There were two additional recent screenings of “Funny Business.”  The 60-minute PBS documentary, directed by Lyda Ely,  featuring 12 New Yorker cartoonists, including myself, was shown again twice, two weeks ago, at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, this time in connection with the museum’s exhibit, entitled “Infinite Jest: Caricature and Satire from Leonardo to Levine.”  The first showings of “Funny Business” were noted here in What’s New in January 2011.

Uncommon Goods is now marketing a new set of drinking glasses with my “Sins and Virtues” cartoon designs, along with my other cartoon product designs.  Check them out at uncommongoods.com.

The documentary, FUNNY BUSINESS –An Inside Look at the Art of Cartooning, will be telecast on Thursday evening, May 5^th, at 8pm on PBS’s Channel 13 in New York City.  Directed by Lyda Ely, the hour-long film includes interviews with cartoonists S.Gross, Roz Chast, George Booth, Lee Lorenz, Frank Modell, Victoria Roberts, Matt Diffee, David Sipress, Ed Koren, Arnie Levin and me.  Hear us talk and see us draw — and I even get to play the piano and sing a little —(a very little, thankfully).  This is the first of several local PBS broadcasts scheduled across the country during the year, so if you’re not in NYC, watch for it on other dates and times.  Very entertaining and interesting, with a focus on Lyda’s mother, who aspired to become a New Yorker cartoonist herself and was encouraged by the legendary Charles Addams.
