The Lily's recent comics
I started working from home years before coronavirus. Here's how I found balance.

I found myself full of bitterness toward those who weren't taking coronavirus seriously

The uprising at Attica Prison remains one of the bloodiest civil rights confrontations in American history. ... but without Frank "Big Black" Smith it could have been even worse. Now for the first time, the late Frank "Big Black" Smith shares his experience at the center of this uprising, struggling to protect hostages, prisoners and negotiators alike.
Before his death, Frank "Big Black" Smith worked with Jared Reinmuth, the son of his lawyer, to share the true story of his time in Attica State Prison. Adapted to a graphic novel by Ameziane (Dark Horse's Muhammad Ali), this is an unflinching look at the price of standing up to injustice.

Today at 6 pm: OPC Award Winners Share Their Stories: Best Cartoon Award
Where
Zoom video conferencing apphttp://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07ehchlq6xb614f4d6&llr=5wqitddab
OPC Award Winners Share Their Stories: Best Cartoon Award
Join an online program with Adam Zyglis of The Buffalo News, the winner of this year's Best Cartoon Award for best print or digital graphic journalism, including cartoons, on international affairs.
Moderating the panel will be Rob Rogers, who served as head judge for the Best Cartoon Award jury. He won the OPC's cartoon award for 1999 and 2012.
Judges for the award said:
"An impressive caricaturist, Zyglis is the kind of cartoonist who would have to be jailed immediately if he lived abroad. That's the standard by which all great political cartoonists should be judged. His portfolio consists of powerful and insightful commentary on a wide variety of international issues including climate change, Ukraine conspiracies, the U.S. abandonment of Kurdish allies, Brexit and Trump's fealty to dictators."

Library of Congress Acquires Archives of the National Woman's Party

Well, they really just moved from one side of Capitol Hill to the other, but they should all be out of copyright and instantly (relatively speaking) available to the public.

The Beat reviews Tom King's new Watchman spinoff
DC ROUND-UP: King and Fornés offer mysteries aplenty with RORSCHACH #1
Perhaps the biggest of the many mysteries presented by RORSCHACH #1 is why it required using the character at all to tell its story.

Oct 17: KAL: Daggers Drawn / Baltimore Sun & Economist Cartoonist
Since this is both in person and on Facebook, I reached out to the gallery owner who says, " We can only have about 10 folks in the gallery at a time. We will have a tent on the sidewalk with seating outside. We will rotate the people in the gallery and will be streaming to the folks outside." KAL is one of the premiere editorial cartoonists of our day, working both in the US and England, and I strongly recommend his work.
