Over the weekend, the industry event called Free Comic Book Day took the nation by storm! Held annually at local comic shops and other participating stores, FCBD is exactly what it sounds like: Come to your nearest funny book location and get free comics.
Just like last year, the artists behind Cartoonists Draw Blood brought their talents to participants in and around the DC-Metro area. They did sketches for kids and adults, handed out free comics, and signed people up for the blood drive. Our goal: To spread the word about the "Draw Blood" event and to make sure that everyone left with a smile on their face.
Remember: Cartoonists Draw Blood is May 31st at Seeker's Church in Washington, DC. To donate, simply e-mail us and schedule an appointment at CartoonistsDrawBlood@gmail.com

While her style is inimitably her own, Chast's story of aging parents will resonate with many. In four-color cartoon panels, photos, and text, Chast, a New Yorker contributor since 1978 and the author/illustrator of a dozen books, recounts her life with a needy father and strong-willed mother and faces their mental and physical deterioration with wit and honesty. (Bloomsbury)
Kalman, illustrator of many books for adults and children as well as The New Yorker magazine, recounts the third president's many achievements without claiming that he was perfect. Among Jefferson's shortcomings: owning slaves and disparaging Native Americans, despite preaching equality. Ages 5 – 8. (Nancy Paulsen)
This event has been rescheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, May 10 at Takoma Park Library.
