Comic Commentary: Cartoons and Cocktails

20091021_pulitzers450.jpg
THURSDAY: As newspapers frantically search for ways to stay solvent, logic directs them to fundraise using the part of the paper people actually read: the cartoons.

Cartoons and Cocktails gathers D.C. political cartoonists and journalists — including Clay Jones, Justin Bilicki, Nate Beeler and Matt Wuerker, Bob Edwards, Gwen Ifill and Valerie Strauss — who will auction off drawings to raise money for a local youth journalism organization and the Cartoonist Rights Network.

You could also be turned into a cartoon yourself, as caricature artist Rajan Sedalia will be drawing portraits throughout the evening.

» National Press Club, 529 14th St. NW; Thu., Oct. 22, $65; 202-662-7500. (Metro Center)
