'''''Noggin''''' was an [[United States|American]] [[magazine]] that published art, fiction, cartoons, and social and political commentary. It started in [[Iowa City]], [[Iowa]] in 1990 <ref>University of Iowa Library [http://infohawk.uiowa.edu/F/AMGGAGHPDVMKYCSTQACGE1KIXTPGK5Y5EYQL7ND1SFXFMT3YJL-17985?func=item-global&doc_library=IOW01&doc_number=001781620&year=&volume=&sub_library=SPEC U of Iowa Library cardhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages Special pages catalog link for ''Noggin'']</ref> and published semimonthly for three years.

During its heyday, ''Noggin'' found its way into a variety of local and international controversies. The magazine and its founder, [[Tom Hunter]], appeared in three profile articles in the ''[[Daily Iowan]]'', the ''[[Cedar Rapids Gazette]]'' and the ''[[Iowa City Press-Citizen]]''. In addition to its inclusion of ribald cartoons by [[Scott Warren]], ''Noggin'' contained images from painters and the sketchbooks of artists.

''Noggin'''s controversial third issue <ref>[http://nebraskawriter2.googlepages.com/NogginMagazine_V1N3_Jan1991_Page01_p.JPG] V1,N3</ref> was devoted to opposition to the [[Gulf War]].<ref>[http://nebraskawriter2.googlepages.com/NogginMagazine_V1N3_Jan1991_Page02_p.JPG]</ref> This coincided with a heavily political time in Iowa City and a march with an alleged 10,000 participants through the streets of Iowa City in protest of [[George H. W. Bush]]'s Gulf War.

''Noggin'' V1,N3 from January 1991 opposed the [[Gulf War]],<ref>[http://nebraskawriter2.googlepages.com/NogginMagazine_V1N3_Jan1991_Page10_p.JPG]</ref> thereby generating a controversy in the ''[[Daily Iowan]]'' and ''[[Iowa City Press-Citizen]]''.
