Abstract:

Original political cartoon drawings and work calendars of Mike Konopacki, a Madison, Wisconsin, political cartoonist whose work appeared in several Wisconsin publications including The Waukesha Freeman, The Progressive, and the Dane County Labor Council's Union Labor News as well as in various other labor publications. Konopacki also contributed one cartoon per month to the Washington-based news service Press Association Inc. and cartoons to the United Auto Workers union magazine Solidarity. He created cartoons for Gorham House syndicate, a private syndicate formed by Konopacki in 1976; for Rothco, the first national syndicate to which Konopacki sold cartoons, 1976–1978; for Madison Press Connection, 1978-1979; and for his own state syndicate, Huck-Konopacki Labor Cartoons, beginning in November 1983. Also included are photomechanical transfers (PMTs) of some of Konopacki's cartoons. Konopacki's work calendars document the subject matter of each cartoon and for which paper or organization the cartoon was drawn.
