Few states have enjoyed as rich a history of political cartooning as the great state of Texas. William Sydney (O. Henry) Porter and his depiction of railroad graft, turn-of-the century Tobe Bateman and his trademark goat, Pulitzer Prize winner Ben Sargent--these cartoonists have helped readers understand what this country's changes would mean to them. Even the first cartoon known to have lampooned native son Lyndon Johnson appears in these pages. Their sometimes humorous, always pointed lines have appeared in the \u003ci\u003eAustin American-Statesman\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eHouston Post\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eDallas Morning News\u003c\/i\u003e, and other state papers. With deft movements of pen across page, they have portrayed the events and personalities that have shaped public life. Lone Star cartoonists have provided a record that will amuse and educate new generations of Texans as well as those who remember the originals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaury B.
