University Park, PA—Penn State University Libraries and the Pennsylvania Center for the Book are pleased to announce the creation of the Lynd Ward Prize for Graphic Novel of the Year.

Drawn From The Economist: The Editorial Art of KAL
Opening Reception Friday, November 12, 2010, 7:00 – 9:00pm
Please RSVP to reception: cartoons@economist.com
San Francisco, CA: For 30 years, Kevin "Kal" Kallaugher has been a prominent editorial cartoonist for The Economist, the world renowned magazine focusing on commentary and analysis of world politics, business, finance, science, technology, culture, society, media and the arts. The Economist and the Cartoon Art Museum will present a special limited-run exhibition of Drawn From The Economist: The Editorial Art of KAL.
This exhibition will feature over 40 of Kal's favorite cartoons from his time with The Economist, during which he has published approximately 3,000 cartoons, including 120 covers. Kal has used his wit and his pen to expose political hypocrisy, illuminate crises in the environment and the economy, and deconstruct complex international events. His art has captured the faces and foibles of US President's and world leaders, using caricature to create a window into their personalities. The works featured in this exhibit focus on national and international political satire and cover a broad range of social issues.
"Editorial cartoons are amazing parcels of information," says Kevin "Kal" Kallaugher, editorial cartoonist for The Economist. "They can arouse, engage, inspire, educate and entertain. I am delighted to share some of my favorites from the past three decades at The Economist in this show."
Opening Reception with KAL
All Economist fans and Cartoon Art Museum supporters are welcome to join KAL at the Cartoon Art Museum for a personal introduction to the exhibition on Friday, November 12, from 7:00 to 9:00pm. Please RSVP to this free event at cartoons@economist.com
