Lines of Laughter: The Humor of Jeff MacNelly
Jeff MacNelly (1947-2000) was a cartoonist who received international recognition for his innovative work. He is well-known for his political cartoons, for which he received three Pulitzer prizes, through which he confronted and satirized issues he found on both sides of the isle. His panel comic Pluggers brought humor to the struggles and challenges of everyday life, while his comic strip Shoe detailed the lives of the eccentric animal residents of the town Tree Tops. The exhibit includes original giclée prints of MacNelly's cartoons and comics along with examples of his Shoe books.
The exhibit is on display in the Iwasaki Library, which is located on the 3rd floor of the Walker building (120 Boylston Street), and can be viewed by the Emerson College community during the library's normal business hours.
