Jamie Smart's Fish-Head Steve has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.
The graphic novel has been nominated in the 'Funniest book for children aged seven to fourteen' category.
"I am so, SO flipping excited to announce that my book Fish-Head Steve has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2013," wrote Smart on his blog.
"And as far as I know, it's the first time a comic book has been shortlisted for the prize! DOUBLE WHAMMY!"
The David Fickling book collects Smart's strips about the town of Spumville, whose residents find that their heads have been replaced with random objects.
While many panic, Steve - whose head has been replaced with a dead fish - decides to get to the bottom of the mysterious event.
