This will be a fun event, with the cartoonists holding forth for a 10-15 minute chalk talk to the guests about what it is they do. The nice thing is that it's going to be real low key, with a lot of milling around and chatting and snacking on some good food.

Award winning cartoonist Guy Gilchrist, who as far as I know hasn't had a decent night's sleep since he's one of the busiest guys in the cartooning biz, has helmed comic strips including Jim Henson's The Muppets, Mudpie, Your Angels Speak, and currently draws Nancy with brother Brad. He also is the chief cook and bottle washer of his own Guy Gilchrist's Cartoonist's Academy.
Industry legend Frank McLaughlin has worked for pretty much every comic book company for over 42 years. He's a guy whose work I read when I was a kid, and I look forward to meeting him. Especially if he's gonna be drawing those bodacious babes. Hubba hubba!
Magazine cartoonist Mike Lynch, whose blog you are wasting your valuable time on right now, whose clients include The Wall Street Journal, the Harvard Business Review, Reader's Digest and other publications. He's chair of the National Cartoonists Society Long Island Chapter (the "Berndt Toast Gang").
