unbound. Handwritten note from Herb Block to Washington columnist and colleague Tom Shales. Great content. Written in pencil on brown note paper, Block tells Shales "The Potatolympics (or as Quayle would say Potatoelympics) is wonderful! Count me as an entry. The sketch was just for-fun last week. Herb". On June 15, 1992, Vice President Dan Quayle visited a spelling bee at Munoz Rivera Elementary School in Trenton, New Jersey. When a 12-year-old student correctly spelled "potato," Quayle incorrectly instructed him to add an "e" at the end, resulting in the misspelled word "potatoe". Tom Shales was a frequent, often acerbic commentator on Dan Quayle during the 1988 presidential campaign and his subsequent vice presidency. Herbert Lawrence Block, commonly known as Herblock was an American editorial cartoonist and author best known for his commentaries on national domestic and foreign policy.

This item is from the collection of Television critic Tom Shales (1944 - 2024). Shales was an incisively funny Washington Post columnist, he earned the nickname Terrible Tom and had the clout to make or break shows. Shales won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1988. During his three-decade career those in the industry considered him both a kingmaker and a high executioner in an era when network television's hold on American culture was at it's peak. Time magazine called him "brilliant, thoughtful, incisive and screamingly funny.also, vicious, infuriating, cruel and unfair". His thrice-weekly Washington Post TV column, 'On the Air,' syndicated in 59 other newspapers.

unbound. Personal letter from Herb Block to Washington Post columnist and colleague Tom Shales. Written on personal 'Thank You' stationery which depicts Block working on a cartoon. Block tells Shales "Dear Tom - Thank You - for that great card and note! See you soon Herb". Date unknown. Shales famously described Block as a "journalistic institution" and an unparalleled satirist who held corrupt politicians accountable for decades. In his reviews and columns, Shales highlighted Herblock's biting pen, his role in coining the term McCarthyism, and his relentless defense of civil liberties and democratic institutions. Shales viewed Block not just as an illustrator, but as a fearless, towering voice in the nation's capital Herbert Lawrence Block, commonly known as Herblock was an American editorial cartoonist and author best known for his commentaries on national domestic and foreign policy.
