"Spot The Cartoonist"

Spotting Hiatus

Spot the cartoonist will be on hiatus this week as I prepare to attend the NCS Reuben Award Weekend in Boston. There are listings for this week and I will be accepting listings from cartoonists at my email anne.edisonlee@gmail.com and on twitter via Direct Message or the Mention button, but I will not be doing any processing of events until I return on June 1.

Enjoy the spots that are up for the week and if you're a cartoonist who's going to Boston I'll see you there! (I'll be the one in the hotel bar with a full wineglass and a boxful of home made chocolate truffles for Richard Thompson and other lucky cartoonists)
