Sept 24: National Book Festival Presents Dav Pilkey Tickets go on sale
Darrin Bell cartoons on display in the Newseum
The Pulitzer Prize-Winning Editorial Cartoons of Darrin Bell
Level 3 |
"If even one person runs my cartoon, I'm happy with that as long as what I'm saying becomes part of the conversation." — Darrin Bell
Freelance cartoonist Darrin Bell won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for his sharp take on political hypocrisy, race and injustice. He is the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning.
Bell started his career at age 20 as staff editorial cartoonist at the University of California-Berkeley's The Daily Californian in 1995. He sold his editorial cartoons to the Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle. Bell turned to comic strips with "Rudy Park" in 1997 and "Candorville" in 2003, both syndicated by The Washington Post Writers Group.
In 2013, spurred by the trial of George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a black teen killed in Florida in 2012, Bell again started penning editorial cartoons, this time as a side job. "I got back into editorial cartooning to say something," said Bell. "Not to make money."

Sept 26: Gabby Rivera in conversation with Elizabeth Acevedo — at The Wharf
Gabby Rivera - Juliet Takes a Breath — in conversation with Elizabeth Acevedo — at The Wharf
Thursday, September 26, 2019 - 7 p.m.
Juliet Milagros Palante just earned the internship of her dreams, and is leaving the Bronx for Portland, Oregon to work for her favorite feminist writer. The night before she leaves, she decides to come out to her family—something she never planned on doing. Unfortunately, it doesn't go well. Her only hope is that Harlowe Brisbane, a feminist savant, expert on women's bodies and queer culture, will help her figure out how to be an out and proud Latinx lesbian. But Brisbane is white, she's not from the Bronx, and she doesn't actually have all the answers. In a story bursting with queer kinship, summer flings and unabashed examinations of race and identity, Juliet learns what it means to come out—to friends, to family, and to herself. Ages 15 and up.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "The Teeth Of Biden"
A couple of days late due to SPX, but it's still anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock's latest'n'greatest:
"The Teeth Of Biden (Make Sure The Kids Hear Words)"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2801
(the amazing sequel to "The Eye Of Biden")
The Biden Train kept a-rollin', all night long. As DNC frontrunner
(cough) Sen. Joe Biden was defending the rank-ass "legacy" of his
ex-boss and forgetting what he was saying halfway through his answers
on the "debate" stage this week, the featured body part malfunction
was the Senator's dentures, which slipped out on the air at the worst
possible moment — which is to say, pretty much every moment, from all
accounts.
Not to be denied, however, the Washington Post splattered their front
page with this big ol' slab of gaslighting, Emperor's New Clothes
raving and drooling by columnist Dan Balz — Balz being, I assume, what
you'd have to have a whole lot of to cough up this thing onto the
front of a major daily paper with your name on it.
"Biden's time to shine..."?
HIS GODDAMN TEETH FELL OUT ON LIVE TV, F'CRISSAKE.
Dear god, somebody tie me to a railroad track.
...y'know, you can say what you want about George Washington — that he
was a slaveowner, a colonizer, all true — but you have the give the
Father Of Our Country credit for at least one thing: he would never,
EVER have allowed his teeth to fall out on TV.
