Go, Read: Dave Astor of E&P On The State of Editorial Cartooning

There's a nice piece up at Editor and Publisher by David Astor on the state of editorial cartooning: on the one hand, quality cartoonists and a number of printing options and presentational choices, including animation; on the other, shrinking staffroom positions and more and more demanded of remaining staffers. It's nothing you haven't heard a hundred times filtered through numerous articles of Astor's or even in postings here, but I think it's important to consider the idea that it may not be solely an issue of quality having an impact on that field. Plus, Astor gives the most depressing number for remaining staff cartoonist positions I've read yet!
