Government Comics
About Government Comics
In 1918, the Bureau of Cartoons was established by the Committee on Public Information as a method for recruiting the nation’s cartoonists to promote various campaigns during World War I. The following year, after the war ended, the CPI and its Bureau of Cartoons were abolished, but over the next hundred years the federal government has continued to use cartoons and comics to add visual interest, drama, and fun to the presentation of various types of government information and to simplify complex concepts for a public diverse in age, learning styles, educational levels, and cultural backgrounds.
