Coming this Saturday in Orlando, Florida: Funny Folks Behind the Serious Business of Cartoons
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Sep.24, 2012, under Cartooning, Florida History!
‘Funny Folks Behind the Serious Business of Cartoons’ is the name of a fun panel of Florida cartoonists and author Tim Hollis this Saturday at the Orange County Regional History Center.
Tim Hollis starts off the event at 12:30 with a talk about the history of cartooning and tourism. He will also be introducing his new book, ‘Part of a Good Breakfast’ about cereal premiums for the Baby Boomer set. Tim will be available to sign books after his talk.
The cartoonist panel starts at 1pm with cartoonists Bruce Beattie, Allen Bellman, Mike Osbun, Jeff Parker, Mark Simon, and me. Each will talk about the cartoon work they do. Then the floor will open to questions from the audience.
Afterward be sure to take a stroll trough the Peanuts exhibit of comic strips reflecting outdoor issues.
I organized the cartoonist panel and dove tailed it with our annual Florida Chapter meeting of the National Cartoonists Society, which I am also Florida Chapter Chairman of. I’m also involved with the History Center.
