Would you believe it? I won Best Pickle in the first annual Sloppy Mama’s BBQ homemade pickle contest at their Pickle Party. I entered two types of pickles inspired by my Curls comic strip: dill and watermelon rind, and the dill was dill-licious enough to win first place. It was so great — they even had pickle ice cream! They asked me to be a contestant next year to defend my title, so look for more pickle news in 2026!
