Work by the late Aaron Bacall (he died in June of 2015) is on display now til the end of May at The Jewish Community Center of Staten Island. Here’s a video news piece on the exhibit.
Mr. Bacall, who supplied his self-portrait to this site a few years ago, is a distinguished member of Ink Spill‘s One Club.
That is, he was published just once in The New Yorker.

Garrison Keillor has noted on “The Writer’s Almanac” that today is John Updike‘s birthday (born March 18, 1932). As many of you know, he had wanted to become a cartoonist before taking a different path. Mr. Updike’s birthday is noted here due to his life-long love of the art form, as evidenced in his writing.
