My condolences, Steve. You've lost a brother in arms. Thanks for your perspective on Mr. Oliphant's art and importance as a visual communicator. May he rest in peace.
Thank you for a tribute to Mr Oliphant and some of the many artists who have made deciphering the news visually a form too many papers, digital and print, dropped. A critical op-ed format, long live you, Steve, and those who continue and will join the ranks.
What an important essay this is! Thank you for the lesson in Illustration and political cartooning. It puts everything in perspective! It honors the greats! Thank you, Steve.
What a great history of political art and all the nuances of the illustrative transitions! So clearly written - I feel educated! I loved that you ended with a photo of yourself between Pat and Ed. Bravo!
Thanks Jim! While I never knew him I really did. His work was part of the architecture of my life. Art remains and talks to others left behind and yet unborn.
Thank you very much, Steve❣️So interesting to learn about Pat Oliphant and to discover him through other artists lenses. I have loved art as long as I can remember Always. Cartooning is a fabulous, succinct distillation. 🎯. I love it❣️. Thank you for this ❣️
Your tribute to the great Pat Oliphant was just beautiful and equally educational.
Loved your comparison to Bebop, all of the drawings you chose to include (including Jack O.!), and the very cool photo of you, Pat, and Edward Sorel. Glad you got to tell Pat what you thought of his work and what an impact it has made on you and your career.

“the bringer of this sensibility“ is a descriptor that you wear as well.
A superb tribute to a master of the art,
Thanks for that, SB.

Thanks to my liberal parents, I grew up on Bill Mauldin and Walt Kelly, the best.
Oooh Kelly!!! Yessss!
My dad was a machinist, so I was a union girl from birth, with not a lot of respect for the bosses.
