Go, Read: Bill Leak Unpacks A Cartoon About Photographer Bill Henson

I like the way Bill Leak explains his motivations for this cartoon about photographer Bill Henson's method for recruiting models, although I freely admit that it touches on like 18 billion molten-lava hot issues with which I might find perfect disagreement. I think I like most of all that it's a considerable artist talking about an arts issue in a way that doesn't necessarily dumb it down for the audience, turn it into a strident point, or use it to drive a joke rather than the other way around. I don't see many cartoons like this one from American cartoonists.
