Women in technology, beasts and ‘general mayhem’ will be the three themes of this year’s Galway Carton Festival, set to run for six days from October 4.

Cartoons with a strong water safety message, drawn by leading Irish cartoonists, are set to appear across Galway City centre this week.

“It can be a bit of a loner’s business all this doodling” jokes cartoonist Jim Cogan. “We’re just sitting at home in our studios. At least a festival gets us out to look at each other.”

This year’s Galway Cartoon Festival promises to be the biggest and best yet, with international exhibitions, fascinating talks, public interviews, film screenings, art trails, workshops and competitions taking place around the city from September 29 to October 4.

Galway’s second Cartoon Festival kicks off this weekend on Saturday, and last year’s little acorn has already had an impressive growth spurt. Last year the festival was confined to two venues, whereas this year’s event features work by more than 70 cartoonists from all around the world which will be on show in a minimum of eight locations across the city.
