Skip to comments
Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall has proclaimed May 31, 2025 Pat Bagley Day!
Bagley recently depicted Mendenhall in one of his illustrations. In the cartoon, the mayor is holding new official flags Salt Lake City adopted an effort to comply with a new Utah law banning pride flags from government buildings and schools.
A bittersweet occasion as news breaks that Pat Bagley will be retiring from his staff position at The Tribune.
Join The Tribune staff to celebrate the work and career of Pat Bagley.
After a legendary 45-year run at The Tribune, Pat Bagley is retiring from his full-time job as a political cartoonist.
He’ll continue to regularly contribute cartoons to The Tribune, but he’ll also be enjoying some well-deserved time to travel and relax.
If you’d like to celebrate with Pat before he begins this new era, please join us on June 24 at 6 p.m. We’ll have food and drinks for purchase.
The Salt Lake Tribune CEO & Executive Editor Lauren Gustus shared the news with Tribune subscribers:
Pat’s been at The Tribune for 45 years. After a long and successful career, he has decided to leave full-time work as a political cartoonist so he has more time to do what he wants to do, such as travel.
The good news: he’ll continue to draw Utah cartoons for Tribune readers after retirement, just with a bit more flexibility in his days, working as a freelancer
