In a feature story about Ben Yomen, it is noted that the labor cartoonist has given some of his original drawings to the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University. Tom Featherstone, Walter P. Reuther Library archivist, oversees the holdings of some 300 paintings and original drawings by Yomen, as well as collections of two other labor cartoonists of the same era. "His graphic style is quite simple and direct," Featherstone says. "He seemed to be very good with his one-panel cartoons, which in my mind are the hardest." A labor cartoonist's job, he says, was to emphasize to workers why they should continue to support their unions.
