NCS Reuben Weekend 2010

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

Over the Memorial Day weekend I visited New Jersey for the National Cartoonists Society 2010 Reuben Awards. I had a great time at the NCS events, and wandering around whatever big city that was across the water.

I was given a “first time attendee” ribbon to stick on my name tag, which I think prompted several kind people to come over and chat with me, despite not knowing me from Adam@Home. I also had the benefit of hanging around with Cartoon World Big Wheels Andrew Farago and Shaenon Garrity, who graciously introduced me to a lot of folks. And you couldn’t swing a stuffed Garfield without hitting some cartooning luminary: Richard Thompson, Garry Trudeau, Hilary Price, Mo Willems, Jerry Robinson (his on-stage reaction to the playing of the “Batman” TV theme was hilarious), etc. etc.

I’m embarrassed to realize that I didn’t take any pics (of my own) of the attendees. Instead I went after stuff like this:

Lots of architectural details, coming soon to a graphic novel near you. For actual pictures of people, head on over to Mike Lynch’s blog – he’s sure to have a great photo album.
