Prickly City by Scott Stantis for August 10, 2023

I had to check, whatever it was couldn’t turn into fossil fuel. I bit!

The best editorial cartoons not only make you think but also laugh.

I’m so old I not only remember editiorial cartoons, I remember sports cartoons. (Look up Bill Gallo)

Dear Mr. Stantis.

You are amazing at your craft and I know a great deal of people who are fans of your work. You have fantastic talent, and it will carry you no matter what the future holds.

I just thought you might like to hear that. Keep rocking hard Mr.Stantis.

It’s yet another outcome of market concentration.

Anyone you have to pay is an expense. And any expense you can cut, but do not is LOSING MONEY.

I want my news undiluted by opinions. I want opinions 8n the editorial department.

“At the beginning of the last century, about 2,000 editorial cartoonists worked for American newspapers. By 1957 the number of full-time newspaper cartoonists had fallen to 275. As recently as 2007, they numbered 84, but the decline has continued to the point that the number of salaried cartoonists has reached about 30.” Source: The End Times of the Political Cartoon – POLITICO Magazine https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/07/01/the-end-times-of-the-political-cartoon-227259

Yeah. Memers do it for free.

Fossil Fuel is on the way out, too.

Many editorial cartoonists would benefit from editorial criticism. It’s not what you say but how you say it. There are way too many of you who say any old stupid thing without thought as to whether it quality work or not.

Actually it’s plant and microfauna material that can provide fossil fuel. The big guy content is insignificant.

Get a real job, isn’t that what a right winger would say? You don’t work hard enough…

“Things always end. That’s what gives them value.”

My local paper has a political cartoon on the editorial page every day and six on Sunday.

Calling editorial cartoonists dinosaurs?

Herblock,where are you?
