Fort Wayne in a Nutshell: A Cartoon Retrospective by Steve Smeltzer

Fort Wayne in a Nutshell: A Cartoon Retrospective is a collection of 75 funny, full-color, and family-friendly cartoons about the people, places, and things in Indiana's second-largest city, Fort Wayne, IN. Each page includes a funny cartoon and a helpful paragraph describing the cartoon's connection to Fort Wayne culture, from building the first fort to modern times. For instance, in addition to a cartoon about the Fort Wayne Three Rivers Festival, that page also includes a paragraph that contains a brief history of when, where, and how the first festival began. This is an ideal book for the people of Fort Wayne and those from surrounding cities, counties, or people planning a move to Fort Wayne. It's also an excellent book as a gift for family and friends who have moved away from Fort Wayne. The book's unique blend of humor and information might evoke a sense of nostalgia, making it a perfect tool to bring back fond memories of the city. Who knows, maybe they will read it, get homesick, and move back to town. Laugh along and learn something from original single-panel cartoons about this Northeastern Indiana city's landmarks, legends, institutions, retail establishments, and so much more! All of these cartoons were created by Fort Wayne native Steve Smeltzer, whose work has appeared in publications such as Sweetwater Music Calendars, The Wall Street Journal, Chicago Health Magazine, Reader's Digest, Saturday Evening Post, Good Housekeeping, and Better Homes and Gardens. This book makes a nice gift for yourself or your friends and family. It's a fun, easy-to-read exploration into the world of our hometown, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
