How Many Staff Editorial Cartoonists Are There?

We always hear that there are a little over 25 editorial cartoonists on staff at print newspapers in the United States. Or a bit under 50, or around two score and two, or about three dozen, or …

But never a list of those dwindling souls.


Eric Devericks moved on.

So here is a list of staff editorial cartoonists at print newspapers, but we need your help in adding to the list since we have certainly, but not purposely, overlooked some. If we have attributed staff status to some on the list that are no longer in that position please let us know that also.

Our list, which floats “around 30” (in alphabetical order):

  1. John Cole is no longer on this list… details to follow shortly

  2. So you’re talking staff, freelancers, or both, as there are some on your list who are NOT on staff.

  3. We’re talking staff. The reports are always saying that the once hundreds of STAFF cartoonists are now down to dozens. We are trying to get close to an exact number of those staff cartoonists.
    Please let us know who are not staff on our list and who we have not listed who should be on the list.
