Philly paper publishes cartoons — and pays cartoonists!

A daily newspaper that’s not afraid of political cartoons? And then actually pays for them? Tis truly a holiday miracle!

The Philly Inquirer recently solicited cartoonists for a special one-shot that appears today in the print edition. Most of the cartoons are local commentary on the City of Brotherly Love, but a few are on state and national issues. You can read them online here: https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/cartoons/inq/political-cartoons-2020-election-philadelphia-change-20191220.html

If the response from readers is good, there is a possibility this could happen again, but for now let’s thank the @phillyInquirer (now wholly employee owned, btw) for putting their money where their snark is, and recognizing that editorials cartoons are still an important part of the conversation.
