My research was on author and political cartoonist Montagu Modder. I came across many interesting pieces of his, but the political cartoon regarding election turnouts caught my attention the most. The center of the cartoon is Uncle Sam holding a flyer reading “%40 turnout for elections is not the best” sarcastically. There are two Americans surrounding him, one fishing, the other sitting on his couch. The man on the couch is saying “I hast time to vote.” The illustrations are beautiful and it feels like the quintessential political cartoon.

Just out of curiosity, when did he begin drawing political cartoons? I noticed that he even did some for The Sentinel, the local paper, here. If your interest lies in these cartoons, you would certainly be able to find a lot more. Or, you could go in many other directions, as there must be materials in this collection about Carlisle and Dickinson in the 1950s.
