Rob Rogers Talks About His Recent Controversial Police Brutality Cartoon

Editor & Publisher has a short interview in feature-form with Rob Rogers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about his recent cartoon drawing attention to the racial implications of a well-publicized beating of a local man. The most interesting thing about the chat is that Rogers asserts the multiple-beat progression of the cartoon allowed for greater back and forth than a single-panel statement, which is totally logicall but something I'd never heard before. Anyway, that's an important story that sounds like it's ending at the criticism-made-known level -- which is where most such issues should end, I think.
