About this Event
For over a century, cartoonists in Portland have illustrated characters that drove the mythology of the Pacific Northwest, offered biting commentary to the powers that be and gave a framework for regional and national issues. This event will feature a talk by Portland Design History founder, Melissa Delzio who will cover work from the mainstream Oregonian cartoonists to the rise of the “alties” of independent media. A discussion to follow with prominent local comic artists and writers: Shay Mirk, Jonathan Hill and David Walker who carry the torch of this work.
