Updated: Blog Talk Live: Interview with Mike Edholm, Cartoonist

By Dennis Kornbluh

Tonight on Blog Talk Live my guest will be Mike Edholm, Cartoonist.  Mike has been drawing since the age of two, taking every art course the public school system had to offer, and working at his father’s commercial photography studio from the age of ten, learning the intricacies of photography, graphic arts, and darkroom techniques.  His cartoons have graced the web pages of the Star City Blog since its inception.

Tune in to BlogTalk Live from 6-7pm on KZUM 89.3 FM, on Time-Warner channel 10, or catch the live Internet stream on KZUM.org.

Audio for this evening's show is posted below in two parts:

The Cartoonists Are Coming, The Cartoonists Are Coming!

By Mike Edholm

Lock the doors and guard the chicken coop. On Saturday, February 21st, the members of the National Cartoonist Society North Central Chapter will be descending upon the unsuspecting city of Lincoln, Nebraska for a meeting to judge the Editorial Cartoon entries for this year’s Reuben Awards. Named for the humorist, Rube Goldberg, the Reuben Awards are the “Academy Awards” for cartoonists. Members of the National Cartoonist Society will gather in Hollywood, California, Memorial Day weekend to honor their own with the most prestigious awards they could come up with. More information about the NCS and the Reuben’s can be found at the NCS website, www.reuben.org.
