The cartoonists of the National Cartoonists Society are gathering in Philadelphia Memorial Day Weekend for their Reuben Awards Celebration. As part of the festivities, they are going to stage a live drawing event where you can come meet cartoonists from the Inquirer Comics pages and newspapers across America, from fi lm & TV animation, from webcomics and graphic novels. You’ll see New Yorker cartoonists and Hollywood character designers plus editorial cartoonists, caricaturists, illustrators and more! It’s all taking place at the Free Library of Philadelphia with support of The Inquirer. There may never be such a collection of cartooning talent in Philadelphia in one room for years to come. So stop by. Watch them draw. Get a doodle. And be sure to peruse the Free Library’s comic art archives and more! Experience Cartoonapalooza! It’s going to be, ahem, a really big draw.
