* this article about the Hoosier cartoonist Dave Sattler ending a run of 49 years in the local paper makes a good point that a lot of these artists serve as de facto local historians. I'm always sad when a "hyper-local" cartoonist lose their place in their publication, even if it's of their own choosing. The communities they serve are less rich for their departures.
