Bob-Clampett-Preis für humanitäre Hilfe
2026 Clampett Humanitarian Award Goes to Richard and Wendy Pini
Comic-Con is proud to announce that the recipients for the 2026 Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award are Elfquest creators Richard and Wendy Pini, for donating $500,000 to establish the Wendy and Richard Pini Comics and Cartoon Endowment at Columbia University.
According to Karen Green, the Curator for Comics and Cartoons at Columbia’s Butler Library, “There are three main areas where the endowment will be used: acquisitions, obviously, but also conservation, and stewardship. That last can include processing, digitizing, promoting—anything that makes the collection more accessible.”
Comic-Con’s Humanitarian Award is presented in the name of famed animator Bob Clampett, who created the TV series Beany and Cecil, designed such popular characters as Porky Pig and Tweety Bird, and directed 84 classic Warner Bros. cartoons. Clampett was a regular guest at Comic-Con in the 1970s and early 1980s. After his death in 1984, the award was created to honor those people in comics and the popular arts who have worked to help others. The recipients are chosen by the Comic-Con Committee.
The award will be presented by Ruth Clampett (Bob’s daughter) during the Eisner Awards ceremony on Friday, July 24 at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel.
Der Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award
Der Humanitarian Award der Comic-Con International wird im Namen des berühmten Trickfilmzeichners Bob Clampett verliehen , der die Fernsehserie Beany und Cecil schuf , so beliebte Figuren wie Schweinchen Dick und Tweety Bird entwarf und bei 84 klassischen Warner Brothers-Trickfilmen Regie führte. Clampett war in den 1970er und frühen 1980er Jahren ein regelmäßiger Gast auf der Comic-Con. Nach seinem Tod im Jahr 1984 wurde der humanitäre Preis ins Leben gerufen, um Menschen zu ehren, die sich im Bereich der Comics und der populären Kunst für andere eingesetzt haben.
