My cartoons were also published in the Great Falls Tribune in Great Falls, Mt., home of Malmstrom Air Force Base. I also had cartoons published in the Rapid City Journal from 1987 to 1992, home of Ellsworth Air Force Base. Thanks for publishing my biography. I also had cartoons published in the Casper (Wy.) Star-Tribune. Their current cartoonist is William Wallace. Thanks for publishing my biography.
Tim does great work and really paved the way here in Sioux Falls for many a cartoonist. He is also a real history buff for the medium and understands its unique place in American culture.
Jason makes a great point about political cartooning's unique place in American culture. It all started in America with Benjamin Franklin and, later, Thomas Nast, who drew the modern day version of Santa Claus as well as the donkey as the symbol of the Democratic party and the elephant as the symbol of the Republican party. I also recently read an article from the archives of the Library of Congress that Dr. Suess drew propaganda political cartoons for a New York publication during the early part of WWII. Most of the cartoons encouraged readers to buy War Bonds. Warner Bros. also had Bugs Bunny cartoons encouraging people to buy Bonds at that time, in addition to highly racist, anti-Japanese themes. In fact, the great Leonardo Da Vinci drew caricatures during his day.
