Series IV: Knoxville and Knox County presents a wide swath of local history through the lens of Daniel’s humor and quirky insights. There are cartoons about political corruption, bootlegging and liquor raids, mayors and other local politicians, and the long history of annexation and government consolidation. There are many cartoons about the 1982 World’s Fair. These cartoons touch on the area’s problems such as air quality and road construction alongside celebrations of its attractions like charitable giving, farmers markets and festivals, and public services.
