Why is there a best male comic category, but no best female comic?

There is a category, after best male TV comic. It's right bloody there!

I think Michael is asking about Best Male Comic (the first category) which doesn't have a female equivalent whereas Best Male TV Comic does.

Thank you Badge.

Probably only an oversight, but it just seems a bit odd the other categories have male and female versions, while all time favourite is male only.
