The Art Students League is proud to present a conversation between League alum and award-winning cartoonist Liza Donnelly and author and illustrator Roxie Munro. Donnelly is a prolific author, visual journalist, and public speaker, whose popular TED Talks have been viewed more than a million times.
Munro, an author of more than 45 children’s books, will lead Donnelly in a discussion of her latest book, Very Funny Ladies: The New Yorker’s Women Cartoonists, 1925–2021. Described as an “anthology of funny, poignant, and entertaining cartoons, biographical sketches, and social history,” Very Funny Ladies includes Donnelly’s insights and memories of a decades-long career as a cartoonist for The New Yorker, exploring the history and legacy of the many women she’s worked alongside and whose footsteps she’s followed in.
