Annapolis Maritime Museum Winter Lecture Series: Cartoonist at Sea: Two Years Sailing the World Through Photographs and Cartoons
Annapolis Maritime Museum 723 Second St., Annapolis, Maryland 21401
For over twenty years, Jim Toomey has been bringing the sea into the homes of millions of newspaper readers through his comic strip Sherman’s Lagoon. Jim will discuss what inspired him to draw a comic strip set under the sea, and with a live-drawing demonstration, he’ll demonstrate how he creates his comic strip.
In the second part of his talk, Jim will discuss his experiences living on a sailboat for two years with his wife, Valerie, their two kids and the family dog, and how he managed to continue publishing a daily comic strip about the ocean while living on the ocean.
Presenter: Jim Toomey | Writer & Cartoonist
