"Drabble" by Kevin Fagan

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:  Kevin Fagan is the creator and cartoonist of the DRABBLE comic strip. Drabble runs daily in the LA Times, the LA Daily News, and over 100 other newspapers. He signed his first syndicate contract at the age of 21, and Drabble made its debut in 1979. A new installment of Drabble has appeared virtually every day since then (almost 16,000 comic strips). Kevin has written and drawn every strip by hand and by himself.

The Drabble characters include Ralph (the original mall cop), his wife Honeybunch, their dorky son Norman, and the family wiener dog Wally.

There have been 13 Drabble books published, as well as a line of Drabble greeting cards. The latest book is titled "House of Wally" and the next Drabble book "All Wally 3" will be available soon.

Kevin was born in Los Angeles and raised in Inglewood. He currently resides in Mission Viejo, CA.

COVID-19 SAFETY:

- Surgical disposable face masks or medical-grade masks (i.e., KN95, KF94, N95) must be worn at all times unless actively eating or drinking.

- Cloth masks may only be worn if they sit on top of surgical disposable masks.

- Masks must cover the nose and mouth completely, and must not have any exhalation valves, vents, or holes of any kind.

- Remain 6 feet physically distanced wherever possible.

- The Los Angeles Breakfast Club requires proof of full vaccination, along with a government or education issued photo ID, upon arrival. Per the guidelines set by the CDC, full vaccination means that at least 14 days have passed since receiving the final dose of an FDA-authorized or WHO-listed COVID-19 vaccine. For anyone who is eligible, the LABC also requires attendees to have received booster shots. A one-month (30 day) grace period is given to those eligible but have not yet received booster shots. Booster shot eligibility is defined as:

• Moderna recipients ages 18-plus and Pfizer recipients ages 16-plus are eligible for a booster 6 months after their second vaccine dose.
• Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients ages 18-plus are eligible for a booster 2 months after their initial vaccine.
