Not gonna lie: our annual fund could use a little push to the top. Your support helps us maintain our exhibitions, creator events, and educational programs. Please consider making a contribution as part of your year-end giving: cartoonart.org/annual-contributions-2025 Thanks for your consideration!

Picked up the new book of cartoons by @tbtoro.bsky.social recently at @cartoonart.bsky.social — what a hoot. Definitely the kind of humor that helps shake of the winter blahs.

Thanks to comics creator and longtime CAM supporter @ajschumacherart.bsky.social for giving us a nod.

It’s the day after the day after Hanukkah and the day before Christmas, so what better time to be in the giving spirit? A year end $41 donation to the @cartoonart.bsky.social will help support 41 years of this San Francisco institution dedicated to celebrating cartoon artwork in all its many forms 👍🏻

Merry Christmas! What Yuletide comics or cartoons do you enjoy?

Just a heads up that our galleries will be closed on both Christmas (Dec. 25) and New Year's Day (Jan. 1). Enjoy the holiday season and we hope to see you soon during our regular hours. #artmuseum #holidayhours ##cartoonart #TMNT

We're sad to report the passing of Barry Gantt. Not only was he one of CAM’s first board members, but also a cartoon gag writer and major advocate of underground and alternative comics art and its creators as well as an avid zydeco fan. We will miss his ready chuckle and willingness to lend a hand.

We're rolling out a handful of family cartooning workshops Dec. 26–29. Each offers 90 minutes of tag team fun for kids and their grown-ups. No experience necessary; museum admission included(!). Info on these and other programs: cartoonart.org/calendar #familyfun #cartooning

If 41 people who follow my account can donate $41 within the next 41 hours, I'll be incredibly grateful, and so will the next generation of cartoonists. Let's make it happen!

Celebrating 41 Years of the Cartoon Art Museum! It's the perfect time to make a $41 end of the year donation to support our ongoing mission to celebrate cartoon artwork in all its forms and to inspire the next generation of talented creators! www.cartoonart.org/join-support

Okay but that $4.1 million donation would keep the museum going indefinitely, it's beyond all they need

The Cartoon Art Museum is 41 years old today! Perfect time to make a year-end donation of $41 (although $410 or $4.1 million would also be appreciated). www.cartoonart.org/checkout/don...
