Doug Marlette and the Art of the Editorial Cartoon:
For the 35 years that his work was featured in newspapers across the country, Doug Marlette's cartoons were unflinching.
He confronted popular political figures and powerful religious institutions. No culture, foreign or domestic, was safe from his pen. He received death threats and angry rebukes from his targets, but he never backed away from controversy.
Marlette won numerous awards, including a Pulitzer Prize in 1988. He was killed in an automobile accident in 2007 at age 57.
This retrospective is drawn from Marlette's long career -- which included stops at The Charlotte Observer, The Atlanta Constitution, Newsday, the Tallahassee Democrat and the Tulsa World.
This exhibit was made possible through the generous cooperation of Melinda Marlette.

A Cartoonist's Guide to Presidential Kissers
Lyndon Johnson
Texas Mouth (no upper lip)
"... If he stroked his chin, he was telling the truth...
If he tugged on his ear lobe he was telling the truth...
If he rubbed his cheek he was telling the truth...
But if his lips were moving, he was lying!"
