Mar 5 at the Schulz Museum in CA: Meet Liza Donnelly, cartoonist for The New Yorker

Native Washingtonian cartoonist speaking on the far coast -

Join us March 5 to celebrate Donnelly's book "Very Funny Ladies"

Guest Cartoonist: LIZA DONNELLY Saturday, March 5 1:00–3:00 pm Join us as Liza Donnelly, award-winning cartoonist for The New Yorker, visits the Schulz Museum to discuss and sign her new book, Very Funny Ladies: The New Yorker's Women Cartoonists (March 2022). The book includes never-before-published material from The New Yorker archives and offers an in-depth celebration of women cartoonists who have graced the pages of the famous magazine from the Roaring Twenties to the present day.   Copies of Donnelly's book will be for sale at the event. Cost: Included in Museum Admission ⭐ Interested | ✔️ Going ABOUT LIZA DONNELLY Liza Donnelly has been a staff cartoonist for The New Yorker for over 30 years. When she started, she was one of only four women cartoonists being published by the magazine at that time. Donnelly has also contributed cartoons and illustrations to The New York Times, CNN, Ms Magazine, The Nation, Cosmopolitan, and many other national publications. Her website is lizadonnelly.com. Photo by Elena Rossini ABOUT THE BOOK An anthology of funny, poignant, and entertaining cartoons, biographical sketches, and social history all in one, Very Funny Ladies: The New Yorker's Women Cartoonists (March 2022) offers a unique slant on 20th-century and early 21st-century America through the humorous perspectives of the talented women who have captured in pictures and captions many of the key social issues of their time. Liza Donnelly provides distinctive insights on the creative process, the relationships between artists and editors, what it means to be a female cartoonist, and the personalities of the other New Yorker women cartoonists, whom she has known over the years. Featuring more than seventy cartoons, along with photographs and self-portraits of the cartoonists, and never-before-published material from The New Yorker archives, Very Funny Ladies is a history of the women of the past who drew cartoons and a celebration of the recent explosion of new talent from cartoonists who are women.
