A Year in Review: Newly Scanned Maps of 2024 [Gerrymander cartoon]

Original Gerrymander cartoon and woodblock at Library of Congress

Excerpted from

A Year in Review: Newly Scanned Maps of 2024 [Gerrymander cartoon]

 Julie Stoner

Library of Congress' Worlds Revealed Blog January 2, 2025

https://blogs.loc.gov/maps/2025/01/a-year-in-review-newly-scanned-maps-of-2024/

The last map I want to highlight is the well known "gerrymander" cartoon, which first appeared in the Boston Gazette on March 26, 1812. The artist, Elkanah Tisdale, drew the cartoon to voice opposition to the new Senate district lines drawn for Essex County, Massachusetts. Governor Elbridge Gerry had signed a law the previous month drawing the lines in the county to heavily favor his own party. Tisdale drew out the new districts in a salamander shape, adding the head, wings, and tail, calling the creature a "Gerry-mander", a term still widely used today.

The Geography and Map Division holds the original wood block carvings used to print the cartoon. Wood blocks were used in early printing. The image would be carved into the wood blocks backwards so when ink was applied and pressed to paper, the image would show the right way. Below you can see both the original blocks and a print created from the wood carvings. You can read more about wood block printing in our blog post, Fabricating the World: Printing with Wood.

Steve Niles was a punk rocker before he was a comic book writer

You can read about his comics career here, and Greed Magazine's Substack newsletter has reprinted an interview from sometime between 1986 and 1988 when he was in the band 3 (or Three).

Crystal City Underground is closing, and its comics connection is long gone

Why is that comics news? Well, many years ago, it was a Northern Virginia location for Steve Geppi's comic shop chain. Wikipedia says they were called Geppi's Comic World, which I had forgotten, and this article in ICv2 has a good history of his career before Diamond Distributors. IIRC, some of the NoVa and DC stores were sold to Another Universe?

The last days of a bizarre, glorious and outdated underground mall

The Crystal City Underground — the nominally subterranean Northern Virginia shopping center that never quite caught up with the times — is closing.

largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google,
Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the
reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and
they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the
American public has allowed them to get away with it..."

—Luigi Mangione, Statement of 12.04.2024 as posted by Ken Klippenstein

For some time now, even the clods on MSNBC and in the Democratic Party
have acknowledged that yes, there is a class war going on. I'd just been
wondering how long it was going to be before the working class got off
its ass and started shooting back.

Cripes, man... how many years now — since at least the first Trump
Regime — has the U.S. Left been pummeling us silly with academic jargon
like "praxis" and hardly ever at all actually showing us "praxis" in
action (as it were)?

Now, you vegan-potlucking clowns want to talk PRAXIS? Luigi served us up
some praxis, sizzlin' hot and spicy.

Happy New Year, MUTHAFUCKAAAHHHHS.
