Two of America's best-known political cartoonists are currently being honored with public exhibitions in the nation's capital. Pat Oliphant has been producing humorous sketches of Washington's most powerful figures for 53 years. His work is prominent in newspapers across the United States. Oliphant's contemporary, Herbert Block - better known as "Herblock" - died in 2001, but not before etching himself into the hearts of millions with his cartoons. VOA's George Dwyer recently took in tributes to two popular American cartoonists.
