Remember Pearl Harbor! In 1942 a unique art exhibit toured the United States to raise money for war bonds, featuring original works by some of the country's most famous cartoonists - CHARLES ADDAMS, PETER ARNO, SYD HOFF, CROCKETT JOHNSON, and more -- lampooning the Axis powers. After their original tour these 'toons returned to a dusty vault where they remained for over 50 years -- until now!
Thanks to the generosity of HILDA TERRY, America's first nationally-syndicated female cartoonist and widow of GREGORY D'ALESSIO, organizer of the original show, MoCCA is proud to whisk visitors back to the World War Two home front to once more enjoy these incredible examples of Art confronting Evil, an issue no more relevant in our time than in 1942.
