Important Days

World Cartoonist Day, observed annually on 5 May to dedicated to celebrating the remarkable contributions of cartoonists across the globe. Established by the National Cartoonist Society in the 1990s, the day aims to promote and support the cartooning industry while acknowledging its profound impact on society. The celebration of National Cartoonists Day began in 1999, spearheaded by co-chairpersons Polly Keener and Ken Alvine of the National Cartoonists Day Committee. They drew inspiration from Richard Outcault's creation of the cartoon Hogan's Alley, which debuted on May 5, 1895, in the Sunday edition of the New York World.
