Arkansas Arts Center Library Collection of George Fisher Cartoons.
Fisher.1986.06.01

Native Arkansan and longtime political cartoonist, George Fisher caricatured Arkansas politics for many years, including Bill Clinton’s journey as Arkansas attorney general and later governor, and two-term American president. For most of his career, Fisher hid his wife Rosemary Snook Fisher’s nickname, “Snooky,” into most of his cartoons. Finding it became a favorite game for those who read his cartoons regularly.

The Arkansas Arts Center has several pieces by Fisher in its collection. They are showcasing these through Sunday, November 23, in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Clinton Presidential Center.
