Richard Thompson tipped me to this year's Cartoons and Cocktails auction. A silent auction of editorial cartoons starts at 6 pm followed by a live auction at 7 pm. The event is at the National Press Club and benefits student journalists and the Cartoonists Rights Network. Tickets are $50. Richard says he donated a piece this year, so this is apparently a rare opportunity to own one of his works. Also if you work the crowd, you might actually meet him. I attended a few years back and bought some nice Cuban pieces, oddly enough. Garrincha, a Cuban cartoonist was attending and had brought the work of some of his colleagues for sale.
Here's a list of who they've got already:
