520 |a This volume presents a survey of the landscape of political cartoons published in the United States from just before the Revolutionary War to the beginning of the Obama Administration. Political cartooning is illustrating to convey a commentary that usually relates to current events or personalities. They typically combine artistic skill, hyperbole and satire in order to question authority and draw attention to subjects such as corruption and other social ills. Such cartoons have always been a part of American journalism and politics, despite the discomfort of the cartoons' targets -- and the delight of their readers.
