"generated_note": "Paul Conrad (1924-2010) research catalog. Compiled 2026-09-24 from pulitzer.org, Library of Congress, The Pop History Dig, Encyclopedia.com, Wikipedia, Spartacus Educational, Toons Mag, the 2010 AP obituary, and the OAC/Huntington, Syracuse, and Wichita State finding aids. Updated 2026-09-24 (image pass): all 10 Library of Congress items were digitized via loc.gov's own full-resolution derivatives (v/r service files, ~800-1024px), downloaded and visually verified against each item's cataloged title/subject; one additional documented cartoon ('Affixing Blame for Our Economic Problems', 1982) was verified via Spartacus Educational; the 3 Pulitzer-year and 3 archive-collection-summary records show a clearly-labeled REPRESENTATIVE cartoon from the matching era/collection, reusing an already-verified image (year-of-work Pulitzers and finding aids name no single cartoon, so none is the literal prize-winning or catalogued work). 25 of 38 records now show a verified image; the remaining 13 documented cartoons (no digitized copy located anywhere free) show a 'no verified image found' placeholder linking to the citation source. RIGHTS: no public-domain/open-license Conrad cartoon image exists; all works are copyright Los Angeles Times, Denver Post, or the Conrad estate; every image here is a low-res reproduction shown for PRIVATE, non-published reference only, each credited to its source.",
