Description

Newspaper clipping of a political cartoon titled "Showtime in Lacey" published in The Olympian newspaper on January 15, 1989. The pen sketch features a very excited and happy man and woman. The man, left, is weating a suit and tie; the woman, right, is wearing a letter "L" sweater, presumably for "Lacey." The many talking bubbles around them say: "What a great idea!!" "Yay!" "Hey Gang! I've Got It! Let's build a Library!" "We can put it near City Hall!" "We can get money from businesses and the state!!" "The city will give us a million!" "And then all we'll need is another $750,000!!!" "We can have a bake sale!" This editorial cartoon is signed in the lower right "L.A.V.I.N (C) 1989 The Olympian." The satirical message of this cartoon is that the library is asking for a lot of money and raising it through small donations as through a bake sale.
