Posted project update #3Al Jaffee Opening Reception Tuesday, October 5th
Post CommentThe Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art is pleased to invite you to the celebration for our three new exhibitions:
Is This The Al Jaffee Art Exhibit?
Decades of Donnelly: The Art of New Yorker Cartoonist Liza Donnellyand
Denis Kitchen: An Oddly Compelling Mini-RetrospectiveTuesday, October 5th, 7:30 to 9:00 PM
Please join us to celebrate these three fantastic artists, share a class of wine and get a look at all of the great comic and cartoon art on display.
Is This The Al Jaffee Art Exhibit? is an exhibition that spans the many decades of the career of the inimitable Al Jaffee, famous for his long creative association with MAD magazine.
The exhibition will showcase a selection of Al's amazing, all-new illustrations from the just-released biography, Al Jaffee's Mad Life. The drawings chronicle his childhood in a Lithuanian shtetl and his traumatic loss of his mother in the Holocaust. The exhibition will also feature original art from his Mad Fold-Ins, and other classic work from his career at Mad magazine and elsewhere. The exhibition is curated by Danny Fingeroth and Arie Kaplan.
Decades of Donnelly:
The Art of New Yorker Cartoonist Liza Donnelly
A survey of Liza Donnelly's hilariously insightful cartoons from her three decades at The New Yorker Magazine and elsewhere. This exhibition marks the occasion of Donnelly's new book When Do They Serve The Wine? The Folly, Flexibility and Fun of Being a Woman, which explores the evolution of women through their lives and crises.Denis Kitchen: An Oddly Compelling Mini-Retrospectivehttp://www.moccany.org/content/education
A survey of the work of cartoonist, publisher, critic and curator Denis Kitchen.
Denis Kitchen was one of the pioneer underground cartoonists in the late '60s. But he "joined the dark side," becoming a publisher (Kitchen Sink Press) and reducing his drawing. A new book, The Oddly Compelling Art of Denis Kitchen (Dark Horse) shows that he still had a surprisingly productive and diverse career. This mini-retrospective showcases both underground and mainstream art from 1969 to 2005. See the remarkable brush detail that books can't adequately reproduce!All three exhibits are on view October 6th, 2010 - January 30th, 2011

Hello--
I'm still waiting for a response about the items being shipped to those who helped fund the project. I was told the posters were sent out three to four weeks ago-- but I have seen nary a poster. I've tried sending emails to MOCCA, but have not received a response. Looking forward to some information.
Thank you.
Hello--
I received a response regarding the poster-- that it was being shipped again (because I did not receive it the first time), but have not received any answer regarding the book and the t-shirt. Truth be told, I would just like to see the book. Been over a month now since they were supposed to be sent out. Please update for all.
Thank you.
I was hoping to read the book, too :(. it's been about 3 months since the funding ended?
