A new site called thefrisky put up a slide show of some of the cartoons from the book… http://www.thefrisky.com/post/sex_and_sensibility/

After a day of thinking about the party, I came up with a list of some of the creative types that were there. It was great- we got a mix of people from The New Yorker and elsewhere. Cartoonists in the book who attended: Roz Chast, Barbara Smaller, Julia Suits, Victoria Roberts , Carolita Johnson, Signe Wilkinson. Marisa Acocella Marchetto had a family emergency, Ann Telnaes was on jury duty (darn), and Kim Warp was unable to come.

Also there: New Yorker cartoonists , Sam Gross, Robert Leighton, Feggo (Felipe Galindo), Arnold Roth, Farley Katz, Eric Lewis, Michael Maslin, Martha Gradisher; Academy Awards Nominee animator Bill Plympton, internationally renowned political cartoonist Jeff Danzinger , Mark Alan Stamaty (amazing comic artist), Kathy Osborn (New Yorker cover artist and author), Roxie Munro (New Yorker cover artist and author), Signe Baumane (animator).

Writers: New Yorker columnist and essayist Hendrik Hertzberg, New Yorker writer Bill Franzen, former NYTimes food critic Bryan Miller, Emily Gordon of Print magazine and the great blog emdashes, Kevin Fitzpatrick, writer and President of the Dorothy Parker Society, authors Tom Soter, Phil Sicker. Writer Amanda ReCupido was there from Galleycat, George Rush from The Daily News

Then of course there were many many people from other professions…just thought I would list the cartoonists and writers that I know and met. Some very dear friends came from my college days, and other parts of my life. Not to mention one of our (Michael Maslin is my hubby) daughters, Ella Maslin and her boyfriend Nick Imperial! Our other daughter Gretchen is traveling at the moment and couldn’t come. Let me know if I left anyone out, and I apologize!

There is a piece by Amanda ReCupido in galley cat today, check it out:

Just a heads up: we are having two more parties soon: April 17, 5:30-9, at the Society of Illustrators and

April 30th at The Algonquin! 6:30-8:30.  Hope you can come! Cartoon caption contest! more info on sex and sensibility page…

The publisher, Jonthan Karp and publicist Cary Goldstein threw a great party last night (April 1st) for the publication of Sex and Sensibility at The Museum of Sex on Fifth Avenue. What a great venue–lots of interesting (and humorous) sex artifacts surrounded us as we laughed and drank and ate. http://www.museumofsex.com/ We had a captionless cartoon by Julia Suits made into a poster, got partygoers to submit captions…and Jonathan, Cary and I will select the winning caption. The winner will get a signed, framed print of a cartoon! When we get the final caption for the cartoon, you can see it here. Liza

I was so consumed with talking, I just took only a few photos, darn! But here are a few samples.

You may have noticed, if you have been to my site before, that things have changed. I decided that I wanted to be able to change images frequently and write text more often on my site, so I asked my webmaster Tom Stier to reformat things. I still have to add stuff to the sex and sensibility and photo pages–so stay tuned. And, I also wanted to converse with those of you who visit–on politics (I have never been so energized by an election, and my enthusiasm is not for the guy who’s getting all the positive press), The New Yorker, cartoons in general, whatever. So leave a post if you are so inclined. Cheers!
