Meet the Cartoonists Behind "Lobster Therapy" at Camden Public Library

Camden, Maine - Poking fun at everyone from the locals, to folks from away, and even to the wildlife, Lobster Therapy collects more than 100 cartoons from five of Maine’s best artists working in the field. It’ll leave you in stitches and just might help lower your blood pressure the next time you’re stuck on Route 1 or I-95. David Jacobson, John Klossner, and Bill Woodman will be at the Camden Public Library at 4:00 pm on Friday, July 6.

Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event by Sherman’s, and there will be an opportunity to have them signed.
