Also, May 9 is the anniversary of the first American editorial cartoon, published by Benjamin Franklin in 1754. So the NCS has made May 5 Cartoonists Day and May 3-9 Cartoon Appreciation Week. May 7-9 in San Antonio, Texas. The chat will originate from San Antonio and be accessible from the Lycos Web site. Those who do calendars can get the day and week listed on the May page.
Cartoonists can write articles for magazines and try to encourage TV shows to mention the holiday.
Cartoonists and syndicates can mention the day on their Web sites. Syndicates can send out press releases promoting the day. People can write letters to the editor noting the holiday and praising the contributions of a local cartoonist. But she adds that she wanted to join a syndicate affiliated with a newspaper and that WPWG may be able to find her more clients. She's very talented.
