This week, we thought we’d share with you one of our favorite classic Lowdown issues from December 2021, on the increasingly tough time political cartoonists are having with the state of news. Enjoy!
Cartoon by Brian DuffyAs a tyke, I never dreamed of growing up to be a political activist/ commentator, but here I am, and it's worked out pretty well for me. I've been lucky enough to have a voice in public matters and eke out a modest living running my mouth as an independent populist agitator. Still, I have to confess to the sin of Job Envy. Not in the sense of being resentful, but regretful about my own inability to lift the trade of journalistic commentary to the heights attained by a small, feisty collection of unique public opinionators: Political cartoonists.
