Quote of the Week
"OK. I get it. They can do what they want to do in Herblock's name. But the irony of this award creates a great opportunity to make the point about how terrible The New York Times has been for cartoonists." Daryl Cagle expressing dismay that an award carrying the name of the revered editorial cartoonist Herblock went to such a cartoon-unfriendly institution.
