If it’s Spring, it’s time for the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art’s annual fest, otherwise known as MoCCa Fest (it’s produced by The Society of Illustrators).
The two day event begins April 6th. Scheduled events include Roz Chast being interviewed by the Virtual Memories host, Gil Roth, a conversation with Liniers (and an exhibition of his work), and a Nancy panel discussion with Paul Karasik and friends. Link here to all the info.

New York Times Robert Grossman Obit
Here’s the Times obit of Mr. Grossman written by Neil Genzlinger — it’s in today’s paper. Glad to see Mr. Genzlinger mentioned Mr. Grossman’s stint at the New Yorker as well as including The Yew Norker.

Back in 2013 the Spill posted a map of Manhattan (“The New Yorker’s New York”) showing where various New Yorker folk once lived. Here’s another address I’ll eventually add to the map: 75 1/2 Bedford Street, otherwise known as the narrowest house in New York City. It was once the home of William Steig.
