Upcoming Nightlight: THE NIB & PICK SOCIETY PRESENTS…FISTICUFFS! STARRING MOVER AND SHAKER DREW DERNAVICH!
oooohhhhh DREW DERNAVICH WAS MOVER AND SHAKER #14 AND NOW WE'RE PAST #214. HERE'S DREW:
We’re rounding up cartoonists, putting them into teams, and letting them battle it out the only way cartoonists know how to battle: by drawing cartoons. The format is simple: the audience provides the topics and the cartoonists let it rip. It’s like Iron Chef, but the secret ingredient is punch lines instead of asparagus. Cartoonists don’t often perform in public without having the benefit of their usual crutches: a comfortable desk, oodles of time, bathtubs full of whiskey. So this is a rare opportunity. There will also be a surprise musical guest for your entertainment, just in case you actually need more entertainment.
Participating in this epic battle are: David Sipress (the New Yorker), Michael Kupperman (Tales Designed to Thrizzle), Emily Flake (Lulu Eightball and the New Yorker), Paul Noth (“Pale Force” and the New Yorker), Matthew Diffee (the Rejection Collection), Zach Kanin (The New Yorker) andDrew Dernavich (The Cartoon Lounge).
