Show notes: In this 95th episode of “Drawing Funny” I go over of some of the Mid-South Cartoonists Association upcoming activity, and other 901 events coming up around town and in the midsouth.
I discuss the MSCA‘s upcoming zines and the monthly dinner gatherings at Garibaldi’s Pizza, Con Cards game nights, Rogue’s Gallery Memphis Strikes Back, Novel Memphis‘ Junior Drawing Club, Stage & Sketch at The Dixon Gallery and Gardens, Memphis Monster Con, Memphis Monster Market, Ave Maria Home visit, Baron Von Opperbean and The River of Time, the Alpha Omega Veterans Center comics donations, Team Toshigawa‘s next episode of “Jetta” on YouTube, Beale Street Monster Club “I’m All Wrapped Up” Mummy event at U of M, CoMeekCon, the future WKNO Art Show Exhibition and MSCA 40th anniversary in 2027, recent podcast mentions on Geek Tank Radio and The Halloween Podcast, Free Little Art Galleries, Jerry “The King Lawler” Street, and Prince Mongo going home, and lots more.
I also talk about the passing of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen. It’s been a sad week…
I’ve wrapped up my “Featured Creatures” art show at Playhouse on the Square and got all of my sold art delivered.
I have several scare-brushed Monsterpieces, some “Scared Silly” marker illustrations, and wood panel acrylic maker paintings that will be on display and for sale at the Memphis Monster Market in October, and the Memphis Monster Con in November.
I’ll also have some new exclusive pieces for Monster Market.
The Memphis Monster Market is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary this year, too!
In March of 2027 the MSCA will be celebrating it’s 40th anniversary.
And speaking of anniversaries, my wife Nicki and I celebrated our 18th dating anniversary…and our 15th wedding anniversary is just around the corner!
Oh, and happy birthday to MSCA president Kevin L. Williams!

Prince Mongo and his castle.
I just noticed in this M.I.B. scene Elvis mentions Norfolk, VA in his song -which is where Robert Hodges/Prince Mongo is from (by way of the planet Zambodia).
