CARTOONS FROM SLU COLLECTION EXHIBITED IN BRUSH GALLERY

CANTON – "Drawing the Line: Fifty Years of Cartoons from the Permanent 
Collection," including works by Garry Trudeau, Tom Tomorrow, Mort Walker, Charles 
Addams and Jules Feiffer, will be on exhibition in St. Lawrence University's 
Richard F. Brush Art Gallery August 18 through October 13.
	Many of the cartoons in the exhibition were donated by Publishers-Hall 
Syndicate in 1969.
	Of the exhibition, St. Lawrence Professor of English J. Kerr Grant 
writes, "The images selected for this show remind us of the broad scope of the 
cartoonist's imagination, which finds its subjects in the rarified air of world 
politics as well as in the mundane arena of daily life. Styles, too, run a 
gamut, from melodrama to soap opera, from whimsy to satire. Today's editorial 
cartoon, with its sardonic take on the doings of the great and not-so-great, 
would have seemed familiar to 18th-century readers, who were used to seeing 
their leaders mercilessly lampooned."
	Examples from such well-known comics as "Blondie," "Beetle Bailey," 
"Mary Worth" and "Doonesbury" are included in the exhibition, as well as work 
by political cartoonist Vaughn Shoemaker and Inuit artist Alootook Ipellie.
