Kudos to New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly for showcasing the growing number of women in comics.
From Michael Cavna’s Comic Riffs blog:
“I was given the opportunity ahead of time to select the presenters for each award to be given,” Donnelly tells Comic Riffs, “and I decided to choose all cartoonists who are women. More and more of us are now in the business, unlike previous years, and I wanted to celebrate that fact by bringing attention to it.
“Many cartoonists came up to me afterwards – men and women – to thank me for doing that, it was great.”
A good move by Liza Donnelly and good to see she received compliments from both men and woman.
