The Center for Cartoon Studies has announced their major Fall fundraising event, a celebration of the New Yorker's Ed Koren, to be held November 3 from 7-9 pm. More information including how to get tickets is detailed here. Of all the organizations in comics that occasionally ask for money, I think CCS in its short history has proven itself among the best in terms of putting that money to obvious, admirable use. As I recall, Koren is a Vermont resident.
