Thanks for this. Here in the SF Bay Area Posada is a graphic touchstone for most Chican@ graphics artists. You comment that "cartoonists and illustrators tend not to be viewed (unfairly, I might add) as “real” artists" but even more broadly, social justice poster artists get little respect from the "art world." But then, respect isn't what they are looking for.
