Attempted Bloggery On Groucho’s Hokinson Festival
Here’s a fun post from Stephen Nadler’s Attempted Bloggery on Groucho Marx’s copy of The Hokinson Festival spotted in a photo.
The Festival, published seven years after Ms. Hokinson’s death, is a great addition to any cartoon library. A bonus: it includes color plates of a few of her sixty-eight New Yorker covers.

It was announced at yesterday’s virtual National Cartoonists Society Awards that Amy Hwang won in her category. Congratulations to Ms. Hwang! Here’s her Spill A-Z entry:
Amy Hwang Born, Arlington, Texas, 1978. New Yorker work: November 8, 2010 – Website: www.amyhwang.com/Amy_Hwang.html

Mr. Eckstein’s soon-to-be-published All’s Fair In Love & War, his third Ultimate Cartoon Book from Princeton Architectural Press, will certainly be on the agenda.
