As I eagerly await "another time," I want to thank you for this start of an educational project.
A great idea. Cartoons are often powerful and give us gawkers the focus we need but cannot get with our undisciplined cruising of the pages of "so called" news sources, digital or otherwise. If Thomas Nast could give us our image of Santa Claus, he also could pen an image of the Tammany Tiger, Boss Tweed and certain overbuilt, graft ridden court house. (Cost overruns have a longer history than most people think.)
Ted "Dr Seuss" Geisel was a political cartoonist before (and while) he was a children's book author. Do you think Kley's malevolent chimp might have been an ancestor of the Grinch? There's a resemblance.
i always knew there was far more to your art than mere "doodles," as though you just just down with a cup of coffee and whip out marvelous cartoons. Many an art history class could really be enhanced with a lecture or ten about satirical cartoonists and their work. Thanks for giving us insight into the process.
Incredible! I can hardly wait to see who’s next

Until "another time."
