COMIX PRESENTS CARTOON DUMP
New York, NY – For one night only Comix will host Cartoon Dump, a live children's show parody with a twisted take on the children's shows of yesteryear.

Craptastic vintage cartoons from the 1950’s 60's or 70's are screened between sketches which are curated by cartoon historian Jerry Beck and fun is had by all!
