POSTED 7/25/06: Now, where
were we...? Oh yeah, Wrigley Field in Chicago. Chris
and Paula Payne take in the Cubs game. You'll notice Chris has a
sketchbook in his lap, which he put to good use as you know if you've seen
the May/June 2006 issue of The Cartoon!st.
POSTED 7/24/06: Saturday --
While Brian Walker (Beetle Bailey), Jeff Keane (Family
Circus), Dan Piraro (Bizarro), Michael Jantze (The
Norm) and Andrew Feinstein (Girls and Sports)
participated in a panel, someone had to hold down the fort at the NCS booth.
Here, Craig Boldman (Archie) is obliging a lady who needed
a picture of Jughead drawn on her pants.
cont. -- Daryl Cagle
(www.caglecartoons.com)
found a spot to add a picture of an elephant.
cont. -- Then the lovely Melissa
Bacelar (a.k.a. "Canina") paid a visit and had a quick
photo shoot with Craig.
cont. -- And then a Faerie
babe came along to promote her magazine, called, uh, Faerie Magazine.
cont. -- NCS member Keith
Robinson (Making It ) felt he might also be of help in promoting
the magazine.
cont. -- And then this convention-goer
was thrilled to get a Veronica drawing. Craig credits his success
with the ladies to his Wayno t-shirt, which he won at the Salt Fork
meeting raffle. Thanks Wayno! Unfortunately then the panel let out
and the other cartoonists came back. But it was a good hour!
POSTED 7/23/06: Still in San
Diego -- By Friday the booth was in full swing. Keeping things afloat here
are Daryl Cagle, Jeff Keane, Dan Piraro, and Mark Mitchell
of Crow-Segal.
BONUS PIC: Jenny Robb turned up, with a blimp behind her head and
wearing some kind of Olympic medal.
POSTED 7/22/06: Continuing
our brief San Diego detour, here we find Luann's Greg Evans
and The Family Circus' Jeff Keane putting in their time at
the NCS display.
BONUS PIC: Across town, Jim Whiting, founder of the Southern
California Cartoonists Society, gets things underway for their
traditional Comic-Con party. Lots of NCS members and other cartoonists
attended.
POSTED 7/21/06: Now for something completely different: Before getting back to the ball game, let's take a break from
the break we were taking in the previous photo and leave Chicago entirely
to look in on this year's typically massive San Diego Comic-Con,
in, uh... San Diego. First up, an almost-live snapshot of Phil Pyster
of Crow-Segal (the NCS's management company), doing
prep work for the National Cartoonists Society booth at the
San Diego Convention Center, taken 7/20/06.
BONUS PIC: Here's a glimpse of the booth itself. An assortment of NCS members
would be rotating in and out of the display all weekend to meet and greet
conventioners.

POSTED 7/20/06: Let's take
a break from all that formal wear. Daryll Collins contributes this
play-by-play from Sunday's field trip:
"A great time was had by all NCS members who took
in the Braves-Cubs match-up at legendary Wrigley Field. It was a real
thrill to experience baseball in one of the last three old-style ballparks
left in the Major Leagues. A somewhat sloppy, but thrilling, game
went extra innings (11) as the Braves beat the Cubs 13-12. That left the
remaining NCS'ers scrambling to get to the public transit, clean up
and ready for the Guisewite tribute that evening. Also, NCS President,
Rick Stromoski threw out the first pitch. A perfect strike right
down the middle of the plate."
POSTED 7/19/06: Who shall
win this contest of wills between Michael McParlane and Chris
Payne?
POSTED 7/18/06: From Creators
Syndicate: Chicago-based National Sales Director Margo Sugrue,
and L.A.-based Business Manager Melissa Lin.

the Great Lakes Chapter table are chapter secretary Ed Black; Jim Allen,

rest of this line-up is: Andrew Pepoy, late of Annie, and
currently the artist/writer of Katy Keene; Patty Mallett
(letterer on Frazz) and Jef Mallett (everything else on Frazz).
POSTED 7/14/06: Ballard
Street's Jerry Van Amerongen, Reuben division winner for the
