Jack Ohman and Peter Ames Carlin struck up their long-running friendship while working at The Oregonian, where Ohman was the editorial cartoonist and Carlin was a copy aide who would later become the television columnist and feature writer.
Ohman is now at the Sacramento Bee and is the recipient of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartoons. Carlin is a bestselling author who has written critically acclaimed biographies of rock icons Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney. His newest book, Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul Simon, has just been published by Henry Holt & Co.
Ohman and Carlin will reunite for a conversation led by OHS Executive Director Kerry Tymchuk. Ohman, whose cartoons are featured in the current Comic City, USA exhibit at the Oregon Historical Society, will discuss his career and his take on the 2016 presidential election, and Carlin will share his insights into the life and career of Paul Simon. Copies of Homeward Bound will be available for purchase.
