    Camp Verde AZ (January 6, 2021) – Teen Librarians in Camp Verde and Cottonwood invite teens across the Verde Valley to express their voices and opinions through editorial cartoons! Jan Marc Quisumbing, cartoonist, illustrator, and Cottonwood Public Library Teen Librarian will teach a virtual cartooning workshop on Friday, January 22 from 3:00-4:30p. Fifteen drawing kits will be available at each library starting Tuesday, January 12, on a first-come, first-serve basis. Teens are encouraged to pick up a drawing kit, participate in the cartooning workshop, and return their drawings to their respective libraries for display.

    Unlike the news, editorial cartoons are meant to be biased, poking fun at current events or get people talking. They give the cartoonist an opportunity to share opinions or make a point about topics that can sometimes be difficult to talk about. “The teens I know have strong opinions about everything going on in the world right now, but they don’t really have a voice,” said Camp Verde Teen Librarian, Zack Garcia. “We hope to give teens a chance to tell us what they think or feel about current events or anything really, through the medium of editorial cartooning.”

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
