There was a lot of talk at the Festival of Cartoon Art in Columbus last weekend lamenting the decline in employment opportunities for editorial cartoonists. I tried editorial cartooning early in my newspaper career, but I was never very good. How these folks are able to generate ideas so quickly, draw caricatures, etc. on a daily basis is truly an amazing skill.
Whether you love or hate a particular editorial cartoonist, at least they make you think. Here's a video from TED.com about editorial cartooning. Enjoy!
