    About Mort Gerberg Cartoons: An American Chronicle

    Now playing at the DiMenna Children’s History Museum, *Mort Gerberg Cartoons: An American Chronicle* presents the work of New York cartoonist Mort Gerberg as a record of everyday public life. The exhibition traces how a single-panel drawing can track shifting attitudes about work, politics, family, and the city itself, in a form that’s legible to kids and adults. Gerberg’s lines are clean and quick, but the point is often structural: humor as a way to file history while it is still unfolding.
