The two Web sites Herblock's History: Political Cartoons from the Crash to the Millennium and Dr. Seuss Went to War: A Catalog of Political Cartoons are important resources for readers interested in the distinctive role that editorial cartooning plays in chronicling history as it happens.

In his introduction to Herblock's History, James H. Billington, the Librarian of Congress, writes that “no cartoonist or commentator in America has done more to educate and inform the public during the past seven decades than Herb Block,” or Herblock as he signed his cartoons. Herblock drew thousands of cartoons between 1929 and 2001, most appearing on
