Are you one of those people who buys "The New Yorker" magazine just to flip to those witty cartoons? Come laugh and learn when "The New Yorker" cover and cartoon artist Harry Bliss presents a talk on Monday, September 18 at 6:45 at the Henry Sheldon Museum in Middlebury. Bliss, who resides in Burlington, Vermont, will trace his artistic lineage and growth as a “slightly-off” cartoonist during his presentation. As James Sturm of the Center for Cartoon Studies remarked, “If his cartoon collection [Death by Laughter] doesn’t make you laugh out loud, then you are probably already dead.” Bliss's books and paintings are on display in the exhibit "Draw Me a Story – Tell Me a Tale" on view at the Sheldon Museum. The evening begins with a brief introduction to the Sheldon’s exhibit followed by the talk. $5 general public/free admission for Museum members. The Sheldon Museum is located at One Park Street in Middlebury, across from the Ilsley Public Library. More info. at HenrySheldonMuseum.org or 802-388-2117.
