Go, Read: Matt Bors On The AAEC Convention Just Past

The editorial cartoonist Matt Bors attended the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists last weekend in Salt Lake City and writes about it in candid fashion. Bors is particularly honest about the future of that organization as editorial cartooning continues to get kidney punched by the half-idiotic money scramble, half-inevitable paradigm that is the slow, excruciating collapse of the American newspaper.

I had a good time interviewing Bors for this piece that ran yesterday. As a great fan of editorial cartooning, it kills me that we have this award-winning, prolific cartoonist with all sorts of additional talents he could bring to a newspaper and he's not only not fully employed with a staff position, no one is particularly surprised he isn't.
