NOTES

William Hogarth (1697-1764) was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic, and editorial cartoonist. His work ranged from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects", perhaps best known being his moral series A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress and Marriage A-la-Mode. Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian". [wikipedia]

May 5: Myla Goldberg at Politics and Prose

Listed because cartoonist Jason Little is married to Ms. Goldberg, and I like her work.

Myla Goldberg

https://www.politics-prose.com/event/book/myla-goldberg-feast-your-eyes-novel

Sunday, May 5 at 1 p.m.

Goldberg made an unforgettable literary debut with Bee Season. Goldberg has gone on to write two more novels as well as essays and work for children. In Feast Your Eyes: A Novel, she profiles the fictional Lillian Preston: "America's Worst Mother, America's Bravest Mother, America's Worst Photographer, or America's Greatest Photographer, depending on who was talking." Narrated by Lillian's daughter and framed as the notes from an exhibition catalogue, the book is a collection of memories, stories, interviews with Lillian's friends, and excerpts from her journals, all centering on the artist's notorious 1955 show, which included partially-nude photos of herself and her daughter.

This event is free to attend with no reservation required. Seating is available on a first come, first served basis.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Only In New York"

from Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist -

"Only In New York"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2710

Welp, folks, it's official: Lis Smith is the Sidney Falco of our era. 
Who else would have the skills, connections, and moral turpitude to 
pull together this ham-handed stunt involving Pete Buttigieg riding 
the subway to a joint in Harlem to split a bottle of hot sauce with Al 
Sharpton?

It's been reported they discussed racial disparity n'shit, but let's 
get serious; this was just a freakin' foto op. They could've been 
re-enacting the fake orgasm scene from "When Harry Met Sally" for all 
we know. I mean, c'mon, look at all the freakin' cameras in that 
place, crowding the window.

The questions I'd like to ask here are: what brand is that hot sauce, 
and why haven't they brought out the mayo yet? You know... that big 
'ol jar of weak, tasteless, store-brand diet mayo...? Oh, waitaminnit...

Tonight: Malaka Gharib at Solid State Books

We talked to Malaka a month ago, and now her book is coming out:

Malaka Gharib: I Was Their American Dream

• 600 H Street NE, Washington, DC 20002
   
• Tuesday, April 30, 2019
• 7:00 PM -  9:00 PM

• In Conversation with Shaheen Qureshi

  Event is from 6- 10 pm, with book talk beginning at 7 pm. 
  
  
  One part Mari Andrew, one part Marjane Satrapi, I Was Their American Dream: A Graphic Memoir is a triumphant tale of self-discovery, a celebration of a family’s rich heritage, and a love letter to American immigrant freedom. Malaka Gharib’s illustrations come alive with teenage antics and earnest questions about identity and culture, while providing thoughtful insight into the lives of modern immigrants and the generation of millennial children they raised.
  
  Malaka’s upbringing will look familiar to anyone who grew up in the pre-internet era, but her particular story is a heartfelt tribute to the American immigrants who have invested their future in the promise of the American dream.
  
  The daughter of parents with unfulfilled dreams themselves, Malaka navigates her childhood chasing her parents’ ideals, learning to code-switch between her family’s Filipino and Egyptian customs, adapting to white culture to fit in, crushing on skater boys, and trying to understand the tension between holding onto cultural values and trying to be an all-American kid.
  
  I Was Their American Dream is at once a journal of growing up and a reminder of the thousands of immigrants who come to America in search for a better life for themselves and their children.
  
  
  Malaka Gharib is an artist, journalist, and writer based in Washington, D.C. She is the founder of The Runcible Spoon, a food zine, and the co-founder of the D.C. Art Book Fair. She lives in a row house with her husband Darren and her 9-year-old rice cooker.
  
  
  Shaheen Qureshi is a poet, editor, and literary agent. Originally from the DC area, she has previously worked with 826DC and has taught writing workshops at Politics & Prose and Duende District. She is currently pursuing her MFA in writing at Bard and lives in Brooklyn. She is the daughter of immigrants from Pakistan and the Philippines. 
  
  
  600 H Street NE, Washington, DC 20002
  
  
  This event is FREE and open to all. Let us know you’re coming on Facebook.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Space Force no.2: Mars Awaits"

From Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist

"Space Force no.2: Mars Awaits"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2707

This was initially inspired by this article on Sputnik International, 
about the six military bases up for consideration for Space Force 
headquarters. After some curious digging, I've noticed they've gone 
from "Mars Awaits" to the slightly more modest "back to the Moon in 5 
years". Of course, the goal that's grabbing the attention of millions 
of us is VP Man From GLAD's consideration of nuclear weapons 
deployment in space.

Goes without saying Elon Musk is on board with the idea; I'm guessing 
his long game will involve a need for a few hundred Space Grunts to 
guard his gated Martian colonies for the rich.

no.55 (1977:Mar.)-no.62 (1977:Oct.),
no.65 (1978:Jan.)-no.150 (1985:Feb.),

Doom Patrol (1987-1995) is missing 5 out of 87 issues.

no.1 (1987:Oct.),
