Hey again, friend!

This weekend, my writing partner, Scott, and I will be guests at the 2025 American Library Association Annual Conference & Exhibition in Philadelphia — the Largest Library Event in the World! Other speakers at the event include Brené Brown, George Takei, Geena Davis, and our former podcast guest, Roy Wood Jr, among many others. If you’re in the area, come by and say hello!

We’ll be signing our newest book, “You’re Not A Real Dog Owner Until…” and being interviewed on a panel discussing the topic of writing humour in cartoons and comics. We’ll be joined by our old pal, author, staff writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and fellow New Yorker cartoonist,

asher
Perlman (Hi, It’s Me Again), along with Lauren Haldeman (Wild That We're Alive). Our interviewer will be our editor on the book, Lucas Wetzel!

FROM THE WEBSITE:

Lucas Wetzel, senior editor at Andrews McMeel, will lead a panel discussion exploring the topic of humour in comics, including the unique ability of one-panel cartoons to serve as comic relief, personal expression, and social commentary. Joining him will be four authors from upcoming books, including several New Yorker cartoonists, a staff writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, an independent comics creator, and a comics scholar. The discussion will end with a Q&A.

Date: Sunday June 29, 2025
Time: 2:30 PM – 3:20 PM
Stage: Graphic Novel/Gaming Stage (Booth 2062)

You can find out more and register to attend the event here.

I’ll report back on the shenanigans after the weekend!

‘til then…
Your pal,

DMA#12: My favourite political cartoonist joins me to bring cogence to the endless insanity, and why now is not the time to check out of the news.

I hid these cards around New York and got the weirdest emails back.
How a real-world experiment to 'find my rat people' resulted in some of the craziest responses from Real New Yorkers.

Silencing the Court Jesters.
10 years ago, cartoonists were murdered for drawing offensive things. Things have not been getting better since.
