There have been news stories about good things in comics during this very odd and sometimes depressing year of 2016; many of them come from the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, who continue their good work receiving and processing donations into their vast holdings.

According to a press release sent out today, you can add the "personal collection of original art and archival materials" owned by cartoonist Jack Ziegler, primarily known for his placement of over 1500 cartoons into the New Yorker.

The collection includes personal sketchbooks ad well as finished work, personal correspondence, journals and the manuscript for a memoir that was never published. The cartoonist cited the "seriousness" of the institution's approach as the reason he selected it for his donation, and says that as much of what he owns is still used in creating current work, the donation will continue to grow and expand.
