The National Cartoonist Society launched National Cartoonists Day on May 5th, 1999. Polly Keener and Ken Alvine were co-chairs of the National Cartoonists Day Committee to increase awareness of the holiday. It was on May 5, 1895 that "Hogan's Alley" became the first comic. This is a time to honor all cartoonists in the industry: animation, magazines, comic strips, etc.
