This weekend's National Cartoonist Society Festival in Southern California embraces fields where female cartoonists are thriving.
"Pajama Diaries," by Terri Libenson. By Michael Cavna Michael Cavna Writer/artist for Comic Riffs, covering visual storytelling, cartoon art/illustration, comedy/satire and animation.
The festival’s programmers spotlight that trend. The special guests over the next three days will include not only such established cartoonists as Hilary Price and Cathy Guisewite and such rising syndicated talents as Maria Scrivan and Dana Claire Simpson , but also Bay Area webcomic creator Shaenon Garrity , French graphic novelist Pénélope Bagieu and Canadian artist Julie Rocheleau .
“Hello, Internet. That’s where you’ll find the new generation of female cartoonists. Heck, that’s where you find the new generation of all cartoonists.” Patrinos, who previously worked at BuzzFeed and Marvel, says her perception had been that comic-strip syndication was largely a stagnant field — that “all these jobs are taken by people who have been doing it for 30 years, and they're like pillars of the strip industry.”— Maritsa Patrinos May 10, 2019 Libenson confirms that larger reality: “Syndicates aren't taking on as many new features overall” as they once did.
Patrinos says she didn’t realize that newspapers or syndicates would even be receptive to her “specific type of Internet humor.” Yet she and Jaimes are proof that such comic sensibilities can sometimes translate to syndication — and that newspaper readers have an appetite for such voices.
