Herblock’s 100th Kicks Off Festivities
Newspaper industry bible Editor & Publisherhas a succinct wrap-up of events timed to begin today on the 100th anniversary of the birth of the late editorial cartoonist Herblock. (The first of which is noted elsewhere on this site with an event designation.) This includes a major retrospective at the Library of Congress from today through May 1, 2010, and the imminent publication of a book featuring thousands of the iconic cartoonist's cartoons on paper and within the included DVD. Herblock was a formidable cartoonists, one of the best dozen or so working in his profession in the 20th Century; it's great that he passed away after such a long run near the seat of American political power and with the ability to fund a massive foundation which will contribute to this kind of attention and a score of other good works.
