The Charlotte Observer interviews Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist Doug Marlette about his latest novel and the power (or lack thereof) of today’s editorial cartoons.

Actually one columnist’s thoughts on what another columnist had to say about the decline of the comics page, brought to his attention by “Berry’s World” creator Jim Berry.

Chris Britt of the The State Journal-Register in Springfield, Illinois won first place for editorial cartoon in the latest Illinois Press Association competition.
