What do current debates about social media, trigger warnings, fake news, and libel have to do with the First Amendment and editorial cartoonists? Editorial cartoonists both benefit from and defend First Amendment speech and press protections. This exhibition examines free speech through historical works from the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum’s collections as well as contemporary works by members of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists. Ann Telnaes, Pulitzer-Prize winning political cartoonist, and Lucy Shelton Caswell, Professor Emerita and Founding Curator of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, co-curated this exhibition. Drawing Blood traces the history of comics’ obsession with medicine from the 18th century to today. The earliest cartoonists frequently satirized a medical practice dominated by bloodletting, purging, and other largely ineffective treatments. Over the next two centuries, modern medicine would go through remarkable transformations. Comics were there for the good and the bad, helping to rebrand the doctor from quack to hero, but also critiquing a medical system that often privileged profits over patients. Curated by Professor Jared Gardner, OSU Department of English This permanent exhibit features a selection of exceptional artwork and artifacts highlighting the breadth and depth of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum collections. What's Clip Studio Paint got that Photoshop doesn't? Jerzy Drozd (The Warren Commission Report, Science Comics: Rockets) will lead a demonstration on the basic tools of Clip Studio Paint and explore some of the unique ways it solves the problems of making comics digitally.

Anderson is one of comics' most compelling speakers and his career to date has been a formidable one! Three of the great artists in the entire field attending this weekend's CXC have one definite thing in common: California residency, or a long period living in that great state. Is there a set of regional values that inform their amazing comics? Legendary artist Jaime Hernandez, Alt-Underground icon Mary Fleener and the enormously talented Hellen Jo talk about what they've and how they've made things in reaction. Jeff Smith and Terry Moore are friend in comics and have a lot in comics: they are both wonderful artists, they have tended to multiple long comic-book series, and they spent a big chunk of their professional life working in independent comics and its self-publishing wing. Spoiler alert: everything turned out well. What were the challenges in those early days and how did they both grow into the elder statesman role.? How does a young cartoonist move from promising newcomer to productive veteran? Let industry veteran Laurenn McCubbin, now also an educator at CCAD, lead a panel about the practicalities of putting together the kills that take a cartoon from a single book to multiples.
