“Mother-Goosing the News” is a series of political cartoons originally inspired by the events of September 11th, 2001. Over the years, it grew to include more cartoons, with 7 more being added in 2011.

“Humpty Dumpty” imagines the U.S. economy as the classic fairy tale character. Humpty Dumpty takes a fall, and both political parties do their best to help it with stimulus checks, tax, breaks, and other incentives–– but despite this, the future remains uncertain (or even grim). “Humpty Dumpty” and other political cartoons by Buzzco tackle difficult, complex subjects, but present them in a way we can all understand–– a timeless way to tell a cautionary tale.

This past weekend was “Superstar Art Making” at the MoMA, as part of Uniqlo Family Day. Participants got to MTV-ize their favorite rock star or athlete with markers and other supplies!

Some words from Candy below:
“I was delighted to see how they were going to pull it off (the art supplies are so much better than what I had!!)
They had a slide show of my MTV cels playing as "inspiration", and participants had a choice of dozens of black and white head shots to color and play with-- and they did! And I was told there were over 450 attendees!!!
And they even asked me for my autograph?!”

Thank you to everyone who came to the event–– we hope your experience was “super”!

For the 4th of July, we’re sharing one of the most classic American cultural staples–– American Girl! These animated bumpers were part of a pitch for a show, “American Girl TV”. It features designs created by Norm Bendell, who also designed the characters for Ciba and other projects. While the show never made it to air, Norm illustrated many of the American Girl books that were published. Happy 4th of July to all the American girls (and boys!) out there! 🇺🇸

We are pleased to announce that “Woman: Who is Me?” has been shown at the Simone de Beauvoir Festival in Paris!

“Woman: Who is Me?” was Candy Kugel’s very first commissioned film. It is about how women have been depicted throughout the ages and was created during the feminist movement of the 1970s.

It was written and produced by Judy Keller and narrated by Anne Jackson. It premiered at the Museum of Modern Art on Candy’s birthday in 1977!
