Produktbeschreibung

Here, with George Fisher at his very best, is a unique telling of the story of Arkansas and much of America from the time Orval Faubus first came to represent the state to the nation and the world until the year Bill Clinton assumed that role on a very different stage. Fisher's cartoons have put into perspective much of what has occurred in Arkansas and a good deal of the United States From the 1970 to the early 1990s. These cartoons are also, let us hasten to say, a lot of fun, and sometimes deeply touching, as Fisher creates metaphors to give us new insights into the events that have filled our news magazines, television screens, and conversations.

Autorenporträt

George Fisher began life in Searcy, Arkansas, and grew up at Beebe. He earned two Bronze Stars while serving in the European Theater of Operations during World War II and returned to Beebe with a young English wife, Rosemary Beryl Snook, whose nickname, "Snooky," appeared hidden in all his cartoons published after 1976. In 1946 Fisher became staff cartoonist for the West Memphis News. Three years later he moved to Little Rock and eventually established Fisher Art Service, a commercial graphics firm. In the early 1960s he arranged to do one cartoon a week for the North Little Rock Times. The Arkansas Gazette picked up the cartoons and in 1972 contracted for two cartoons each week. He was the Gazette's chief editorial cartoonist from 1976 until the paper's demise in 1991.
