Ann Telnaes Q&A at Politics and Prose
After she read Trump's ABC, her new book of caricatures about the administration, Ann Telnaes took questions from the audience for about thirty minutes. With her permission, I've transcribed them.
More pictures from the evening can be seen at Bruce Guthrie's site. If you want to see how large her drawings are, original cartoons by Ann can be seen at the Library of Congress in the Drawn to Purpose exhibit or in the Hay-Adams Hotel's Off the Record bar. An article about the bar and the cartoonists (that I wrote and interviewed Ann for) will be in the upcoming issue of White House History magazine. Ann's previous book, Dick, about Vice President Cheney can be bought online and is highly recommended. Three styles of t-shirts with Ann's cartoons on them can be bought at Amazon.

Kindness Works, an Archie comic on autism
Recently I saw an article about Nancy Silberkleit, Archie Comics' co-CEO, publishing a comic about with a new autistic character. Since I've written a little about what's now being called graphic medicine, I sent her an email asking how to get a copy of the Kindness Works comic.
The new character Scarlet in the Archie Comic family is a lovely young teen at Riverdale High skilled in building anything. She cherishes friends, but has difficulty expressing friendship or showing how she desires inclusion. She reacts differently to situations such as sounds and light. Scarlet is neurodiverse, she is a person with autism. (The term neurodiversity is now trending for people with autism). Physically she has a little pony tail that flows to the side over her long hair and she wears glasses.

Steve Conley's Middle Ages Kickstarter is underway
I just wanted to update you all about my latest Kickstarter campaign. The new campaign - going on now - is to support my newest webcomic The Middle Age. You can learn more about it here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/
I've been working on The Middle Age for the past two years. It's a fun, fantasy story about a knight who lost his love, his sword, and his job, and is on a quest to win them all back. Our hero is 'aided' by a snarky, talking sword which reallllly does not like him. :)
You can read the story for free from the beginning here:

This new Kickstarter ends next week:

Tomorrow: Ann Telnaes at the Wharf
Ann Telnaes - Trump's ABC — at Politics and Prose at The Wharf
In an inspired matching of form to content, Telnaes presents her series of cartoons on Trump in the shape of a children's board book. But this collection of satirical wit is for adults, and Telnaes draws, rhymes, and critiques Trump with all the moral outrage, wit, and intelligence that made her the second woman cartoonist to win a Pulitzer Prize, and the first to win both a Pulitzer and the Ruben Award. Small but powerful, this volume features Telnaes's impeccable ink line, here accompanied with sing-song verses that capture the truth of Trump's behavior, policies, and his divisive effect on the country.
