The creative force behind 'Rick and Morty' and 'Community' was a say-anything provocateur until a changing culture, a few brushes with cancellation and lots of therapy scared him into silence. But boy does he miss his soapbox.

Crooked Crab Brewing's cartoon labels

Cartoon scout and beer drinker Chris Ingram provided the content for this post. Crooked Crab Brewing is in Odenton, MD.

These clever labels based on mostly on Marvel movies, but also Lord of the Rings and Star Wars movies from the brewery are done by PBS Kids cartoonist David Bishop. The current beers shown here for sale are Crabnarok and Juice Banner, and there's plenty more on their website.

Rose O'Neill exhibit visit & photos by Bruce Guthrie

A Kewpie pointing the way

by Bruce Guthrie

Photo obsessive

http://www.bguthriephotos.com

The Sordoni Art Gallery at Wilkes University has an amazing exhibit on the works of cartoonist, illustrator, artist and writer Rose O'Neill. O'Neill, who died in 1944, is credited as the first female cartoonist published in the United States. She was the creator of the Kewpies (see some of the images below). Personally, I've been weirded out by the cute characters but I grew up on Talking Tina, Smurfs, and Chuckie. Back in 1909 when the characters made their debut in Ladies' Home Journal, this wasn't an issue. The characters were immensely popular in print and were manufactured as bisque dolls starting in 1912, becoming one of the first mass-marketed toys in the United States.

O'Neill retained the rights to her creation and made a fortune using them in books as well as advertising for companies like Jell-O. She also did unrelated illustrations for books and magazines like Puck. The exhibit covers the whole range of her illustrated life. It also includes some of the Kewpie bisques and other sculptures. (Again, I found the Kewpie dolls to be pretty creepy.) The Jell-O advertisement pieces came from the Jell-O museum. (Yep! There's a Jell-O museum!) Other pieces came from the Norman Rockwell Museum, private collectors, and a whole bunch of other sources.

I got a kick out of looking at her signature for the Kewpie drawings -- in some cases it morphed into a figure participating in the story.

I had to ask if she drew any non-white Kewpies. Apparently not. She did a black Kewpie doll (which, to me, looked even creepier than the the others) because she thought representation was important but, like Norman Rockwell, she worked within publisher limits and they didn't want black characters offending snowflake southern whites. Rockwell quit doing the Saturday Evening Post covers because they said he was only allowed to show blacks in servile roles. Rose drew some black characters in Puck cartoons. The signage says that she avoided stereotypes and "she made the definite choice to show people of color, women, and the poor and unhoused with dignity and truth."

A lot of her work was destroyed in a fire but what they had in the show was really impressive, covering all aspects of her career. The latter career pieces included a pin-up (she did four of them in the 1930s -- the signage sounded like she did it because she was short on cash, having lost a bundle in the Depression) and some from her truly different "Sweet Monsters" series as well as art she did for novels that she wrote. She published her first novel, "The Loves of Edwy," in 1904.

The show catalog was 172 pages and measures 12" by 10". You can pick up one free copy at the gallery but otherwise they request a $30 contribution. It's worth it.

Like with the Ralph Steadman exhibit at American University's Katzen Arts Center back in 2018 (which had splatter paint on random walls), there are Kewpie characters appearing in random places on the museum walls.

O'Neill, BTW, was born and spent her first couple of years within blocks of where the gallery is today. The gallery's first exhibit 50 years ago was George Caitlin, who was also born in Wilkes-Barre. The other sort of big name artist from there was Franz Kline.

My obsessive photo shoot is on:

Wednesday, October 04
7:00pm - 9:00pm

https://dclibrary.libnet.info/event/9233929

Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library - Central Library

Auditorium

At a time when LGTBQ and API voices are targeted for book bans, join us for a special conversation with Vietnamese American cartoonist Trung Le Nguyen.

In partnership with The Vietnam Society and the Mayor's Office on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs, join the Library for an exciting conversation with Eisner and Lambda Award nominated cartoonist Trung Le Nguyen, author of The Magic Fish. At a time when graphic novels, especially those written by LGBTQ authors and writers of color, are being targeted by book bans, we are thrilled to host Nguyen to celebrate his work telling stories from the API and LGBTQ communities. In conversation with former Ambassador to Vietnam Ted Osius, Nguyen will discuss his writing and art and the importance of representation in storytelling.

About the speakers:

Trung Le Nguyen is an award-winning Vietnamese-American cartoonist, artist, and writer from Minnesota.

Trung's first original graphic novel, The Magic Fish, was published in 2020 through Random House Graphic, an imprint of Penguin Random House. He has been nominated for an Eisner, a prize at Angoulême (France), a GLAAD award, and has won two Harvey Awards and a Romics (Italy). Trung has also contributed work for DC Comics, Oni Press, Boom! Studios, Image Comics, and Marvel.He currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota and raises a small flock of very spoiled hens.

A diplomat for nearly thirty years, Ted Osius served from 2014 to 2017 as U.S. ambassador to Vietnam, a country he has loved since serving there in the 1990s, when he helped open the U.S. Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City and was one of the first U.S. diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi. Leading a mission team of 900, Ambassador Osius devised and implemented strategies to deepen security ties, sign tens of billions of dollars' worth of commercial deals, expand educational exchange, conclude agreements on trade, law enforcement, environmental protection, and address honestly a difficult past. Ambassador Osius' leadership helped bring about a positive transformation in U.S.-Vietnam relations.
