Until 2020, Fall was the season for serious cartoon gatherings—but cartoonists aren’t letting covid slow down the discussion. Case in point: Clear your calendar for WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21 for two big online events:
1) Force of nature Ann Telnaes kicks off the day with a online interview from VIEW Conference 2020. “From Animation to Opinion Art: An Interview with Ann Telnaes” streams live at 1:30pm EST.

The conversation with the prolific Washington Post cartoonist is, interestingly enough, part of the 21st International VFX Computer Graphics Conference. Telnaes began her career as an animation artist for Disney before becoming a political commentator.
