Here are some links to cartoonists' blogs and sites, where one can see more photos / comments / etc. to the recent 64th annual NCS Reubens weekend. First: here's the List of Award Winners.

There are a lot of photos on Facebook, but the ones I've looked at do not have a "general public link" and are closed to anyone who is not a FB friend of the poster. My personal thanks to those whose photos I snagged for this updated entry.

Please email me if you have a link to add. Thanks!

London's Tate Gallery's latest gallery show celebrates 300 years of British comic art and is titled Rude Britannia. The exhibition runs from June 9, 2010 to September 5, 2010



The exhibit includes Alice in Wonderland illustrations, Donald McGill’s smutty seaside postcards, Aubrey Beardsley, Cruikshank, Gerald Scarfe, Steve Bell, Rowlandson, Gillray, the Spitting Image's damning Thatcher puppet and the cartoonists from Viz.

Put together with some the country’s best-known cartoonists and comedy writers, this exhibition explores British comic art from the 1600s to the present day. Bringing together a wide array of paintings, sculptures, film and photography, as well as graphic art and comic books, the exhibition celebrates a rich history of cartooning and visual jokes.

Edwina Dumm & CAP STUBBS AND TIPPY

Above: a 1918 advertisement for CAP STUBBS AND TIPPIE by Edwina Dumm.

The Yesterday's Papers blog showcases a 1937 Evening Gazette (Xenia, OH) portrait of cartoonist Edwina Dumm.

"Edwina, the petite young artist who draws 'Cap Stubbs and Tippie,' a daily comic strip, that appears in the Gazette, is one of the few successful cartoonists of her sex.

"When her identity is revealed to anyone who has studied her work, the usual comment is 'Impossible. A girl couldn’t draw, convincingly, about boys and dogs.'"
