Kingston Native, Cartoonist, Returning For Book-signing

WILKES-BARRE — When Terri Libenson was in middle school at Wyoming Valley West, she was also a student of Dallas artist Sue Hand. If you need to verify that, visit Hand’s studio. There you will find Libenson’s entry on one of the ceiling tiles — a Michelangelo-like tradition Hand has kept for all her students over the years. Hand said Libenson climbed a ladder and wrote this on the ceiling tile: “Favors figures and faces.” Libenson also drew a beautiful face next to the words, Hand said. Libenson — already well-established as a cartoonist for syndicated comic strip “The Pajama Diaries” — is now a best-selling author as well.
