Liza, a fabulous chronicle and so so so many cartoonists! Grandson is 18 now but when waiting at the doctor’s office, he quickly caught on to picking up a New Yorker to find and enjoy the cartoons… This is wonderful. I can almost hear the festive thrall in the room, the conversation, clinking of glasses, music from the DJ, and I love the lighting… Almost feels like we’re there with you. So much to celebrate. Thanks for this post. Don’t beat up on yourself if you take a break from the news… It’s healthy for each of us when the time pops up to do so. So glad for all of you to have this to celebrate! ~ Kathie
