Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Glass Ceiling"

From DC's anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock:

"Glass Ceiling"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=1936

When women like Carly Fiorina, Sheryl Sandberg and Hillary Clinton break the "glass ceiling", it's because they're standing on the backs of millions of poor and working-class women who are lucky to see the floor.

@ Busboys and Poets Takoma: Joe Hill - The Fireman

Thursday, May 19, 2016 at 6:30 p.m.

Hill has sent chills down spines with bestselling novels including Horns, Heart-Shaped Box, and NOS4A2, while he continues to beguile readers with his Locke & Key series. His new horror thriller unfolds during an epidemic of Dragonscale, a bacteria that causes its victims to burst into flames. So far, the only way to control the disease is for the Cremation Squad to eliminate those afflicted with it. But Hunter, a school nurse recently infected, is pregnant and determined to have her child. That seems unlikely until she meets the Fireman and joins a secret refuge—only to find that there are other perils lying in wait.

National Archives Marks Election Season with Free Political Cartoon eBook

National Archives Marks Election Season with Free Political Cartoon eBook

REPRESENTING CONGRESS: Clifford K. Berryman's Political Cartoons


Washington, DC. . . Just in time!  To help make sense of Congress and its complexities, the National Archives Center for Legislative Archives today launched REPRESENTING CONGRESS: Clifford K. Berryman's Political Cartoons, a free eBook.  Representing Congress goes beyond the headlines, using political cartoons to explore what Congress is, how it works, and what it does. The eBook's cartoons and learning resources engage students of all ages and illustrate how elected officials in the House and Senate represent the American people and fulfill the Founders' vision.  


Representing Congress showcases Berryman's ability to use portraits, representative symbols and figures, and iconic personifications to help explain the institutions and issues of civic life.  Each eBook page features a large political cartoon and links to related online materials, enticing visual learners and orienting students to the study of politics and government.  These drawings highlight timeless aspects of Congress.  While faces, personalities and many procedures change, these cartoons show that our representative institutions remain surprisingly consistent.

Clifford K. Berryman, staff political cartoonist for The Washington Post and the Washington Evening Star during the first half of the 20th century, drew thousands of cartoons commenting on the events, issues, and personalities of his era. Berryman was a Washington institution, and his 53 years of front-page drawings were internationally renowned. He satirized both Democratic and Republican political figures but was able to critique without rancor which won him great respect from many politicians. The original cartoons used in Representing Congress are part of a collection of nearly 2,400 drawings by Berryman from the U.S. Senate Collection housed in the Center for Legislative Archives in Washington, DC.

Today: Kevin McCloskey - The Real Poop on Pigeons at Politics and Prose

Thursday, April 28, 2016 at 10:30 a.m.
Thursday, April 28, 2016 at 7 p.m.

McCloskey's lighthearted ode to pigeons begins with two strangers sitting on a bench. As one exclaims that he hates these "rats with wings," a group of people dressed in mascot-like pigeon suits descend upon him to explain why pigeons are, in fact, rather fascinating and helpful creatures. After all, as their human defenders point out, pigeons delivered airmail before planes existed; they belong to the same family as the dodo bird; and they even make milk in their crops in order to feed their young. This graphic novel for early readers mixes fact with humor to tell the story of these oft-maligned birds. Ages 5 - 7

Chester Brown live at Politics and Prose speaking with Reason's Elizabeth Brown

Chester Brown is speaking at Politics and Prose with Reason's Elizabeth Brown.

Chester Brown live at Politics and Prose

Brown is reading from his new book Mary Wept at the Feet of Jesus.

Tonight: Chester Brown at Politics and Prose bookstore

Chester Brown - Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus

Brown's graphic/comic work has consistently taken the genre in new directions; from his award-winning comic-strip biography of the renegade Louis Riel to his comic memoir about his own adolescence, The Playboy, and on to his adult experiences in the graphic Paying for It: A Comic-strip Memoir of Being a John, Brown has been telling startling stories and creating crisp, evocative artwork—with hand-drawn endnotes. His latest book is an iconoclastic reinterpretation of the Bible; focusing on passages related to Bathsheba, Ruth, Rahab, Tamar, Mary of Bethany, and the Virgin Mother, Brown parses scripture for its views on prostitution, including arguments for decriminalization.

Brown will be in conversation with Elizabeth Nolan Brown, staff editor at Reason magazine, where she covers sex policy, civil liberties, gender issues, and other issues  from a libertarian feminist perspective.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "He's Late!"

From DC's anarchist, and apparently pothead, cartoonist:


"He's Late!"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=1932

Yesterday, following on the heels of a successful "Smoke-In" protest earlier this month, was DCMJ's historic meeting with White House officials from the Office Of National Drug Control Policy concerning the rescheduling or descheduling of marijuana from its current status at Schedule 1 -- listed alongside heroin and methamphetamine. Along with combat veteran Brandon Wyatt of the group "Weed For Warriors", DCMJ leaders Adam Eidinger and Nikolas Schiller spoke to the ONDCP representatives at length on the need for a political -- rather than scientific -- solution to the current cannabis prohibition situation. Citing the racism of Federal Narcotics Bureau Commissioner Harry Anslinger (responsible for the initial Federal ban on cannabis in the 1930s) and, later, President Nixon in the late '60s and early '70s, Eidinger asserted that because cannabis prohibition was a political act, a solution to end prohibition must also be political.

Eidinger and Schiller called for a followup to this meeting at a higher level, a "bud summit" at the White House with El Presidente himself. "He doesn't even have to say anything," commented Eidinger, "he just needs to listen. Because it's going to take a year of dialogue at the federal level to figure out federal legalization."

Listening to a recording of the ONDCP meeting at a "post-mortem" meeting back at the DCMJ office, conversation turned toward the fact that Obama was late in deciding on how to handle Federal legalization; "late for 4/20" was the joke going around the room, and it inspired a literary analogy "hook" on which to hang a "hashtag point" -- #HesLate -- and this cartoon.

He's late, he's late, for a very important date.

Bruce Guthrie on SAAM exhibit: Finding: Source Material in the Archives of American Art

by Bruce Guthrie

Smithsonian American Art Museum's archives section has a new exhibit (described below).  I volunteer there covering family day events (the Ella Fitzgerald tribute on Saturday with the Dan Dunn speed-painting event was great!) so I check out everything. 

The archives section usually talks about people I've never heard of before but it always includes some interesting spots.  The most interesting part of this exhibit was Ray Yoshida (1930-2009) who meticulously cut out a lot of panels from cartoons for reference work.  One of the open scrapbooks, for example, was a collection of how couples kissing were illustrated in comic strips.  But the Sucrets tins filled with tiny cut out tiny images and word balloons was interesting too.  Some of them were laid out in the exhibit cases in an easier to see fashion and they even reproduced some of them on the wall.   I'm sure folks here will recognize many of them (shown below).

Finding: Source Material in the Archives of American Art

April 22, 2016 – August 21, 2016
In this exhibition, the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art reveals how artists find inspiration. The Archives' collections hold a kaleidoscopic array of source materials; many of these materials are somewhat ordinary: comic- strip panels, newspaper clippings, and snapshots of mundane scenes. Yet the ways in which artists draw on them provides a glimpse into the twists and turns of their creative practices.









There were two source cartoons that Ray Lichtenstein sent to someone too (below).  My pics are up on http://www.bguthriephotos.com/graphlib.nsf/keys/2016_04_25E_SIPG_Source

The exhibit wasn't getting the attention that the Prince In Memoriam photo was getting.

PR: Kremos: The Lost Art of Niso Ramponi's Eisner nomination

kremos-art-eisner-mockup

"Kremos: The Lost Art of Niso Ramponi" chosen as one of the year's best books by Eisner judges

EisnerfullLogo

We are excited to share our good news with everyone: We've received a Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards nomination in the category for "Best Archival Collection—Strips" for our two-volume set, Kremos: The Lost Art of Niso Ramponi.

The Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards are considered the "Oscars" of the comics world. Named for the pioneering comics creator and graphic novelist Will Eisner, the awards will be given out this year during a ceremony at Comic-Con International in San Diego on July 22.

We couldn't be more flattered to find ourselves honored in the same category as folks like Fantagraphics Books, IDW, and Sunday Press, all publishers we've admired for years. What a great way for Lost Art Books to continue celebrating our fifth anniversary!

A decade in the making, this two-volume set covers the Italian cartoonist and animator's entire career. Ramponi was at his most prolific from the mid-1940s through the early 1960s, working with everyone from friend and colleague Federico Fellini to creating the official movie posters for Walt Disney's post-war releases in Italy. But it was as a cartoonist and cover artist for some of Italy's more irreverent satirical magazines that Ramponi left his most enduring mark. As contemporary cartoonist Jerry Carr describes in Volume 2's foreword, "Kremos's work reminds us of the layouts of Hank Ketcham, the polish of Bill Ward, the humor of Dan DeCarlo, and the grace of Jack Cole—while exemplifying something entirely original."

Benefiting from careful restoration and translation, Volume 1 collects over 200 of Kremos's bodacious black and white cartoons and illustrations and is fronted by a 6,000-word introduction by Ramponi's friend and current-day animator, Mario Verger. Volume 2 adds 250 curvaceous color comics and covers to the set, with a foreword by contemporary comic artist Jerry Carr. Combined, these volumes offer nearly 500 examples of his work and a comprehensive overview of a maverick artist at the height of his creative powers.
