The exhibition "Roz Chast: Cartoon Memoirs" was on display at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge from June 6 to October 26, 2015. It is currently on view at the Museum of the City of New York through October 16. I got to see it on Thursday evening after Bob Mankoff's presentation. The museum's usual hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

I think we can all agree that this blog could benefit a great deal from more original art by Roz Chast. If you have any to contribute here, please send me a photo or scan. Attempted Bloggery's quick links:
On Thursday evening, New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff came to the Museum of the City of New York to talk about—what else?—New Yorker cartoons. Afterwards the exhibition "Roz Chast: Cartoon Memoirs" was on view and Mr. Mankoff signed copies of his own memoir How About Never--Is Never Good for You?: My Life in Cartoons which will soon be out in paperback.
