Observer cartoonist to sign at Book Nook
On Saturday Dec. 4, Annette’s Book Nook will be hosting cartoonist Jim Gerlock as he does a book signing for his collection of Henry Harry cartoons called “The Best of Henry Heron Cartoons.” The signing will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., so stop in to have some Christmas cookies and juice and say hello to Jim.
Dr. Gerlock M.D. is a retired professor of Radiology, primary author of six medical textbooks and now has been able to fulfill his boyhood dream of becoming a cartoonist. His creation “Henry Heron” has been enjoyed for many years published in the Fort Myers Beach Observer and elsewhere. Now it is available in a book for everyone to enjoy.
This is not the first time the Book Nook has hosted Henry Heron and his girlfriend Hebrietta. This lovable couple has become most lovable since their first appearance in the Beach Observer eight years ago. Their antics have also been published in the Long Island South Hampton Press; North Fork Magazine; and the Charlotte Sun Herald’s The Waterline.
Expect a second book titled “The Worst of Henry Heron Cartoons” to be out soon.
While in the Santini Marina Plaza also stop and enjoy the sidewalks sales going on in conjunction with the Wrap me up for Christmas event. There will be many venders selling arts, crafts and gourmet gifts. There will be a gift-wrapping service and UPS will be on hand for help with shipping, so pick an extra copy of Jim’s book for a friend. It will make a nice Christmas present. The event is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
