Sunday morning started with brunch. Here’s Archie comics cartoonist Stan Goldberg (seated) speaking to a fan. Behind him is cartoonist Tom Stemmle asking when the Reuben Awards start. Tom and
I spent most nights talkin’ Sinatra and cartooning until the wee small hours throughout the event. We were both pretty bleary eyed each morning. |

Sandra, ‘Dick Tracy’ artist and with the ‘Dick Tracy Museum’, Richard Pietrzyk, cartoonist Ann E. Sabo and myself made our way to the Garden District of New Orleans. There we strolled the rich architecture of the residential neighborhood, got coffee at ‘Just Perkin’ and books at the Garden District Bookstore’. The sketch to the left is of a restaurant in the neighborhood. |
| There were, of course, the neigborhood cemetery. The sketch is looking in the gated ‘Lafayette Cemetary No. 1’.We had a great time at the 2008 N.C.S. Reuben Award dinner and look forward to next year in Hollywood, California. |

That Sunday evening we had a Mardi Gras parade. Here’s comic book artist and former teacher of mine, Jose Delbo dancing. Actually I’m still learning plenty from Jose, so he’s a continuing teacher. |
| Joe Wos, cartoonist and of the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum, and Mike Peters think they are twins. That’s my fedora Mike has swiped.The parade from the Ritz-Carlton to the restaurant and dinner afterward was terrific fun!I was pretty exhausted by then and unknowingly getting really sick by then. Nevertheless had a great conversation on the future of the future, a favorite subject, with Sam Viviano at dinner.Later Tom Stemmle shut everything down again, with help from editorial cartoonist Paul Fell. |
