    Indiana Cartoons and Cartoonists  
 

From the antics of fat-cat Garfield to the cracker-barrel philosophy of Brown County savant Abe Martin, the many creations of Hoosier cartoonists are highlights in this colorful exhibit. The exhibition also explores the amusing goings-on of characters from comic strips such as "Chic" Jackson's "Roger Bean," which featured the lives of a typical Hoosier family, to the editorial musings of Pulitzer Prize-winning artist John T. McCutcheon, a fierce opponent of America's entry into World War II.

Requires at least 12 feet by 24 feet of floor space.
