• Insiders & Outsiders: Perspectives & Political Commentary
  In the White Oak Room @ 2 to 3 P.M.
  In the long, storied tradition of political cartooning, most of its artists have been outsiders, commenting on the world of politics. With the rise of comics journalism, there are now cartoonists who have had the chance to report about politics and world events from the inside. Join moderator (and SPX Executive Director) Warren Bernard as he explores both perspectives with Ruben Bolling, Sofia Warren, Ally Shwed, and Andy Warner.
• The New New Yorker Cartoonists
  In the White Oak Room @ 4 to 5 P.M.
  The New Yorker cartoon has been around for almost 100 years— why is the art form so beloved? On this panel, which consists of some of the many new and diverse cartoonists that have been brought in, moderator Liza Donnelly will examine the past and present world of New Yorker cartoons with Lonnie Millsap, Sofia Warren, and Sara Lautman.
