November 17th, The Society of Illustrators and Chronicle Books held a fun event to celebrate the publication of my new book,
When Do They Serve The Wine? We began with a round table discussion about style and voice, with the above New Yorker Cartoonists. Then the party! For a slide show of photos, go to: http://whendotheyservethewine.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/launch-party/
I found this photo (link below) yesterday while researching for my upcoming talk at the Norman Rockwell Museum. Love this. I can identify Steig, Addams, Saxon, Hamilton (the only guy with brown hair). The others are hard to see or I don’t recognize their faces. Michael Maslin also posted it on his site, Ink Spill

I used to do the cartoonist lunch every Wednesday. Now I join the group on Tuesays every so often. The regulars when I was going early in my career (in the early 80’s) were Roz Chast, Jack Zielger, Mick Stevens, Sam Gross, Bob Mankoff.
The new blog, No Country for Young Women, transcribed my speech at Omega Institute and features it on their home page today. The creator of the blog is the wonderful filmaker Elena Rossini. You can find her work on The Illusionists website and her website.
Here is the link to the transcipt, and a few of my cartoons. I will post the video of the speech soon.
