Riassunto

This extensively illustrated book tells the story of the American political cartoon, from its origins over 250 years ago to the present. Edward Lordan gives us a tour of artists, politics, media, American society, and the technology of cartooning, including the work of Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere, Currier & Ives, Thomas Nast, Dr. Seuss, Pat Oliphant, Draper Hill, Tom Toles, Ted Rall, Mike Keefe, and countless others. Interviews with today's political cartoonists - including Pulitzer winners Ann Telnaes and Signe Wilkinson - go behind the art form, to show how and why we respond to editorial cartoons, as well as what syndication and the Internet mean to the future of political cartooning.
