Unless there is major breaking news, my news missives will be fewer because I will be traveling for a week.
I will post drawings and photos, however!
I am going to Paris to participate in the celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Cartooning for Peace. I was there in 2006 with 10 other international cartoonists when it was founded in New York by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and French cartoonist Jean Plantu.
At the United Nations in 2006
I will write more about the work of this important organization, of which I have been a member since its beginning. It makes me so proud to be invited to join in the celebration, and with other journalists, speak on a panel about global politics. The French love cartoons, and so it’s always heartwarming to travel there. I will also be attending a festival in central France where I curated an exhibit of New Yorker cartoons at their invitation.
