Last Thursday evening, goaded by a timely
tweet from
MariNaomi, I jogged from a
history talk at the Mechanics' Institute straight to the
Cartoon Art Museum, where I arrived for the tail end of a
reception for cartoonist
Geoff Vasile, whose work is being featured in the museum. There was time to have a beer, watch Mr. Vasile draw a dinosaur & hear him hold forth on
Erik Larson's drawing skills. I also heard attendees trade improper stories about strip clubs.
Mr. Vasile's own drawings are on display at the back of the museum, on the wall next to the restrooms. I liked seeing pages from his latest autobiographical story "
My Mom Just Died!" Its content is characteristically inappropriate yet entirely sincere. It was interesting to see the fastidiously clean lines of his originals.
