“Anything worth saying is worth saying funny.” So says veteran New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff. A favorite of CHF’s Laughter Festival (2009), Mankoff returns with a memoir in his chosen medium. In How About Never – Is Never Good For You?: My Life in Cartoons, Mankoff traces his love for the craft and shares why his first love – psychology – was a perfect training ground for a life in “graphic” humor. Enjoy an evening of hilarity and perspective on how cartoons – with a dash of psychology – help us understand ourselves and each other.

This program is generously underwritten by Elaine and Roger Haydock.

A book signing will follow this program.
