Bigger Than The Actual Drawing: Scott Stantis Reflects On Still-New Trib Gig

Although it kind of trails off at the end, this profile of Chicago Tribune editorial cartoonist Scott Stantis has a few nuggets worth extracting -- especially if, like me, you consider Stantis receving this gig one of the more symbolically important news events this new century. I didn't know that he was an official member of the editorial board, which is something that used to be more common than I think it is today. I was also encouraged by the drive he felt after witnessing his first editorial meetings -- a feeling papers should try to replicate in the paper itself -- and the fact alluded to in the title that the printed version of his first cartoon was bigger than the drawing itself.
