Celebrate 20 years of Lloyd Dangle’s Troubletown at The Cartoon Art Museum
Celebrate 20 years of Lloyd Dangle’s Troubletown at The Cartoon Art Museum
Cartoon Art Museum Event: Thursday, May 8, 2008 from 7pm to 9pm
$5 General Public, Free for Cartoon Art Museum Members
The Cartoon Art Museum proudly presents an evening with Lloyd Dangle, creator of the nationally-syndicated weekly political cartoon Troubletown, for a special presentation celebrating Troubletown’s 20th anniversary. Join Dangle for a slideshow featuring highlights from the past two decades of his award-winning comic, followed by a Q&A session and booksigning. General admission to this presentation is $5, and the event is free to Cartoon Art Museum members.
Dangle will be signing copies of his latest release, Troubletown: Told You So: Comics That Could’ve Saved Us From This Mess, featuring 196 pages of Lloyd Dangle at his best, caustically comic stripping the Bush administration’s lead up and mishandling of the war in Iraq, without sparing the enabling Democrats, the media, the Mullahs, the corporate overlords, or the squawking chicken hawks. Not simply controversial for controversy’s sake, Troubletown cartoons turn one CNN talking point after another on its head--with a screwball logic all their own. Troubletown is frequently praised as the funniest comic strip in the alternative press.
About Lloyd Dangle:
Lloyd Dangle’s cartoons and illustrations have appeared in over 100 magazines and newspapers of every type from the crusty corporate mainstream to the bleeding, subcommercial edge. He has been featured in publications including American Lawyer, Cosmopolitan, Entertainment Weekly, The San Francisco Chronicle, Shape, Sierra, Mother Jones, The Nation, The New York Times, Outside, Time Magazine, Utne Reader, The Village Voice and Wired. His drawings adorn the packaging of Airborne effervescent cold remedy, which the company claims is one fastest-selling products in retail history, and he was the first cartoonist assigned to cover the Republican National Convention in New York City armed with nothing but a pen and sketchbook. The resulting cartoon was selected for Houghton Mifflin’s series The Best American Comics. When not on the road covering bizarre and dangerous political events, he works out of his converted garage in Oakland, California
