Mr. Walker, a long time supporter of the military, has extended his support to The National Museum of the United States Army for the third time this year by using the Beetle Bailey comic strips to help promote the Museum. Scheduled to open in Fort Belvoir, Va., outside Washington, DC, in 2015, the museum will honor America's Soldiers, preserve the history of America's oldest military branch, and educate all Americans about the Army's role in our nation's development. The U.S. Army is the only service without its own museum.
Mort Walker, one of the longest-drawing cartoonists in history, served in the United States Army in Europe during World War II, and was discharged as a First Lieutenant in 1947. In portraying the lighter side of military life for more than 60 years, Mort Walker's support of the military has earned him the praise of the highest ranking officials. He was given the Decoration for Distinguished Civilian Service by the United States Army, the highest award the Secretary of the Army can present a civilian. During his distinguished career as a cartoonist, he has earned numerous awards including induction into the Museum of Cartoon Art Hall of Fame.
Mort Walker's Beetle Bailey comic strip about the National Army Museum can be found in syndicated papers nationwide on Friday, and online here.

Political Cartoon Biography of Theodore Roosevelt Is Subject of Discussion
"Bully!" Chronicles Life and Times of 26th President
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was a favorite subject of political cartoonists, due in large part to his outsize personality, his exploits as one of the leaders of the Rough Riders and, of course, his career as 26th president.
Roosevelt's biography as told through these political cartoons forms the basis of "Bully!: The Life and Times of Theodore Roosevelt" (Regnery, 2011) by Rick Marschall. Marschall's book is the subject of a discussion and signing on Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 11:30 a.m. in Dining Room A, located on the sixth floor of the James Madison Building, 101 Independence Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C. This event is part of the Books & Beyond author series of the Center for the Book and is co-sponsored with the Library's Prints and Photographs Division. It is free and open to the public; no tickets are requited.
"Bully!" features more than 250 full-color illustrations, many of them from the collections of the Library. According to Marschall, few people have influenced American history as Roosevelt did. A cowboy, soldier and prolific author, he vaulted to the top of American politics. His physical energy, great intelligence and larger-than-life personality made him not only a beloved leader but also the subject of countless political cartoons.
Marschall is the author of more than 65 books, is a former political cartoonist and has written extensively on politics, history and cartoons. He has taught at Rutgers University and the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
Marschall's book is also the subject of a discussion on Facebook. The new Books & Beyond Book Club is available at www.facebook.com/booksandbeyond/. Here readers can discuss books, the authors of which have appeared or will appear in this series. The site also offers links to webcasts of these events and asks readers to talk about what they have seen and heard.
Since its creation by Congress in 1977 to "stimulate public interest in books and reading," the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress (www.Read.gov/cfb/) has become a major national force for reading and literacy promotion. A public-private partnership, it sponsors educational programs that reach readers of all ages, nationally and internationally. The center provides leadership for affiliated state centers for the book and nonprofit reading-promotion partners and plays a key role in the Library's annual National Book Festival. It also oversees the Library's Read.gov website and administers the Library's Young Readers Center.

Book collects Simon/Kirby crime comics of yesteryear
By Brian Truitt, USA TODAY October 27 2011
"Calvin and Hobbes" creator Bill Watterson has said about Richard Thompson's "Cul de Sac": "The strip has a unique and honest voice, a seemingly intuitive feel for what comics do best ... a very funny intelligence." Thompson, who also draws The Washington Post's "Richard's Poor Almanac," discusses the world of comic strips and highlights some of his favorites. This event is presented in collaboration with McDaniel College and the exhibition Kings of the Pages: Comic Strips and Culture 1895-1950, on view at McDaniel through November 19.
Date: Sunday, December 11
Time: 02:00 PM–03:30 PM
Kevin Kallaugher, a.k.a. KAL, is best known for his internationally-syndicated political cartoons in more than 100 publications worldwide. Join us today as he'll chat about his work, look back at his best cartoons from 2011, and sign copies (a great gift for the holidays) of his award winning 2012 Kal-endar, published by The Economist. He'll finish his talk with a fun and lively drawing lesson.
KAL's partnership with The Economist began in March 1978 when he became its first resident cartoonist in their then 135-year history. KAL has also enjoyed a longtime partnership with The Walters, highlighted by a major retrospective exhibition of KAL's work at the museum in 2006.
