Tuesday, May 14, 5:30-8:30.
The
Lounge at Iwan Ries, 19 South Wabash
Scott Stantis,
editorial cartoonist for the
Chicago Tribune, will
introduce the Cigar Society
to Eric Garcia,
Pilsen-based political
cartoonist, public muralist,
and recent graduate of the
School of the Art Institute
of Chicago.
Scott is often
called a conservative or
libertarian; he calls
himself a contrarian.
Eric is
often called a liberal; he
says his work is
"historically based,
politically charged
criticism, with the goal of
creating dialogue about
complicated issues." |

About
the Cigar Society of Chicago
ONE OF THE OLDEST AND greatest
traditions of the city clubs of Chicago is the discussion of
intellectual, social, legal, artistic, historical, scientific,
musical, theatrical, and philosophical issues in the company of
educated, bright, and appropriately provocative individuals, all
under the beneficent influence of substantial amounts of tobacco
and spirits. The
Cigar Society of Chicago embraces this tradition and
extends it with its Informal Smokers,
University Series lectures, and Cigar Society Dinners,
in which cigars, and from time to time pipes and cigarettes,
appear as an important component of our version of the classical
symposium. To be included in the Cigar Society's
mailing list, write to the Secretary at
curtis.tuckey@logicophilosophicus.org.
