Cartoonists, Live Online

Tom-Toles-interview Robert Wright interviewed Tom Toles in a Bloggingheads episode in March. The two discussed, via live webcam, the secret of successful blogging, revealed how cartooning has (and hasn’t) changed since Herblock’s day, the origin of the little guy in the bottom corner, and will the Internet kill the political cartoon?

This spring, the Chicago Tribune posted a time lapse film online of its cartoonist, Scott Stantis, drawing a cartoon. From pencil sketch to finished product, about 2 minutes. Good soundtrack, great fun. https://www.chicagotribune.com/videobeta/5af02803-0b34-448c-8b84-05679718abf7/News/An-editorial-cartoon-drawn-in-two-minutes

Kick back and watch this video of Rob Rogers' lecture to the Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for the Arts in Society, delivered on March 6, 2010. "Runs 39 minutes," wrote The Daily Cartoonist's Alan Gardner, "but well worth it." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOoD_VxJRhU&feature=channel
