I went to the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum on a trip to Columbus, OH recently. Although their collection is huge their public museum area is small, but the exhibits are very creatively executed. Here are some pics!
A single panel cartoon showing a girl covering her eyes and saying, "Oh, great day in th' morning! I can't watch this an' still be a lady!!" An art piece in a museum in which pages of an illustrated book are suspended above an open box. The pages are in a cyclone shape, giving the impression of flying out of the box in a whirlwind. A museum exhibit labeled 'Motion Lines: How Cartoonists Draw Movement'. There are comic strips on the walls and in glass cases. A museum exhibit featuring the art of cartoonist Carol Tyler. In addition to framed art on the walls there are murals of the artist herself and headshots of the Beatles, plus objects on shelves and suspended from the ceiling.

Having Boomer parents can be funny.
Me: What's this?
Mom: A Christmas gift. I decided to finally try it out.
Me: When did you get it? The 60s?
Mom: Well, it was before zip codes.
Me: What?
Mom: Well, see the address on the box? It was before we had zip codes.
Me: Huh.
