It’s official. The Baltimore Sun has announced that it’s bringing it’s long time editorial cartoonist, Kevin “KAL” Kallaugher, to their editorial pages starting next week. Unfortunately it’s not a full-time gig – just a weekly cartoon in the Sunday edition.
You can see a video that was produced to promote his return on their website.
KAL was the staff editorial cartoonist for 17 years but took a buy-out in 2005 when his job appeared to be on the cutting block. He then went on to be the artist-in-residence at the University of Maryland Baltimore County and started an animation company to produce his Digital Dubya character ? an animated caricature of former US President George W. Bush.
Congratulations to KAL! And kudos to the Sun for recognizing the benefits and advantages of having such a great cartoonist back in the fold.
Congrats Kal.
A guy w/ KAL’s pedigree is hired to do one cartoon a week for a major American daily and this is cause for “congratulations”…
$250.00 wk?
It could be a window to get back into the daily opinion pages, and one window is better than nothing when you don’t have a door…
