We are please to announce that the 2014 benefit auction, sponsored by the Kenosha Festival of Cartooning and the National Cartoonists Society Foundation, raised over $10,000 to be split between the two children's charities in Kenosha!

We were honored to present a check for over $5,000 to the Open Wings School which serves children with autism and other learning challenges and also a check for over $5,000 to the Kenosha Clinic of the Children's Hospitals of Wisconsin.

Thank you so much to all the members of the cartooning community who donated art and ephemera to the auction and to all the bidders who valued those items and bid heartily!

And thank you to the NCS Foundation for making this auction a part of their mission to support community causes through cartooning!

Kenosha Festival of Cartooning 2014 was another smash success!

Mike Cope of Copetoons was, again, our photographer of record. We also had some nice photos by Comic Strip of the Day's Mike Peterson, Tall Tale Radio's Tom Racine and Terri Libenson's husband Michael Davis.

With over 500 photos to review it has taken us a while whittle that number down to something more manageable and to get the photo gallery in order with all the proper captions and photographer credits.
