Herblock was born #OTD in 1909. His cartoons depicted some of the most important and contentious events of the twentieth century, many of which continue to resonate today. My book, Drawing Liberalism, explores how he helped define postwar American values.

Happy New Year! (Cartoon credit: #Herblock in The Washington Post, January 1, 1974)
