Bunny Bash 2014

Ended up planning a last second visit to my theme park operation in Massachusetts this weekend, and took the opportunity to swing through New York to attend the annual “Bunny Bash”. This is an unofficial NCS party hosted by the delightful Bunny Hoest Carpenter at her beautiful Long Island home. It’s a wonderful time and you see some pretty famous cartoonists there:

The Lovely Anna won an award for being an awesome NCS First Lady! Unfortunately she wasn’t there, she was back home doing all my NCS work for me!

Some MAD folks… l to r: Me, Ellen, editor Charlie Kadau, art director Sam Viviano and Abrams Publishing editor Charlie Kochman.

Speaking of awards, Long Island Chapter (aka the Berndt Toast Gang) chairman Adrian Sinnott received the Tim Rosenthal Award for volunteerism from the NCS, and a wonderful caricature by Stan Goldberg signed but the cartoonists present. Wonderful guy… both of them!
