Details:
The ToonSeum presents an exhibition of epic funny page proportions! More than 50 pieces of original comic strip art -- all from the same Sunday in 2010.
The exhibit is a who’s who of the modern American comic strip, featuring the likes of Garfield, Beetle Bailey, Doonsebury and many more.
The ToonSeum’s new Lou Scheimer Gallery is transformed into a ginormous slice of everyone’s favorite section of the newspaper.
Exhibit curator and publisher John Read called upon members of the National Cartoonists Society to loan strips from the same Sunday. That Sunday is April 11, 2010. While that date holds no specific significance, it offers a look at a day in the life of the comic strip, a uniquely American art form.
Many of the strips featured presently run in Pittsburgh-area newspapers. Others are ones that ToonSeum Executive Director Joe Wos says should be featured locally!
“We had over 100 strips to pick from for the display, and some will rotate into the exhibit over the next month or so,” Wos said. “It was a difficult task to narrow it down. We tried to choose ones that the public loved, as well as ones that we felt were underappreciated in Pittsburgh.”
The ToonSeum is hoping the public and area newspapers will take notice of comic strips such as “The Pajama Diaries” and “Zippy the Pinhead.”
The exhibit will open Dec. 9th and run through the end of January in the ToonSeum’s Lou Scheimer Gallery.
