AVAILABLE FROM National Council for History Education, 26915 Westwood Road, Suite B-2, Westlake, OH 44145-4657; Tel: 440-835-1776.

DESCRIPTORS *Cartoons; Elementary Secondary Education; Figurative Language; *History Instruction; *Humor; Illustrations; Instructional Materials; *Literary Devices; *Satire; Social Studies; United States History; Visual Aids; World History IDENTIFIERS *Political Cartoons ABSTRACT This essay focuses on the ability of the political cartoon to enhance history instruction. A trend in recent years is for social studies teachers to use these graphics to enhance instruction. Cartoons have the ability to:(1) empower teachers to demonstrate excellence during lessons; (2) prepare students for standardized tests containing cartoon questions;(3) promote critical thinking as in the Bradley Commission's suggestions for developing "History's Habits of the Mind;"(4) develop students' multiple intelligences, especially those of special needs learners; and (5) build lessons that aid students to master standards of governmental or professional curriculum organizations. The article traces the historical development of the political cartoon and provides examples of some of the earliest ones; the contemporary scene is also represented. Suggestions are given for use of research and critical thinking skills in interpreting editorial cartoons. The caricature and symbolism of political cartoons also are explored. An extensive reference section provides additional information and sources for political cartoons.

    1. Creator: Stephen Sack Title: “See No… Hear No… Speak No…” Publication: Ft. Wayne Journal Publication Date: Unknown, 1978-1979 Description: In 1964 Leonid Brezhnev took over as the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Part of the Soviet Union after Nikita Khrushchev was removed from power. He presided over the USSR from 1964 until his death in 1982. Some of Brezhnev’s early changes were to remove the liberalizing reforms made of Khrushchev. Cultural freedom was limited and the secret service, the KBG, regained power. In 1973, the Soviet Union entered an era of economic stagnation which led to unhappiness among the Soviet people. Brezhnev continued the policy of détente with the United States, limiting arms but at the same time building up Soviet military strength.

Creator: Mike Keffe Title: Untitled Publication: Denver Post Publication Date: Unknown, 1980- 1981 Description: Elections were held in the USSR and the United States in 1979 and 1980 respectively. The 1980 presidential campaign was between incumbent Democrat Jimmy Carter and Republican candidate, Ronald Reagan. The election was held on November 4, 1980. Reagan won the electoral college vote by a landslide. In the Soviet Union, elections were held but for appearances only. Vladimir Lenin and the other Bolshevik leaders dissolved the Constituent Assembly in 1918. Under Stalin’s rule the position of General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party became synonymous with “leader of the Soviet Union.” In 1980, the government was controlled by nonelected Communist Politburo members, the Central Committee and a parliament type group called the Supreme Soviet, who only met briefly throughout the year.

  • The Denver Catholic Register WEDNESDAY JUNE 20, 1979 VOL
    The Denver Catholic Register WEDNESDAY JUNE 20, 1979 VOL. LIV NO. 36 Colorado’s Largest Weekly 32 PAGES 25 CENTS PER COPY Conrad, an Editorial Cartoonist Whose Pen Has a Tongue of Fire By Thomas M. Jenkins Assaulting complacency, ridiculing corruption and lambasting the pretentions, malfeasances and idiotic decisions of modern bureaucratic government as well as the personal and spiritual plight of the American citizen, Paul Conrad is a cartoonist who dares to be controversial and take an unequivocal stand. In the process, his six cartoons a week for the Los Angeles Times have been raising blood pressures for the past 16 years. After two Pulitzer Prizes and two published books, his caustic im agery continues to be syndicated in 150 newspapers. Conrad, who was with the Denver Post for 13 years as an editorial cartoonist, has justly earned his place in the procession of the illustrious cartoonist pens of Daumier, Nast, Levine, MacNelly, Mauldin, Herblock, Wright and Oliphant. He maintains the gutsy tradition of those satirists whose ridicule contains the truth necessary to puncture the bubbles of inept leadership, overuse of power, the inability to act, the mistreatment of the disadvantaged, elderly and ignorant, the prolongation of war and the continuation of a destructive monetary policy. If he seems cruel to the politician, it is only to be kind to the Republic. Religious Conviction Unique in presentation is Conrad’s religious conviction. Under no constraining directives from the Los Angeles Times, Conrad is always forthright and sometimes brutal in confronting the spiritual issues of the day. In that process, he disturbs (and even angers) many of his readers as he forces them to look at themselves and their patterns of living.

Since anti-gunners are always saying “no one wants to take your guns away” or they want me to live under their take of “sensible gun laws” (neither of which I believe to be prudent, sensible or anything remotely truthful) I figured I would go to the NRA’s Institute of Legislative Action to find out who are the people that want to be sure that I can’t defend my home or go shooting my .22 in the woods (both heinous acts of human behavior to be sure). So, hats off the the NRA-ILA team for compiling this list. Here is what the NRA-ILA team had to say. The following organizations have lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations. In many instances, these organizations lent their name in support of specific campaigns to pass anti-gun legislation such as the March 1995 HCI “Campaign to Protect Sane Gun Laws.” Many of these organizations were listed as “Campaign Partners,” for having pledged to fight any efforts to repeal the Brady Act and the Clinton “assault weapons” ban.

  • A"Zany" Development
    000_0789737329_FM.qxd 10/19/07 3:13 PM Page viii A "Zany" Development Zany. Is that a quality journalists should aspire to? Walt Handelsman won his second Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning this year with this citation: Awarded to Walt Handelsman of Newsday, Long Island, N.Y., for his stark, sophisticated cartoons and his impressive use of zany animation. Handelsman's editorial cartoons speak for themselves. He does great work and is an old friend. Walt saw a new medium in animation and went to great pains to teach himself the fine points of producing it. And the results are predictably hilarious. But is it an editorial cartoon? Let's put it this way; giving the Pulitzer Prize for an animated cartoon is like awarding it for best novel to Doctor Zhivago starring Omar Sharif. It's just not the same thing. In an industry that seemingly has more awards per person than any other profession, the Pulitzer Prize is arguably the best known and most sought after. Try going into a bar and announce you just won the Fischetti and see how many folks buy you a drink. We were led to believe that this is an award for the newspaper industry. Unless it's broken down and printed on every page so that you can view it as a flipbook, it's hard to imagine how an animated cartoon qualifies. Winners in every category other than cartooning are lavished with words like sharply edged, creative, comprehensive, tenacious, skillful, and zestful.

Not a bad book, for a guy who draws cartoonsBy R. Cushman JohnsonNot a bad book, for a guy who draws cartoons. Could just as easily have been written about Denver Ulery of Icicle Creek fame. "Connie: Lessons from a Life in the Saddle" is Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist David Horsey's tribute to Connie Cox -- Montana rancher, rodeo cowboy, raconteur, rascal and prairie philosopher. In an evocative biographical essay, collected passages of wit and wisdom and 100 photographs, Horsey shares the story of a true son of the American West. Horsey writes: "There are lessons to be learned from men like Connie Cox. And I have to say, there are many such men in the rangelands of Montana and elsewhere in the West; men who have worked hard most days of their lives and who will not be retiring to ride a golf cart and chase a little white ball around some unnatural expanse of perfectly manicured country club grass.
