There’s no reason you should be able to make any sense out of these hastily-taken cartoon photos I took at the conclusion of the National Cartoonist Society’s Reuben Awards at the Jersey City Hyatt last night. Suffice it to say that the indeflurkable (I just made that up) Mike Lynch and I were the “winners” of the Gag Cartoon Smackdown, in which we “competed” against fellow cartoonists David Sipress, Emily Flake, Michael Kupperman, and Jeff Stahler in an improv draw-off hosted by the alleged “Matthew Diffee.” There were scenes of dominatrix snowmen and accidents involving Dunkin’ Donuts and disastrous French cuisine, and great music also. Thanks to Jeff Keane for letting it happen. It won’t be the last time we do this, so stay tuned.
