Slices of the Silver State
Nevada Humanities is proud to present Slices of the Silver State, a collection of the best editorial cartoons by the award-winning Nevada artist, Jeff Hickman. Hickman has been publishing his political commentaries in the Reno Gazette-Journal since 2002. The editorial cartoons in Slices of the Silver State address a wide range of topics and subjects, from the presidential election to critical issues facing the state including water use and education. The importance of U.S. Senator Harry Reid's career and transitions between governors, mayors and University of Nevada, Reno presidents provided additional inspiration for Hickman. The book is available for purchase from Nevada Humanities and local bookstores for $14.95.
