scheme
Least Accurate Caricature
Too Much Booze
"Jon Stewart" Award for Most Thinly Veiled Bigotry
Least Disagreeable Cartoon
I Hate Hillary
Cartoon of the Year
How about "The Fillmosts"?
best oversimplification would be a good category.
Most Phallic Facial Feature?
"Best blaming a democrat for something that Bush or other prominent Republican have flagrantly done the past seven years."
"Best stretching of one idea into a week's worth of content"
I'm also going to award myself "worst portmanteau" by suggesting they be called the "Mawards"
Award names:
The Tinnies
The Tin Duckies
The Chantels
The Rotten Eggs
Categories:
Most Blatant Hypocrisy
Most Poorly-Disguised Bigotry (tip to Michael)
Creepiest Unintentional Self-Revelation
Least Accurate Caricature (Michael again)
Least Effort In Artwork
Most Incompetent Use Of Text
We could call the awards the "Golden Ellipses," since he loves to overuse those so much.
Categories:
Flimsiest Straw Man
Most Incoherent
Biggest "Two Week Delay" Oops
Worst Distortion of Cited Source
Most Actually Funny (Relative to the Usual Crap, Of Course)
Name:
The Golden Asterisks
The Ellipses . . . .
Award name:
The Boozies
Categories:
Most Confusing Strip
Worst Pop Culture Reference
Most Confusing, Too Much Booze - those just mean Most WTF.
So that category should be named after the Angry Sun and the sun could be used somehow.
I think it's fun to make up award names and categories, but it'll be torture to look at them all and remember them long enough to compare them to others.

Good luck with that.
The Dead Duckies
Based on Mallard's semi-namesake:
The 13s or variation thereof (since Millard F. was the 13th president)
The Know-Nothings (after Millard F.'s failed 1856 presidential bid)
Others:
The Pressed Ducks
The Drunk Ducks
The Canards (the French word for duck but also defined in Webster's as "a false or unfounded report or story; especially : a fabricated report; a groundless rumor or belief") Or The False Canards
The Quack-ups
The Downdies
Pâté de Fois Ivre (Paste of Drunk Duck Liver)
