Last night was the main event at the National Cartoonists Society annual conference.
At the reception I had a long and very worthwhile conversation with Colleen Doran*. During the banquet, Collen had fun presenting the awards for best comic book and best graphic novel.
Sorry to say, Art Spiegelman was a no-show. Sy Barry, at age 97, looks and sounds great.
I know that one of you who’s reading this is a fan of cartoonist Hilary Price. She also presented an award.
Next year’s meeting will be in Columbus, Ohio, held in conjunction with the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. I am hoping to be there, assuming the NCS continues to welcome non-member rabble like myself.
* I first met Colleen exactly 21 years ago, two years before starting this bloggy thing. Her website is, and always has been, in my LINKS section. Colleen is also on Patreon:
