"Jamie Smith, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner cartoonist since 1988, will be downtown doing in-house demos and giving away original art to new subscribers + renewals. Along with last year’s lineup of beaver, bear, moose & dog – we’ve added a salmon and a raven to this year’s critters!
Stop by the front lobby to check out more bonus deals, grab a hotdog and watch live as he creates his feature cartoon “Nuggets” + support your local paper, independent journalism, & the peripheral talent too"

Seeing as how last year's gig was so rudely interrupted by an October snowstorm - and hampered by the continuing pandemic - we went ahead and bumped the event up by a month so as to take advantage of the fabulous weather this fall season. And again we're holding it on a "1st Friday" to hopefully catch folks out & about checking on other art events, and spread out over most of the day to pace it out a bit too.
While this is a really super fun occasion, as I've mentioned here on this platform many times before, I've long maintained that cartoonists have a vested interest in supporting journalism and at the very least their local newspaper. Also as a special to readers of Ink & Snow who subscribe via online for the digital edition go ahead and shoot me an email and I'll drop off a drawing in the mail signed special to you... thanks!
