Description
Garry Trudeau "Palm Beach ID Cards" Doonesbury Daily 06-21-1985 Comic Strip NFT Digital Art Print Original Art #1/1 and Physical Print (Garry Trudeau, 2022). "The legendary Mary McGrory once told me that in all her years of writing columns, she wasn't sure a single one of them had ever actually changed anything. That's not a bar that cartoonists generally set for themselves, but in the case of my story arc about racist Palm Beach pass cards, the strip did in fact have an impact. Exposure of the apartheid-like ordinance proved so embarrassing to Florida that the state legislature passed a law banning it. It was called the "Doonesbury Bill, " and the governor sent me the signing pen. Still, that's the exception. Most of the time, expecting satire to make a difference is purely aspirational." - Garry TrudeauAn original NFT celebrating the 50th anniversary of Doonesbury, minted by Heritage Auctions on behalf of artist Garry Trudeau.
Also included is a 17.25" x 7.25" black and white physical print that is titled and signed in the lower margin. In Excellent condition.
