Spitting Cobras: North Carolina Editorial Cartooning in Seven Controversies at BRAHM
April 4 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
$8
Appalachian State University English professor Craig Fischer—who teaches classes in comics and graphic novels—will speak on seven editorial cartoons that enraged readers and newspaper publishers alike. Drawn by such talented North Carolina editorial cartoonists as Billy Borne (Asheville Citizen), Doug Marlette (Charlotte Observer), and Dwane Powell (Raleigh News and Observer), these are images that captured historical and contemporary tensions in our state’s politics and culture. Let’s explore those images and tensions together. Plus: Fischer will end with a multimedia compilation of 100+ comic-book artists, book illustrators, zine makers, and more, all connected to North Carolina.
