The show is called "See You in the Funny Papers: The Rich Tradition of St. Louis Cartooning" and will have original art from lots of local comics luminaries, past and present. It should be a cool show, and if seeing an original Beetle Bailey strip or Hirschfield caricature or Ted May Heracles Fart Joke comic doesn't get you going, then there will probably be fancy hors d'oeuvres and wine. And you're nuts.
I'm not gonna give away a sneak-peek of the page I'm showing, but here are some tantalizing tips: "Abe Lincoln, Cutaway, Pro-Wrestling, Logs". You'll have to check out the Gallery at the Sheldon Concert Hall to get your mind blown.
