From The Herb Block Foundation:

“In a historically tumultuous and heartbreaking year where so many political cartoonists created outstanding work to both comfort and eviscerate a suffering and divided nation, Rob Rogers cartoons on racial justice, pandemic hypocrisy & America’s political devolution shone bright. Rob is a virtuoso with tongue-in-cheek irony, using at times a deft touch, sometimes a two-by-four, always sharply on target and thoroughly engaging.”

Said The Foundation:

“Darrin Bell’s cartoons illuminate a path through the political and societal pall with authority, gravitas and extraordinary artistic skill, leaving no doubt to his audience as to what – and who – is wrong in our nation.”

  1. Excellent. In your face, Steve Kelly and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for forcing out a world-class cartoonist. CONGRATULATIONS to Rob Rogers; keep them coming.

  2. Well, I don’t think Steve Kelley had anything to do
    with the troubles between Rob Rogers and the PP-G.

  3. Mea culpa; you’re right. I was thinking of Keith Burris, to whom Block Communications gave editorial oversight for the PPG in addition to his same responsibilities at the Toledo, OH paper, The Blade.

  4. Congratulations, Rob and Darrin, and well deserved!

  5. Great bodies of work. Congrats to Rob and Darrin.
