My World and Welcome to It

Spent the weekend in the circle of my cartooning hubby at a triennual event, The Festival of Cartoon Art, in Columbus, Ohio – not somewhere I’d ever thought of as a vacation destination. Most of the event was by registration only, seminars by leading cartoonists and such, and I skipped that part to do a little writing and poke around the city. However, I attended the evening events, starting with a reception at the Thurber House in downtown Columbus.

Here’s a bizarre car covered in cartoons, just outside the house … I never found out who it belonged to. If you visit, you’ll see a sampling of cartoon art from Ohio cartoonists on the walls. Being there reminded me of the TV series which was around when I was a kid, starring William Windom as a version of James Thurber. I remember the animations better than the storyline.
