I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

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 rubbed his cheek he was telling the truth...
But if his lips were moving, he was lying!"

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
