Program Description
Description
Fairfield County was the home for many top cartoonists during the middle of the last century. Most of them worked at home in their studios and sought companionship with their professional peers at local restaurants like Mario’s, across from the Westport train station, purchased their supplies at Max’s on the Post Road and played golf at Longshore.
Come join Brian Walker as he shares stories from his father’s (Mort Walker) illustrious career producing Beetle Bailey and Hi and Lois and how his family continues his father's work today. Books on the Common will be selling his two newly released books Mort Walker's Beetle Bailey: 75 years of Smiles & The Lexicon of Comicana.
This series of lectures, films, and workshops focuses on art, architecture, and design is dedicated to exploring the creative process. ARTalks is co-sponsored by the Ridgefield Library and the Ridgefield Guild of Artists.
