May 5 is Cartoonist Day
:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/04/2007 02:07:00 AM 
Cartoonist Day and Free Comic Book Day are on the same day this year:
Fun-loving people everywhere are also urged to enjoy CARTOONISTS DAY and CARTOON APPRECIATION WEEK May 3-9. May 5 has been designated as CARTOONISTS DAY because the first comic strip, “The Yellow Kid,” appeared in the newspaper on May 5, 1895.
CARTOON APPRECIATION WEEK offers a chance to recognize the positive influence and laughs this art form has provided for so many years in films, books, newspapers, magazines, comic books, and commercial art.
Please, be nice to the cartoonists you know (or be nice to yourself if you happen to be a cartoonist) and don't pester them for free sketches if they are making an appearance in a comic book shop!Labels: events, international
