Taught via correspondence course by the comics editor Lawrence Lariar, mentored by the New Yorker cartoonist Charles Barsotti, and inspired by the call of the poet Amiri Baraka to celebrate and depict Black life in America, Johnson crafted some of the fiercest and funniest cartoons of the twentieth century. Reimagining the gag comic as a powerful and incendiary tool, Johnson tackled America's mid-century afflictions-segregation, inner-city poverty, police brutality, and white supremacy-by craftily subverting stale gag tropes. He populated them with bullet-dodging Black Panthers, doubt-filled Klansmen, militant babies, self-serving politicians, and complacent suburban liberals. This collection, Johnson's first in nearly fifty years, brings together work from across his career: college newspaper gags, selections from his books Black Humor and Half-Past Nation Time, his unpublished manuscript Lumps in the Melting Pot, and uncollected pieces. Taken together, this volume reveals Johnson as long overdue for appreciation as a cartoonist of the first order"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a American wit and humor, Pictorial. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations $v Caricatures and cartoons. 941 $a 8 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043341.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231121010457.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031535.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031347.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230302010747.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230221011400.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230203010256.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20221228010407.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D3A0FDDC753311EDBCB8DF3E50ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
