My good friend Sergio Aragones has a new exhibit in Ojai

Sergio has a new exhibit in Ojai, SERGIO’S CARTOON COLLECTION: Over a Century of Cartoon Art. This time the focus is not on his art but on the art of his collection including comic strips and other work by many fine artists.
"Over a century of cartoons are included in the eclectic exhibition, each acquired by Aragonés because of its humorous qualities. He searched for examples from the most influential cartoonists from his boyhood and beyond."

Opening reception, with Sergio in attendance, is Saturday, August 1 from 5 to 7pm. The cost is $20 ($15 for members) and includes hors d’oeuvres and a no host wine bar.
The museum is located at 130 W. Ojai Avenue, Ojai, CA. Regular museum admission is: adults $5.00, children 6–18 $1.00, children 5 and under free, and current 2015 members free. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday noon to 4 p.m. Tours available by appointment. Free parking is available behind the museum, off Blanche Street.
For more information, call the museum at (805) 640-1390, ext. 203, e-mail ojaimuseum@sbcglobal.net, or visit the museum website at OjaiValleyMuseum.org.

Artwork includes samples from Mad, Peanuts, Blondie, and many others. Hopefully there will be some of Mafalda, an excellent comic strip from Argentina.
