My good friend Anne Hambrock has started a Kickstarter project to help fund the second annual Kenosha Festival of Cartooning! There are lots of cool giveaways for pledgers, so head on over and help back the project!

The Kenosha Festival of Cartooning is a 3 day festival of live presentations,  workshops, a gallery show, panel discussions and community outreach by some of the nation’s top cartoonists. The funds raised will be for the appearance fees, travel and lodging expenses of the artists and will allow the Festival events to be completely free to the public. The funds raised will also pay for publicity materials for the festival and to defray shipping costs for some of the original artwork in the festival exhibit.

Guest speakers are: Stephan Pastis of Pearls Before Swine,Greg Cravens of The Buckets, Michael Jantze from The Norm and Jantze Animation Studios, Norm Feuti of Retail and Gil , Dave Coverly of Speed Bump and Parade Magazine, and panel moderator Tom Racine.
