MSCA – January 2026 Dinner Gathering, Art Show Info, And More News

Greetings all! 
The 2025 year was crazy busy for the MSCA, including the current “Art of the Game” art show which is now running at the Memphis Jewish Community Center.  There is a copy/paste paragraph below for all your socials including the poster.   Installation images are attached.
I’m looking forward to 2026!  Not just our accomplishments in promoting cartoon as art, but in our individual accomplishments.
Speaking of which: what did you find your greatest accomplishment in 2025?  What do you hope to achieve in 2026?  Maybe something you share can be inspirational to the other members in our mid-month newsletter.  Looking forward to hearing from you.
Don’t forget to forward this to your artist friends!  It’s free to join in, just show up!
Likewise, if you have any event news and dates for 2026, please let me know and I’ll add it to the calendar.  Stay up to date at www.midsouthcartoonists.com and www.drawingfunny.com
Happy New Year!
Sincerely, your Looney-Tooney Pres,
Kevin Williams

Earlier this week I sat down with my business major and comics fangirl wife Nicki to talk about how this all could affect the comics industry in both negative and positive ways. Continue reading →

“Drawing Funny” MSCA 2024 Review Pt. 1 & 2

Happy New Year! Two new “Drawing Funny” podcast episodes are now available, and they are the first episodes of 2025! Episode 71 – “MSCA 2024 Review Pt. 1” is the first part of my 2024 year end wrap-up review conversation with Mid-South Cartoonists Association/MSCA president Kevin L. Williams. Kev and I grabbed some dinner after work, and then discussed the very busy year our local cartooning association experienced in 2024. We had a full two and a half pages of notes to go over, so I broke it into two episodes and am releasing them back to back. You can find the second half of our 2hr toon talk on Episode 72 – “MSCA 2024 Review Pt. 2”. Continue reading →
