That was an epic post. This cartoon about Watergate seems like I've seen it recently. Did someone do a Trump version? If not someone should.

Did anyone else think Herblock's McCarthy looked like a stereotypical drunken Irishman? Granted, McCarthy was a drunken (part)Irishman.

He was also a morphine addict, which was hushed up at the time.

Great Herblock post. I'd add that he was also pretty sharp on civil rights and racism.

Call me fake news but I'm pretty sure most of those "facts" aren't actually a thing

I think the Princeton one is true. I remember from an older article that Yale, at least, was something like a quarter Jewish? As only two percent of the population, they tend to be over-represented in a lot of things because they can often pass for white and thus free from a lot of the overt racism that kept more odviously-not-wasps out. Jews still face many problems in society and many of the tools used today to disparage POCs were pioneered against Jews and Catholics.

Everything else is bullshit, because I can guarantee you Jews did not make up 80% of the soviet government.

I love it when political cartoonists show such stylized outright contempt like herblock. Ben Sargent does contempt similarly well.

I like that Lester has adopted "fat, ignorant rear end in a top hat" as his American Everyman. Pretty soon he's going to be drawing his Everyman beating his wife just to really round things out.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
iirc it's more that everyone else in the field rushed to imitate Herblock. He was responsible for the move to simpler style, away from complex full compositions with shading.

Ever since his firing he spends all his days in a darkened room watching the recordings of old meetings on a laptop. If he tries really hard it almost feels like he still has a job there
