Join State Historical Society of Missouri Art Curator Joan Stack on an informal walk-through of SHSMO's current exhibition "Daily Disney: Walt Disney Cartoons in the Funny Pages." Disney, who grew up in the Missouri towns of Marceline and Kansas City, cross-promoted his animated cartoons with nationally syndicated comic strips. This exhibition includes a selection of these cartoons, as well as other images, such as a photo of Missouri artist Thomas Hart Benton at Disney Studios, that reflect Disney's powerful influence on American culture.

Learn more about this special collection during Dr. Stack's talk as she walks us through the images displayed in this exhibition. Free and open to the public!
