[edit]- History
Noggin debuted on October 5, 1990, with V1N1.[1] It was founded by Tom Hunter with the help and inspiration of his friend, Willie Atwell, publisher of the Iowa City Funnies.
- Cartoons
Every piece of fiction carried illustrations. Though the absolute page count varied from 12-24, the last page always contained a full-page cartoon by Scott Warren. The pages of Noggin also carried cartoons by editorial cartoonist Joe Sharpnack.
- Politics
Noggin's controversial third issue [2] was devoted to opposition to the Gulf War.[3] This coincided with a heavily political time in Iowa City and a march with an alleged 10,000 participants through the streets of Iowa City in protest of George H. W. Bush's Gulf War.
- Controversial Issues
Noggin V1,N3 from January 1991 opposed the Gulf War,[4] thereby generating a controversy in the Daily Iowan and Iowa City Press-Citizen.[citation needed] thumb
- Controversial cartoons by Scott Warren
Noggin V1, N4 [5] from March 1991 carried a full-page cartoon called "Ranger Woody"[6] on its back cover. This work by cartoonist Scott Warren proved controversial for its brutal humor[citation needed]. thumb
Noggin V2, N7 from November/December 1991 caused a controversy with its publication of Scott Warren's three page cartoon based on the life and career of serial murderer Ed Gein. A pro-choice group whose pages were published in the same edition expressed outrage at the brutality by Gein as depicted in the cartoons.[citation needed]
