he lines of thought on the cover gave us our own lines of thought about the issue and the image. The article began presenting itself in the spring when Jennifer Hayden was scheduled for a live presentation at Labyrinth Books in Princeton. We had hoped to do a feature on her, but the pandemic stopped the event and any story follow up. But she and her cartoons chronicling a difficult time in her life remained in our thoughts. Then, when we saw that museums and galleries were forced to close, we decided to open up our pages as a gallery for artists who felt an urge to communicate with the public and began our “Art of the Quarantine” series. One of those artists was painter and retired editorial cartoonist Bill Hogan whose satirical illustrations playfully and colorfully suddenly made the grim news around us lighter and more bearable. Meanwhile, in our files, there were notes for a story on two cartoonists whose creative process involved a weekly mail exchange of images and critiques. One of the artists was occasional U.S. 1 cartoonist Ken Wilkie. The thought of connecting the cartoonists came over the summer when prominent Princeton-based cartoonist Henry Martin died at the age of 94. And while it would be interesting to write about Martin’s art and contributions, it suddenly became more important to celebrate what Martin and all cartoonists are all about — creating the image. With that in mind, we asked these artists to share some thoughts and images about the art of creating cartoons and soon discovered a story wanting to be told. But before finding it on page 6, let’s look at the cover. In addition to the self-portraits of each artist, Bill Hogan’s fanciful yet complex image says a lot on its own. Says Hogan: “I was going through [Bergen] Record art . . . and came across ‘Hear no evil…’ that was published in The Record in the ’90s, and I thought I could use this drawing for the Covid-19 debacle if I added orange/ yellow color to the hair only. I didn’t want to make the hat with stars, red, white, and blue as I thought the color would compete with the orange hair, so I didn’t add the RWB color. “Where the ‘King’ (seen on page 7) is drawn as a funny cartoon, the ‘hat’ was/is more serious and should have that feeling. Surely Trump doesn’t listen, hear, and kept quiet (talk) about the virus since January, that I didn’t know at the time. I added the virus symbols and loaded this on FB with little interest.” Interestingly, like a lot of thoughtful cartoon expressions, they become a lot more interesting when we finally understand what is happening around us. And so do the hidden people who create the images that help us see.

The first conversation, based on the topic “What is Working? What Challenges are you Facing? Share Solutions!” takes place Monday, October 5, at 5 p.m., as well as Wednesday, October 7, at 11 a.m., and Friday, October 9, at 1 p.m. The program will continue with “Creating Your New ‘Normal’” on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, October 12, 14, and 16, at times to be announced; and “Wellness: You Can’t Pour from an Empty Cup” on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, October 26, 28, and 30, at times also to be announced.

Cartoonists on Putting Their Lives on the Line

by Dan Aubrey

artoons may look like the sidekicks to the printed word, but the eyeful of realization they offer can be quicker to make a point than a mouthful of words. There’s nothing like cutting wit combined with a sharp line to make a viewer laugh, wince, or just go, hmmm. That’s especially true of political and editorial cartoons. Now as we enter the height of the election season, it is time to celebrate cartooning by taking more than a passing glance at the fine art of making a point in pictures. To do so we engaged three cartoonists and teased them into explaining themselves in words in order to help us tune our eyes to their line of work — make that lines. Jennifer Hayden is a Hopewellbased graphic novelist who shares her visual thoughts on a blog found on her website, www.jenniferhayden.com. Her 2015 “The Story of My Tits,” was nominated for an Eisner Award and named one of the best graphic novels of the year by the New York Times, Library Journal, GQ, Comic Book Resources, Paste, Mental Floss, Forbes, and NPR. As she notes on her website, her first book, the 2011 autobiographical collection “Underwire” was “excerpted in The Best American Comics 2013, and her work has appeared in several other anthologies.” She also created two webcomics, the 2013 self-published “Rushes: A Comix Diary” and “S’Crapbook,” named a Notable Comic in The Best American Com-

artists pick the medium that most closely accesses their feeling of being alive. I am also a musician, a fiddle player, but that comes second for me. “Drawing is the thing that takes me the furthest into what life seems to be all about, and it has been since I was very small. “I’m a storyteller, so it’s all about the story. But I don’t work with much of an outline. I let each panel arrive as it wants to, because I like to be surprised. “I start with the words because they are harder for me, then create the image. The text and image talk to each other, which is another level of expression graphic novels add.

One was about learning to drive way too late in life, another was about taking some tests to determine my ideal career and being told to join the clergy, and the third was about my local wedding whose most impressive guest was almost Hurricane Hugo. While the great American novels I was writing in an attic in Rocky Hill were endless and tortured and dull (I’ll burn them soon), these stories for U.S. 1 were the beginning of my love affair with autobiography.” Asked to provide an example of a work and how it works, Hayden provided the following explanation of a panel from her breast cancer memoir, “The Story of My Tits,” published by Top Shelf/IDW in 2015: “It shows exactly what I love about the graphic novel medium, which is the sneaky relationship that can develop between text and image. Here my boyfriend is promising me — while we’re in the car — that he will someday marry me. I felt at that moment that he was my knight in shining armor. “But in the book I didn’t want to say so. I wanted the reader to just take it in — his sincerity, his bewilderment, his youth, my naive delight with a simple promise. So I put him in a full suit of armor on a horse to make my point. The horse, by the way, has a full suit of matching armor, thanks to Google images and my ADD. A lot of what I draw is purely for my own entertainment.”

took office, what he wanted was to be a king-like president in all his silk and glossy satin garb and glory, powerfully parading around in the White House halls at night. “I realized right from the beginning this guy was a charlatan entertainer who wanted all the focus and attention on him and only him. What’s better than to draw him as a king with all those colorful clothes and medals and crown? I just had to find a way of graphically expressing it. A king came to mind. The rest was gravy.”

en Wilkie may be familiar to many in the region as both a longtime and now retired teacher at Riverside Elementary School in Princeton and an occasional U.S. 1 illustrator. With a degree in art and history from Rutgers University and additional study with nationally syndicated cartoonist Mort Gerberg at the New School in New York, the Hamilton-based Wilkie also has a long career of creating cartoons for numerous publications, ranging from Saturday Evening Post to Good Housekeeping. Wilkie said the following about his approach and start: “I can see (the cartoon) in my mind. An image just comes from something I read or heard. If a picture is worth a thousand words then it may be easier to draw the picture instead of writing 1,000 words. “A lot of New Yorker cartoons are just illustrations to turn humorous word play into something that can be published and paid for. “My artistic career has its roots in my grandmother’s wallpaper.

Behind the Scenes with Ken Wilkie

artoonist Ken Wilkie provided a map of sorts to his creative process and how a glance or an overheard comment can be transformed into visual and punch lines: “Sometimes I see something that interests at some level. Attached is a photo on a page of New Yorker of a Polish dancer/gymnast balancing on one hand. I imagined him doing that in yoga class to show off. I did a rough sketch, or thumbnail. Then I thought of one of those yoga class women commenting, ‘But can you do the ‘Hokey Pokey’ and turn yourself around?’ That cartoon hasn’t been sold to

We lived with her for the first five years of my life. By the time we moved, when I started kindergarten, I had added crayon or pencil marks on all the wallpaper within the reach of my five-year-old frame. My grandmother worked as a clerk in the shipping office of the local steel plant. She had tons of paper forms. “These drawings of patterns on the paper my grandmother had around the house were portable and could be shown to neighbors, relatives, and co-workers at the plant. I began to get much more complimentary feedback. ‘He’s quite an artist! He should take lessons!’ ‘This kind of acceptance and praise for my ‘God-given talents’ was a passport to socialization.

This was a boost to my ego that was very valuable in those elementary school days. “Unfortunately, my school didn’t offer art until seventh grade. Ironically, I ended up teaching elementary art for 40 years. “I think I’m more likely to verbally summarize and create from there. Cartoons have to be very economical when it comes to captions, dialogue, and whatever other category of verbiage there might be. Cartoons are meant to just make amusing breaks in text in some magazines. Our eyes scan over it rapidly from left to right as we read in that direction.” As an example of his work, Wilkie submitted the following image and note:

“The art cartoon was triggered by a very pleasant visit to the Guggenheim sometime in the late 1980s. They had a retrospective on the Impressionists. So I went to the top of their spiraling staircase as that was where the chronologically organized exhibit began and descended to the end of the exhibit on the ground floor. It was well done and very informative. Along the way there just a few clusters of visitors examining the art. “In the hour or so I was there I noticed that I heard almost no English spoken. These probably were all tourists from Asia or Europe traveling in the summer. I thought that it would have been interesting to hear what they thought about what they were looking at. It

‘I can see (the cartoon) in my mind. An image just comes from something I read or heard. If a picture is worth a thousand words then it may be easier to draw the picture instead of writing 1,000 words.’

Ken Wilkie, left, and a cartoon inspired by a visit to the Guggenheim. brought to mind the old expression ‘I don’t know art but I know what I like.’ It occurred to me that we find what is familiar and understandable when we look at art. “Somehow that triggered this insightful cartoon, where the viewers who are in solid black are looking at a solid black rectangle are saying ‘OOH’ and ‘AH!’ suggesting there is something they see of themselves or what is familiar to them. Similarly the figures full of dots at the center panel full of dots are having that reaction also. In the last panel full of horizontal lines is perplexing two figures full of vertical lines except for the final figure. He’s tilting his head to the side and sees his vertical lines are horizontal when he changes his view.”

An image of a Polish gymnast standing on one hand sparked the idea for a cartoon that eventually featured a man in a yoga class striking a similar pose. Overheard snippets a conversation on television between Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa inspired the cartoon at right about the effects of gravity on anatomy. anyone yet. “Sometimes I hear something that triggers an idea. My mentor, Mort Gerberg, used to say he would leave the TV or radio on in another room while he worked on his cartoons. Even with his door closed he would hear bits and pieces of conversations that would trigger an idea. In my case, (my wife) had Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest (of

the Kelly and Ryan show) on in the bedroom while I was working in the studio. They typically banter back and forth for around 15 minutes at the beginning of the show with almost nothing off limits. Ryan was complaining about looking in the mirror and not being happy with his 40-something physique compared to his 20-something physique. In particular, how in the

rear view his buttocks are sagging where they were so firm 20 years ago. I thought how I could show some guy looking at his ass in the mirror and what would his wife be doing besides looking at it. Then it

occurred to me that she might have similar issues with her breasts. Thus the punch line ‘I think we need move to a planet with less gravity.’ This was published in Funny Times in November, 2019.”

NAMI Gets Star Power to Spotlight Mental Health

AMI Mercer’s annual Harvest of Hope Wellness Conference — held virtually this year — runs Sunday, October 4, through Thursday, October 8, with programs reflecting the National Alliance for Medical Illness’s goals to promote well-being, raise awareness about mental health challenges, and transform the way people view mental illness in order to foster more inclusive communities. This year’s keynote presentation, set for Monday, October 5, at 7 p.m., is “Creating Mental Harmony in Times of Uncertainly.” The presenter is actress, author, and mental health advocate Mariel Hemingway. Hemingway is the granddaughter of American writer Ernest Hemingway and was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in Woody Allen’s “Manhattan.” She has written about her famous family’s problems with depression and addiction and her own mental health problems in her book “Finding My Balance: A Memoir.” The following excerpt provides a glimpse into her struggles and revelations that she will share during her virtual talk:

any great writers have written about family. It’s one of literature’s primary subjects because it’s one of life’s primary subjects. The most famous quote, of course, is from Tolstoy: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” It’s used so often that it’s a cliché by now. Even though I come from a family that could easily be classified as unhappy — and I, at times, have clarified it that way — I won’t use that quote. The quote that I think I’ll start with is one that risks being a cliché for entirely different reasons: “the world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.” That quote comes from my grandfather, the American author Ernest Hemingway. It’s from “A Farewell to Arms,” the novel he published in 1020 that became his first best seller. It’s a book about war and how it affects both the people who are in it and those who are near it, and how there’s not as much difference between the two as it might initially appear. The quote goes on, in a slightly more depressing vein: “But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.” He wasn’t writing explicitly about family, but the passage always makes me think of family. Specifically, it makes me think of my family, which was a family he helped to create when he and my grandmother had my father a few years before “A Farewell to Arms.” My family — my father, my mother, my tow sisters, and myself — is

the kind of family that, in today’s era of euphemism and doublespeak, gets called “dysfunctional.” In the plainspoken language my grandfather favored, it was a family torn by sadness and disappointment, one in which human frailty and flaws were on constant display. There were emotional problems. There were mental problems. There were addictions. There were suicides. There were problems within people and problems between people. We felt alone when were together. It was a family with breakage, though it never actually broke apart. My parents stayed together for years and years. But that means that the breakage also persisted – it became a central part of how the family was built and how it operated. My sisters and I grew up inside that environment, became defined by it, tried to find ways to negotiate it, and ended up contributing to it despite our best efforts. And yet as I grew up in my family, I didn’t think much about whether or not it was broken. That’s an outsider’s thought. When you’re inside a situation, moving through it day to day, you just think of it as the life you’re living, as this intimately and permanently linked group of people with specific challenges and triumphs. Throughout my life, people have spoken about the Hemingway curse. They pointed to the many difficult things in my family: alcoholism, mental illness, suicide — all of which happened to Hemingways before I was born and would continue to happen to Hemingways throughout my adult life. I was confused. I learned to scoff at the idea, to dismissively say that the people who called us cursed didn’t know what they were talking about.

But also, to be honest, I didn’t know what they were talking about. I didn’t like the term. It was a nasty word that suggested a lack of control — and there was another dimension too, because it’s what my mother used to call getting your period. In my mind, those meanings collided and produced the sense of something dirty: of physical uncleanliness, of moral rot, of a sense of blame laid at the feet of those very people who were suffering. At the same time, though, when people talked about the Hemingway curse, I paid closer attention. I tried to see if I felt tis weight on me.

s I have gotten older, as the events of my youth have become more distant, I have started to think back through the days and months and years, not only to make sense of them now but to think about how I made sense of them back then. Most of what I did back then was a mix of instinct and analysis, of love and fear, of luck both good and bad. Very little of it was done with a sense of larger insight. Sadly, life is laid out tin such a way that you do things long before you understand them. (The key quote here is from Kierkegaard, rather than Tolstoy or my grandfather: “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”) When I was a child, acting the way I did, obsessed with cleanliness and control, constantly at war with the unruliness of the rest of my family, was I aware of the reasons? Hardly. There’s also the issue of other people’s behavior. It’s narcissistic to assume that everyone else in my life — even everyone else in my family — acted in ways whose pri-

mary purpose was to affect me. In most cases, they were just being themselves in the only way they were capable — imperfectly, injudiciously, moving forward with a mix of blindness and sight. Remember that, remembering them, I have to resist the temptation to make them into part of my story at the same time that I have to acknowledge that’s the only thing I am capable of doing. Here, too, I look to my grandfather for inspiration. My favorite book of his is “A Moveable Feast,” his reminiscence of Paris in the 1920s. It’s a book that’s meaningful to me because I went to Paris with my father when I was 11, and he toured me around the city, bringing the pages of the book to life. But it’s also a tutorial on how to convert life into literature without giving in to certain temptations. “A Moveable Feast” is not, on its face, a dramatic story, and yet it deals with deep feelings of love and sadness of creative triumph and personal memory. This book exists in that same spirit, though it’s different in many ways — possibly in all ways. But it’s a watershed in two respects: It separates the turbulent flow of the past from the calmer waters of the present. And in also presents a turning point in the way I see my own history. For years, I pushed aside the most painful and difficult aspects of my family history, or buried them deep inside so that I could move forward with everyday tasks. I am done pushing things aside. Instead, I have decided to look at my life directly, to be clear-eyed about its sorrow but also its joys. This book not only gives me voice — it is my voice.

For years, I pushed aside the most painful and difficult aspects of my family history, or buried them deep inside so that I could move forward with everyday tasks. I am done pushing things aside.

Life in the Fast Lane PU News: Historic Donation, Art Museum Plans

LEXAN SHIELDS FOR COVID

rinceton University has announced a $20 million donation from alumni Kwanza Jones and José E. Feliciano. The gift, the largest ever by Black and Latino donors, comes at a time when the university’s diversity efforts and past history of racism and discrimination have been under increased scrutiny. The gift also comes as the university is planning a significant expansion of the undergraduate student body, including the construction of two new residential colleges. Two new dormitories will be named for Jones and Feliciano. Jones, a member of the Class of 1993, is an artist, investor, and lawyer who founded Supercharged, a media company specializing in self-development. Her husband, Feliciano, of the Class of 1994, is the founder and a managing partner of Clearlake Capital Group, a private investment firm based in Santa Monica, California. “Their generosity makes possible new dormitories that are essential to Princeton’s future. Through their visionary gift, Kwanza and José are enabling us to increase the number of outstanding undergraduates we admit and to attract and support talented students from all backgrounds,” President Christopher Eisgruber said in a statement. “In addition to supporting the expansion of the undergraduate population, which is among the university’s highest priorities, this historic gift from Kwanza and José diversifies Princeton’s institutional narrative in meaningful ways by weaving their names, identities, and experiences into our shared campus tapestry. As we strive to make Princeton a fully inclusive community, we are fortunate to have their partnership.” “We see this gift as the color of commitment. It celebrates the many contributions to Princeton’s legacy from its diverse students and alumni making a tremendous impact in the world,” Jones said in a statement. “It demonstrates that people of color belong in the room and sit at the table as patrons and co-creators to help the university to continue to do the work of service to humanity. Most importantly, during this time of national reckoning on race and racial injustice, it highlights the benefits that diversity, inclusion, and belonging can bring. Princeton is a microcosm of America; we’re modeling that working together makes us all stronger moving forward.”

he university has also unveiled plans for the new Princeton University Art Museum. Renderings were shown in a late September Zoom-based discussion between museum director James Steward and Sir David Adjaye, the architect leading the redesign project. The new museum will be built on the site of the existing museum in the center of campus, with walkways that will become “artwalks” through the museum. The threestory structure will allow more spaces for exhibitions as well as study and gathering spaces. “The reconstruction of the Art Museum is conceived as a campus within the campus,” said Adjaye, “a space of genuine inquiry where the exhibition of diverse practices, learning as a synthesis of knowl-

edge, and cross-cultural connections weave together into a singular experience that encompasses a multiplicity of ideas and peoples.” The new museum is expected to be completed in 2024. The existing museum has been closed to visitors since March due to COVID-19, but many of its collections can be viewed online at artmuseum.princeton.edu.
