AHA panel 203. Excellent panel on the state of graphic history, esp. in teaching. I want more of these. AHA needs whole days devoted to not only using comics in the classroom, but comics as archives / historical records too!!

Boys & Girls pages, or similarly titled, are fascinating! Here I've come across a competition to encourage kids between the ages of 16-19 and 11-16 (I think) to decipher Cook's writing in journal entries from his time on HMS Endeavor. Would love to know if any of those kids went on to be historians!

How are those New Year's Resolutions going? I'm off to a slow start this year myself 😆 . This is a "How it Began" by Paul Berdanier. c. 1934, I think this one came from The Evening News out of Harrisburg, PA.

"Our Democracy," from The Smyrna Times 1946. I've found others in the series. Definitely strongly patriotic/jingoistic at times, but loved the sentiment of this one. (Pulled from Chronicling America through the Library of Congress)
