"Spot The Cartoonist"

Hiatus

Spot the Cartoonist is on Hiatus for May. I am putting all my energy into the Kickstarter Drive for the Kenosha Festival of Cartooning. (Click the link and Head over and pledge right now!) 

I'll be back posting public appearances of cartoonists in June.

Kickstarter Countdown!!

We interupt this blog for a news bulletin about cartoonist sightings!

Some of you may have noticed a little fall off in the number of postings lately, That's because I'm hard at work on the Kenosha Festival of Cartooning and fundraising.

I'm launching a campaign on Kickstater to raise the $ for this year's festival - Here is the press release:

 

Friends of Cartooning!

It is with great pleasure that I announce the second Kenosha Festival of Cartooning!

This year's guest speakers are:

Stephan Pastis - Pearls Before Swine

Michael Jantze - The Norm and Jantze Studios

Dave Coverly - Speed Bump

Greg Cravens - The Buckets

Norm Feuti - Retail and Gil

and festival moderator:

Tom Racine - Tall Tale Radio

In these challenging economic times, many of the donors that funded the last festival have seen their funding cut. As a result, we are starting a fundraising drive on Kickstarter that will launch Thursday, April 19 and conclude Tuesday, May 22.

Thanks to the profound generosity of our guest speakers, we have some great rewards to offer backers and thanks to the talents of Tom Racine, we have a terrific video for the project.

Please forward this press release to EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO LOVES CARTOONING!

With your help we will be able to put on a terrific event!
