The National Cartoonist Society declared the date in the 1990s to promote support for the cartooning industry, and to recognize the impact they have had on society.

MSCA May Days & More Event News

Hey gang- well, this spring has already been busy. Last weekend Nicki and I attended the Earth Day celebration here in Hernando. It was the first Hernando Farmers Market of the year on the Courthouse Square, and the DeSoto Arts Council had their spring art fest going on there as well. The weather was mostly overcast, but mild temps most of the time we were there and a decent breeze blowing, so it was a very pleasant way to spend a Saturday. Continue reading

Greetings, MSCA’erses,

Sorry for not getting a mid-month email about (thus making this one long), but we have several bits of information that can be money-making opportunities, hang-outs, and more.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW if you can come to events that I need dedicated folks for upcoming events so I can add you to the list.  If you have responded, I won’t need another reply.  I do need at least 6 of us involved for an event to succeed.
Help me get news collected and get your details to me before the last Monday of the month (if you send photos or images we can get them on the website, too).  I’m certain I’m forgetting something, so if another email comes don’t hate on me.
Thanks for being here with me,
Yer MSCA Prez,
Kev!n W!ll!ams

Greetings, to all our favorite ink slinging, pencil pushing, digital doodling, wordsmithing, and enthusiast/collector folks!

Usually, I’ve already submitted a mid-month email; but, the month has been busy (and/or I’ve been lazy).  But, there are a few things still worth sharing, so let me get this to you by reminding you…

As I write this, we’re expecting snow tonight so I have to run and get a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter.  (10 points if you get that reference!
