Pat Bagley has been sketching political cartoons at the Salt Lake Tribune since 1979.
That makes him…
“the longest continuously employed full-time editorial cartoonist in America”
(beating out Steve Sack of The Minneapolis Star Tribune).
Jeff Tiberii of North Carolina Public Radio station WUNC goes long distance to talk with Utah’s Salt Lake Tribune editorial cartoonist Pat Bagley about his process, his purpose as an editoonist, his most favorite and least favorite person to draw, his Mormon heritage, lines he won’t cross, and Pat reveals a closely guarded trade secret to successful political caricaturing.
Listen to the 24 minute interview here.
above is from October 31, 1979; Pat's first(?) cartoon for The Salt Lake Tribune
