Spring finds our two young cartooning women, Ann Telnaes and Liza Donnelly, enjoying the European countryside as they travel to their joint exhibition at the Maison de Dessin de Presse, Morges which runs through May 2025.

Here we join them in Switzerland as they walk through the exhibit. A pdf guide to the exhibit.

The pair then traveled to Geneva where they were captivated by cartoonist Patrick Chappatte.

Liza, Ann, and Patrick sat down for a chat.

As Ann explains they were in Geneva for a reason:

Last night a Geneva audience watched Laura Nix’s documentary “Democracy Under Siege”. Even though I’ve seen it several times during production, the scenes of the January 6th attack still gives me a gut punch.

Afterwards Patrick Chappatte, the Swiss cartoonist and president of the cartoonists rights organization Freedom Cartoonists, and I did a Q&A where we discussed the current situation for editorial cartoonists and also the impact of the new U.S. administration.

Patrick, by the way, was honored as the recipient of The “Genève reconnaissante” Medal last month.

We are assured that a splendid time was had by all.
