Political cartoons are entertaining art forms that portray public figures and current events in humorous yet thought-provoking ways. With the current use of memes, are political cartoons a dying art? How will they stay relevant in the future? Join us for a fascinating look at the history and evolution of political cartoons as a genre.<\/p>\n

British political cartoon historian Tim Benson, Chicago Tribune’s<\/em> editorial cartoonist Scott Stantis, and local avid political art collector Anthony Mourek will be at Loyola\u2019s downtown campus, to engage in a lively discussion. Friends of the University Libraries Advisory Board member Mariam Pera (BA \u201910, MPP \u201919) will moderate the panel discussion.<\/p>\n
