Cartoonists Descend Upon Orlando



The National Cartoonists Society will hold their annual meeting in Orlando this weekend in their traditional Memorial Day-related slot. The highlight of the weekend is the formal Reuben Awards dinner. This year Dave Coverly, Bill Amend and Dan Piraro will battle it out for the cartoonist of the year prize. Mort Walker is due for a big weekend as well as this year's Gold Key award recipient.

I would imagine there are going to be a lot of interesting discussions on the floor, everything from Jay Kennedy's passing and Brendan Burford's ascension at King Features to the ever-shrinking newspaper page and staffed editorial cartoonist roster, as well as many more stories on which I'm totally blanking this morning.

The only article I could find trumpeting a local cartoonist's attendance was this one.
