Go, Read: Profile Of A Cartoonist And A Single Issue

I almost didn't read this profile of Telegraph cartoonist Matt Pritchett that focuses on the issues of property ownership, but I'm glad I did; I thought it was a nice reminder of the intersection of the personal and professional that hits even the most genial editorialists. It's also a set of fears and concerns that doesn't get a whole lot of play, I think because the idea of owning property is seen as both a privilege of having attained a certain amount of success and something that everyone expects you to do.

There's an accompanying gallery of cartoons. Pritchett is his paper's pocket cartoonist, which tends means really straight-forward, quick hits on issues -- there's rarely anything obtuse or non-clear about such cartoons the way you might see in a standard US newspaper cartoonist's work.
