4. Lou Erickson (“Eric”) – Atlanta Journal Editorial Cartoonist, 1950–1982

This gallery preserves original editorial cartoons by Lou “Eric” Erickson, who defined a generation of Atlanta Journal satire. From sharp political commentary to his Bicentennial series Georgia’s Ragtag Rebellion, Erickson blended humor with history in ways that still resonate today. Many works retain production overlays, editorial notes, and published clippings — making this collection one of the most complete surviving records of Erickson’s output.
