With a few deft strokes of the pen in a limited space, editorial cartoonists have used humor to make contributions to political discussion. Such contributions continue to range from blunt to witty — assessments that may depend on the political orientation of the reader. This Saturday, just in time for the coming RNC convention, the Tampa Museum of Art welcomes Art of the Poison Pens: A Century of American Political Cartoons. This collection of 59 editorial cartoons from the USF Tampa Library’s Mahan Collection of American Humor and Cartoon Art, dates from 1871 —the time of Thomas Nast’s legendary cartoons about Boss Tweed -- to the present and has never before been publicly displayed.
