by Angola, IN, artist Lee P. Sauer
Sauer shows the relationship between cave drawings in 15,000 BC and modern cartoons. Along the way, he discusses ancient Egyptian art, Greek and Roman art, the first political cartoons of the Reformation, Charles Philipon's "fathead" drawings of King Louis Philippe, and "The Yellow Kid's" appeal to new American immigrants.
Libraries find "A Cartoon History" makes a great evening program. For a testimonial, please contact Jay County Public Library Youth Services Director Linda Shreve.
