Sex and Sensibility

Sunday we visited the Cartoon Art Museum here in San Francisco. One of the exhibits, "Sex and Sensibility" showcases the work of ten female cartoonists on the humorous aspects of sex and love. It features cartoons from Liza Donnelly's book under the same name published by Twelve Books.

Some of the cartoonists are Carolita Johnson, Victoria Roberts, Barbara Smaller and Signe Wilkinson.
