Philly Fan-Addicts: The 2018 Reuben Awards Weekend
The glitz! The glamour! The chilling sight of alcohol-based life forms poured into tuxedos! As we do each year, we present our photo album of the National Cartoonists Society’s 2018 bacchanalia, held in the City of Brotherly Love over Memorial Day weekend. We especially want to thank the indefatigable David Folkman, who, besides being Hogan’s Alley‘s peerless art director, also took all of the following pictures. If you are pictured below and feel incriminated, it’s his fault (click a thumbnail to enlarge).
