The Society of Illustrators hosts an evening of lively discussion between Brian Walker and Tom Gammill on two new books celebrating the legacy of Brian's father Mort.
As the creator of the popular, long-running Beetle Bailey comic strip and the author of The Lexicon of Comicana, Mort Walker made an indelible contribution to the canon of cartooning. His son, Brian Walker, is keeping his legacy alive with two new books: Mort Walker’s Beetle Bailey: 75 Years of Smiles and The Lexicon of Comicana, a new edition of an iconic classic from New York Review Comics with an introduction by Chris Ware and a meticulous appendix by Brian. The Society of Illustrators invites you to a discussion with Brian and acclaimed comedy writer and producer Tom Gammill (SNL, Seinfeld, The Simpsons, Curb Your Enthusiasm) with a book signing to follow.
