The February
Fettuccine Forum will examine the world of editorial cartoons with a
presentation by Atlanta newspaper cartoonist Michael Luckovich. The free lecture
series is Feb. 1 in the Rose Room in the historic Union Block, 718 W. Idaho
Street. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the presentation begins at 5:30 p.m. Free
appetizers will be served and fettuccine will be available for $5.
Titled “Blood, Sweat, and Ink: The world of editorial cartooning,” the evening
will focus on politics as seen through the eyes of Pulitzer Prize-winning
political cartoonist and former Boisean Michael Luckovich of the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution. Luckovich has been called the most reprinted editorial
cartoonist in the country, with cartoons appearing in publications like
Newsweek, The Washington Post and more. He also recently published a collection
of cartoons titled “Four More Wars!”
The forum is co-sponsored by The Idaho Statesman, Boise State University’s
Center for Idaho History and Politics and the Boise City Office of the Mayor.
The Fettuccine Forum is an educational forum about the history and cultural life
of Boise and the Treasure Valley. Lively and informal, the monthly event invites
the public to interact with politicians, artists, historians, activists,
advocates and professionals who treasure life in our booming valley and strive
to make it a better place.

Century.” Former Supreme Court Justice Byron Johnson explains how Idaho’s “trial
of the century” shaped the future of American law. Companion workshop, “Personal
