From Trump to the Pope: Inside the Mind of Political Cartoonist Ted Rall

In partnership with:
Date and time
Wednesday, June 20, 2018

Political cartoonist Ted Rall discusses his latest in a collection of graphic biographies, this time focused on Francis, the People’s Pope. Rall presents the life, ideas, and political impact of the most progressive spiritual leader in the Roman Catholic church’s history. Raised Roman Catholic himself, Ted Rall is able to bring depth to his latest graphic biography as perhaps no other writer or comics artist could. Rall's art is always attuned to the human comedy, his protagonists funny at the same time as they provide a serious account of some of the most pressing issues and struggles of our times.
