Media Release -- Join cartoonist Paul Jon at the Cartoon Art Museum on Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 7pm for a detailed presentation on what it took to get his Fort Knox feature signed and launched with the Washington Post Writers Group (hint: lots of blood, sweat and groveling). The strip launches nationwide on Monday, October 5, 2009. Paul Jon, an Army brat, grew up all over the country and will tell you how he survived the multiple moves, merciless bullies and chronic asthma. He later managed to stuff his experiences in his comic creation, Fort Knox - the first syndicated comic strip centering on a military family. As a special treat, Paul Jon will have his long-suffering parents at the event. Feel free to give them your condolences.

This special event is free and open to the public.
