Depression-era wisdom

With their anger over joblessness and economic conditions, their outrage over the ineptitude of political leaders and their disgust with high taxes, the Tribune’s Page One cartoons during the Great Depression feel as fresh as the days they were drawn.

This sampling of editorial cartoons, by cartoonists John T. McCutcheon and Carey Orr, appeared from 1931 to 1934.
