Thank You, Vermont

For appreciating cartoonists (and your leaves)

I am headed up to Vermont for a memorial service for the wonderful cartoonist Ed Koren, who died earlier this year. I wrote about Ed in a post on Substack, and also on my Medium column. I’ve written how lovely and fanciful Ed’s drawings were; they were unique. The above drawing is an homage to Ed’s beloved state of Vermont. In fact Ed was anointed Cartoonist Laureate by the state of Vermont in 2014. You gotta love a state that has a Cartoonist Laureate. Ed was dedicated to the art of cartooning, very opinioned about it, as well. He and Michael and I loved to talk about the state of the art, the good and bad.

I hope you have a good Saturday. By the way, I did a live broadcast but the sound didn’t come through. If you want to watch me draw and move my mouth with no sound, here you go. I even got a new haircut!

Thanks for being here!

And for my paid subscribers, a bonus cartoon. Yippee! (too many exclamation marks?)
