Jim Borgman: Best Cartoons Cover



Alan Gardner notes that a Jim Borgman cartoon will serve as the cover image on this year's Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year, a post that in its comments section quickly slips into a discussion about how such covers are selected. Well, maybe not so much a discussion as opposed to a an exchange of words and an apology. Still: interesting, and not something you'd think about normally. I hadn't realized a potential distinction between the Brooks book and the Cagle book was political, but I'd never thought to ask the question before. It may make you look at the cover above in a slightly different light: on the one hand, Borgman's just about as big as they come these days in terms of his profession and that is a really, really handsome cartoon; on the other hand, 2006 probably wasn't a year that in total most of us would remember for sage cartoons about the lessons of 9/11.

There's really no way to write that kind of graph on that kind of subject without pissing off someone, is there? No offense, I swear.
