Just getting things back together after the great hcommons crash of 2022, so let's try these #introductions again ...

I'm an Associate Professor of History at Creighton University. My book Drawing Liberalism: Herblock’s Political Cartoons in Postwar America will be published in February 2023 from the University of Virginia Press (https://www.upress.virginia.edu/title/5814/). It explores Herblock's political and social impact and argues that his cartoons played a central role in shaping, propagandizing, and defending the ideals of postwar liberalism, a normative set of values and assumptions that dominated American politics and culture after WW2. #comicstudies
