This year’s National Cartoonists Society Reuben awards ceremony was held in Kansas City, Mo. The night before we were all invited to a fantastic party at the new headquarters of Andrews McMeel Universal, where I got to rub shoulders with some of the cartoonists in the world. Thanks to the organizers for making it such a fun couple of days, and to Kansas City for hosting us so well.
Here are the pics we took, as well as official pics of a few of the folks we met. For more, visit: https://www.facebook.com/nationalcartoonists
