Happy to note this upcoming exhibit of Eldon Dedini‘s work at Ohio State’s Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. It runs from February 13 through May 22. Link to the Billy Ireland website.
There will be a screening of Dedini: A Life of Cartoons on February 20th.
From the Museum’s brochure:
Eldon Dedini (1921 – 2006) was a master of the gag cartoon. For almost half a century, both The New Yorker and Playboy regularly published his work, which featured a unique blend of art and humor informed by his insatiable appetite for knowledge and his love of fine art, jazz, wine and life.
