We want to share our photo album of the annual bacchanalia held by the National Cartoonists Society with you. We especially want to thank the indefatigable David Folkman, who, besides being Hogan's Alley's peerless art director, also took all of the following pictures. If you are pictured below and feel incriminated, it's his fault.
