Larry’s Cartoon Vault: Things Don’t Change Much

Here’s another cartoon clip of days gone by. This one by the legendary Herblock from 1949. You know, back in the olden days when various groups found it politically useful to scapegoat school teachers.

Larry's Cartoon Vault: Things Don't Change Much

Every so often I post an old cartoon clip here under the heading "Things Don't Change Much" (aka Cartoon Deja Vu).

This one is a little different.

In this instance, the cartoon by Vaughn Shoemaker (date unknown, but certainly a few decades old), the topic (persecuted people) is familiar but what is absent is the divisiveness that seems almost mandatory today.  

Just as interesting is the fact that Shoemaker was a political conservative and founder of the Christian Artists Fellowship Club  He said he began each cartooning work day with a prayer. Today, more often than not, the 'persecuted' are demonized by conservative media.
