We are saddened to receive the news that Ray passed away yesterday. Numerous folks have known Ray throughout the many years he was at the shop. He was always kind, helpful, and in good spirit to everyone he met. He will be missed greatly.

Some additional information here:

Joel Pollack of Big Planet Comics Bethesda told me about this, noting, "Ray was Carl's very capable assistant. His knowledge of older comics was nearly equal to Carl's, and his knowledge of newer comics far surpassed Carl's. He was always fun to converse with."

Kevin (KAL) Kallaugher Talks Cartooning With Fellow OPC Best Cartoon Winners (Whole Program)

OPC America

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-qNdnD2RPs

On May 19, 2022, the OPC hosted an installment of the "How I Did It" series with Kevin (KAL) Kallaugher, who has won many of the OPC's Best Cartoon Awards over the years, discussing his work and craft with past winners Rob Rogers and Patrick Chappatte. Kallaugher most recently won the OPC's Best Cartoon award for his work in 2020, in which judges said he "seems like a cartoonist transported from a bygone era, while still creating compelling work that resonates with today's audience." Rogers won the 2012 Best Cartoon Award for his work in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and before that won the award for work in 1999. Chappatte won the award for his work in The New York Times in 2018 and 2015, and won the 2011 award for cartoons in the International Herald Tribune.

June 2: Object Lesson: Fan Art as a Record of Popular Culture online at Library of Congress

Object Lesson: Fan Art as a Record of Popular Culture

People have been making fan art for as long as there has been media to be a fan of. From the Shakespeare fandom among 19th century Pre-Raphaelite artists to the international phenomenon of the Dark Souls games of the 2010s, the proliferation of fan art for these works reflects their cultural impact. In this Object Lesson, Archivist Maggie McCready explores the research value of fan art using examples from the Fine Print and Small Press Expo collections. This session will be recorded.

Thursday, June 2nd, 2022 – 7:00 - 8:00 pm (Eastern)
