Growing Up Cartoonist in the Baby-boom South: A Memoir And Cartoon Retrospective

In Growing Up Cartoonist in the Baby-Boom South, Kate Salley Palmer relates her unique and often funny adventures as a political cartoonist in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as her efforts “to stay married and raise decent children” while making the 35-mile daily commute from her home in Clemson, SC, to the job she loved (at The Greenville News in Greeville, SC). Growing Up Cartoonist in the Baby-Boom South is part funny, bittersweet memoir, part visual romp, with fully half of its pages devoted to reproductions of Palmer's cartoons and drawings—including several recent creations appearing in print for the first time.
