American Political Cartoons, 1754-2010 book
Until I met them today, I didn't realize Stephen Hess & Sandy Northrup, the authors of American Political Cartoons, 1754-2010, were both in the DC area. Sandy tells me that they'll be making at least three appearances, "speaking at the National Archives, April 13th, 7PM; Library of Congress, April 27th, 12PM and; Newseum, May 15th, 2:30PM. It should be a lively discussion accompanied with a power point presentation." I plan to attend at least one and will buy the book, which is an update of the first edition (that I already have).

You can see a poster he did for Arlington's Mardi Gras - St. Patrick's Day extravaganza.
Tom Richmond's drawn a caricature of him leading the pack to the National Cartoonist Society's Reuben awards.
We launched the Team Cul de Sac blog tonight to try to get more regular updates about this great project out to you.

Comics return to the City Paper
The City Paper's redesigned itself and has this to say about comic strips -
Comics Page. Like many of our readers, we were sorry to see the paper's comics go a few years ago. Starting next week, they'll be back, on a single dedicated page that will feature Derf's excellent The City, Shawn Belschwender's Clown Time, David Malki's Wondermark, and Michael Kupperman's Up All Night. You'll still find Dirt Farm in its usual place.
- and we note that Ben Claassen is the cartoonist of Dirt Farm.

A little more on the Herblock Award, from two of the judges
Matt Wuerker, 2010's winner of the Herblock award, and Signe Wilkinson are the editorial cartoonists who were two of the three judges for the 2011 award. They've shared their thinking behind the selection of Tom Toles as the winner with us.
Judging the Herblock award this year was really, really hard. There was too much good work in way too many inventive forms. It's good news for our readers ... but hard for judges. Different judges would have ended up with a different decision.
In the spirit of transparency, we'd like to lift the veil a little on the thinking that went into our judging this year. Think of this as a little WikiLeak of what happened on the path to awarding the 2011 Herblock Prize.
Before the judging, it was agreed that this year the finalist would also be recognized. We knew the job was to come up with two top cartoonists.
We had a great, broad sampling of political cartooning today: lots of traditional single-panel cartoons, plenty of stellar "altie" work, a number of great ventures into cartoon journalism and, of course, the animation submissions. We even had cartoons rendered with actual oil from the BP spill.
In the apples and oranges comparisons that are such a big part of the process, it was hard to measure the simple punchy genius of single panels by the likes of Pett and Britt against long-form docucomics that went beyond the headlines, like those submitted by Ohman, Wasserman and Varvel, or for that matter animated reporter's sketchbooks such as the engaging submission from Rex Babin.
Mike Thompson's finger on the pulse of Detroit crime and Bill Day's attention to child abuse were both powerful uses of our medium. For taking us where cartooning had not gone before, Ted Rall's enterprising trip to Afghanistan was particularly noteworthy. Pat Bagley's wonderful loose humor and engagement with his readers made him a contender. The "Alties," led by Bors and Sorensen, all made it to the semifinal pile, as did Ramirez, whose graphic punch and strong, clearly expressed political opinions kept him in the running right up to the end.
We all agreed that, to the best of our abilities, we'd not judge according to our political bent but solely on the quality and consistency of the cartooning found in the portfolios we were looking at.
Though Matt Davies had what we all agreed was the single best cartoon of the year, "WikiLeaks" (by the way, a non-animated black-and-white single panel), the quality and creativity of the Toles and Telnaes portfolios put them at the very top. Choosing between the two was excruciating and took a while, but in the end we felt the overall consistency of Toles's complete portfolio made him the winner, with Telnaes No. 2 by a hair ... or a .3 Micron line.

Comics-related photographs incidentally in the NY Times
The Business section of the February 28th NY Times had a couple of photographs that had comics in them, even though the stories were on completely different topics.
| Kevin Gentzel of Forbes says it benefits by selling its own ad space rather than delegating to third-party clearinghouses. and he's standing in front of what appears to be a wall of framed original comic strips and editorial cartoons. The clothing boutique Kitson sold twice as many books in 2010 as the year before. including the 75th anniversary DC Covers book.
