Caption: Teju Olaniyan, professor of English and African languages and literature, reads political cartoons in his office in Van Hise Hall. Olaniyan studies political cartoons from across Africa and is developing an encyclopedic Web site to serve as a comparative resource of current and historic cartoons. His favorites include The Cartoonist, a Nigerian magazine, and the book "Democrazy" by Kenyan cartoonist Gado. "Studying cartoons gives good insights into a country's political culture because cartoonists often have wider, more robust views of political events, and because of their wide audience. Everyone loves cartoons," says Olaniyan.
