Mimi Pond proceeds to read some hilarious comics and talks a bit about the cartoonist’s life ending with a great Phyllis Diller anecdote. Brisk and fun. #spx #ignatzawards
The keynote speaker for the Ignatzes is Mimi Pond! She talks of when cartoonists were kings of the world like Thomas Nast, and Chester Gould and Charles Schulz. And when she started working she worked at top magazines. And wrote books. And then she wasn’t. #spx #ignatzawards
