SLIS Connecting

The purpose of this study was to identify how often map and geographical imagery was part of Eldon Pletcher’s cartoon, the type of map imagery, geographic locations represented, the scale of the imagery, types of geographical landforms, manmade structures indicating place, and whether the imagery was merely locational or important to an understanding of the cartoon’s message.
