Working with the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, I filmed and edited a virtual tour of the exhibit Into the Swamp: The Social and Political Satire of Walt Kelly’s Pogo.” In addition to the exhibit curators, the video features cameos from cartoonists including Jake Tapper, Lynn Johnston, Ben Sargent, Jeff Smith, Garry Trudeau, Jan Eliot and Bill Watterson. The video was screened during a live virtual event, and was later posted to YouTube. Reactions from fans to the video have been overwhelmingly positive, including statements such as:
“Thank you for this, such a great look at Walt’s work and some amazing guests.”
“Very well done! Please do more such Tours.”
“As a former museum educator, I have to say that this is one of the best presentations of its kind that I’ve seen, and I hope it gets a lot of views.”
