Herblock Exhibit at LOC Opens Today

A small but still substantial exhibit of sketches and cartoons by the late Herb Block is scheduled to open at the Library of Congress today. This nudges into the comics-news radar for a few reasons. One, Herblock was one of the great cartoonists of the 20th Century and I would encourage anyone with the time and inclination to see the show. Two, the article notes that this is a precursor to a much bigger exhibit to take place a couple of years down the line. Three, because Herblock was wealthy at the time of his death, the foundation bearing his name should make it so that the editorial cartoonist will end up one of the most thoroughly exhibited and as a result warmly remembered cartoonists of his era.
