Haynes Johnson - Herblock

November 12, 2009 - 7:00pm

Johnson, who worked with Herblock at The Washington Post, will launch a new anthology celebrating Block’s life and career. The Post’s editorial cartoonist was a protean figure whose career spanned thirteen American Presidents. His cartoons mocked Senator McCarthy and Richard Nixon, and continued on into the 1980s to take on President Reagan. Block made no pretense of objectivity; he was a good liberal with a love of the political game. In 1984 Herblock was incredibly generous to a tiny new bookstore at 5010 Connecticut Avenue, appearing twice to sign his book.
