Matthew Diffee of _The New Yorker_ and The Steam Powered Hour will be hosting a special event: cartoonists from _The New Yorker_ and other publications will be competing in a Cartoon-Off!
Watch these cartoonists as they use their intellect and artistic skills as they take audience suggestions–it will be a battle of wits and quills!
The combatants will include Dan Piraro ( _Bizarro_ ), Emily Flake ( _Lulu Eightball, The New Yorker_ ), Drew Dernavich ( _The New Yorker_ ), Bill Plympton ( _The Village Voice_ , _Rolling Stone_ , and an Academy Award-nominated animator), Paul Noth ( _The New Yorker_ and _Pale Force_ creator), and David Sipress ( _The New Yorker_ ).
Two expert banjo players, Noam Pikelny and Tony Trischka, will be providing the music as the sparks and ink fly.
The event will take place on:
**Sunday, September 20th**
**5:30 pm**
**Union Hall, Brooklyn, New York**
Tickets are **$10.00**
