National Cartoonists Society 21646 225207833 2008-07-12T13:41:11Z SmackBot 433328 Date the maintenance tags or general fixes {{Cleanup|date=July 2008}} {{Expand|article|date=January 2007}} The '''National Cartoonists Society''' is the world's largest organization of professional [[cartoonist]]s.{{Fact|date=March 2007}} It presents the '''Reuben Awards'''. The NCS was born in 1946 when groups of cartoonists got together to entertain the troops. They found that they enjoyed each other's company and decided to get together on a regular basis. Today, the NCS membership roster includes over 500 of the world's major cartoonists{{Fact|date=March 2007}}, working in many branches of the profession, including newspaper comic strips and panels, comic books, editorial cartoons, animation, gag cartoons, greeting cards, advertising, magazine and book illustration and more. There is also the notable exclusion of cartoonists who work with web comics. Membership is limited to established professional cartoonists, with a few exceptions of outstanding persons in affiliated fields. The NCS is not a [[guild]] or [[labor union]]. The NCS's stated primary purposes are: "to advance the ideals and standards of professional cartooning in its many forms," "to promote and foster a social, cultural and intellectual interchange among professional cartoonists of all types," and "to stimulate and encourage interest in and acceptance of the art of cartooning by aspiring cartoonists, students and the general public."<ref>[http://www.reuben.org/ncs/history.asp The History of the NCS<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The Society's offices are in [[Winter Park, Florida]]. In addition, the NCS has chartered 16 regional chapters throughout the United States and one in Canada. Chapter Chairpersons sit on the NCS Regional Council and are represented by a National Representative, who is a voting member of the Board of Directors. ==The Reuben Awards== The National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Awards Weekend is a gala annual event which takes place at a site selected by the President. There, during the formal, black-tie banquet evening, the Reuben Award (a statuette designed by and named after the NCS' first president, [[Rube Goldberg]]) is presented to the "Cartoonist of the Year." Cartoonists in various professional divisions are also honored with special plaques for excellence. These awards are voted on by a combination of the general membership (by secret ballot) and specially-formed juries overseen by various NCS Regional Chapters. A cartoonist does not need to be a member of the NCS to receive one of the Society's awards. Prior to 1983, the Reuben Awards Dinner was held in New York, usually at the Plaza. Since then, the event has expanded into a full weekend and is held in a different city each year. Recent Reuben locations have included New York, Boca Raton, San Francisco, Cancun and Kansas City. Each year, during the NCS Annual Reuben Awards Weekend, the Society honors the year's outstanding achievements in all walks of the profession. Excellence in the fields of newspaper strips, newspaper panels, TV animation, feature animation, newspaper illustration, gag cartoons, book illustration, greeting cards, comic books, magazine feature/magazine illustration, and editorial cartoons, is honored in the NCS Division Awards, which are chosen by specially-convened juries at the chapter level. ==Cartoonist of the Year== The recipient of the profession's highest honor, the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year is chosen by a secret ballot of the members. <div style="-moz-column-count: 2;"> *1946: [[Milton Caniff]], ''[[Terry and the Pirates (comic strip)|Terry and the Pirates]]'' *1947: [[Al Capp]], ''[[Li'l Abner]]'' *1948: [[Chic Young]], ''[[Blondie (comic strip)|Blondie]]'' *1949: [[Alex Raymond]], ''[[Rip Kirby]]'' *1950: [[Roy Crane]], ''[[Buz Sawyer]]'' *1951: [[Walt Kelly]], ''[[Pogo (comics)|Pogo]]'' *1952: [[Hank Ketcham]], ''[[Dennis the Menace (U.S.)|Dennis the Menace]]'' *1953: [[Mort Walker]], ''[[Beetle Bailey]]'' *1954: [[Willard Mullin]], [[Sports]] *1955: [[Charles Schulz]], ''[[Peanuts]]'' *1956: Herbert L.
