Cagle on State of Editorial Cartooning



Daryl Cagle writes about the state of editorial cartooning coming at it from a slightly different angle than one is used to hearing -- that of the lost opportunity. Cagle points out at least one thing I never thought of before, that the use of editorial cartoons in classrooms should prime the newspapers for their increased use in print, as there's certainly a much greater chance they'll be understood. There's also an anecdote about an editor viewing offerings in terms of writer-centric editorial cartoons versus graphic-driven editorial cartoons that is slightly depressing. It also, and I think this may be Cagle's point, seems counter-intuitive when it comes to deciding what should be run on the page.
