OT: Free Comic Book Day appearance by John Kovaleski
Friend of ComicsDC John Kovaleski has written in - note the good cause he's raising money for.
One of the greatest holidays is coming up on Saturday, May 7 - Free Comic Book Day. Once again, I'll be at Comix Connection (at their York, PA location) from 12-3. I'll be giving away prints, signing books and having fun. All proceeds will be going to Team Nick, the fund set up to help with the costs associated with my nephew's leukemia treatment. Hope to see you there.
I've also launched a new webcomic called "Dadding Badly" - all true tales of a
first-time father. Not your typical parenthood stories, "Dadding Badly" has already covered such hot topics as leprechaun impersonations, square cows, and how many times you can hit your father in the head with an empty Kleenex box. Please visit the site below for more fathering fun.
http://daddingbadly.com/
Best,
John

Tyger cartoon exhibit at National Gallery of Art?
That's what this article says -
Frank Tyger, Times' former publicity manager, dies at 81
Carmen Cusido/The Times of Trenton May 03, 2011
http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2011/05/frank_tyger_times_for_publicit.html
- anyone know anything about this? The NGA hasn't been noticeably cartoon (in the modern sense) friendly, although some Daumier sculptures are on permanent display in the West building.

Thor opens on Friday.
Beeler special edition Osama bin Laden cartoon
In addition to picking up the print Washington Examiner, I get Nate Beeler's cartoons emailed to me and I was somewhat confused to get two sent to me yesterday. In one, "The End of Osama bin Laden," Osama's corpse was the I in Justice, while "Closure" the other, which had been in the Tuesday paper that I picked up, showed Uncle Sam sitting on bin Laden's coffin. Since I hadn't seen the Justice cartoon in the paper, I wrote to Nate and asked about it. He said, "That one was for the late edition we put out special on Monday. The coffin cartoon was for the next day's paper. Both are on the website, of course."
I don't recall the last time I heard about a paper doing a special edition AND having their cartoonist do something for it. Anyone else have an example?
