Jean, I can only imagine how hard it is to lose a child, no matter how old they are. I’m sorry for your loss.

Jay had a great number of fans in the cartoon world, including myself. He was a good guy, and a great editor. He is missed.

God bless you and your family.

Dear Jean,

I’m a past President of the National Cartoonists Society. Jay was very active in the NCS and a great and much loved friend to so many of us in the Society. We all spent many great times together, at NCS gatherings in New York, and each year at the Reuben Awards. We all have very fond memories of Jay and Sarah, and miss them much.

Jay’s great friend Patrick McDonnell made a very moving and eloquent introduction to the Jay Kennedy Memorial Scholarship Award winner during the Reuben Awards this past weekend in New Orleans. Juana – and by extension Jay, of course – received two standing ovations and there were more than a few tears in the room. We should have DVD footage available within the next few weeks, so please send me your email address and I’ll make sure that we burn you a copy.

In the meantime, the Scholarship is administered by our charitable arm, the National Cartoonists Society Foundation. The head of the NCSF is Daryl Cagle. He too knew Jay well for many years. Drop Daryl a note at daryl@cagle.com and I’m sure he will be happy to put you in touch with Juana.

Warmest regards,
Steve McGarry
NCS President 2001-2005

I am Jay Kennedy’s mom.

I agree with the note stating that “one of your own” was selected —- a cartoonist.

Could someone from somewhere send Juana’s address to me? I would like to send a note to her.

Jay loved the world of cartoons good, bad or indifferent. To have had this fund established in his name means so much to me and his siblngs. It is just one step in keeping the cartoon world alive and hopefully growing. It is gratifying that there were almost 200 applicants in this first year.

JG isn’t the same perp as H.Moore, but he’s almost as bad:

He’s and Indianapolis Colts fan!

Kidding, JG…do you think H.Moore is former Lions WR Herman Moore? I always wonderd what happened to him. From WR to blog spammer? Hmmmm…

I’m starting to wonder if H. Moore would be more open-minded on this issue than J.G. Moore.

Choose cartoonist from this place:

I guess I needed to be more specific.
The United States, not just the “Americas”.

My bad.

Recognize our own….???? Well THAT’S exactly what the NCSF did.
Her entry wasn’t a column, photo, illustration, poem, novel, sculpture or a painting, etc,etc….
A cartoonist organization awarding a cartoon award to a cartoonist for cartoon work….what’s not our own?

Another Moore?

Or is this the same beastiality-obsessed Hellfire Moore (H. Moore) posting under different first initials? I thought we’d seen the last of that crackpot.
