Political cartoons can make a major impact. Homer Davenport (1867-1912) got Boss Tweed all riled up. One of Uncle Homer’s most famous cartoons is “No Honest Man Need Fear Cartoons”, which he penned after a bill was introduced to ban them. Homer isn’t my uncle, but I went to HS with someone who can legitimately call him uncle. He is our hometown boy. The Country Boy (his autobiography) is honored in Silverton, Oregon the first weekend in August. We have a parade and Davenport races. And a cartoon contest. Homer imported some of the first Arabian horses to America. My horse, King of the Wind, was 3/4 Davenport Arabian, 1/4 Thoroughbred.
